“I say, are you a gaucho? I’m taking photographs of the local culture and I noticed you sort of herding that group of men.” The men in question were lined up, walking a familiar trail singing, oddly enough, Chinese work songs. The man on the horse gave the photographer a hateful look and spurred his horse on ahead. The young man with the camera looked around quickly and seemed to search for something. Looking desperate, he thought he never should have tried the local food special for lunch. He got into his car and looked for a Texaco bathroom. It was a safe place he thought, but his stomach sounded a huge growl and he thought he probably wasn’t going to make it.

PROMPT WORD:  BENEFIT

***

Promises of benefits I think they’re for the wealthy. The money floating in the wind for bribes is not stealthy. It’s in the open, all the crimes of the ne’er-do-wells. It’s almost like some voters were under evil spells. We sit in shock at suggested appointees. Now holiday vacations cannot be taken with any ease.

Ovi Poetry Challenge 74: CHEER is your inspiration.

Neighborhood lights flash on

The dog sits in his backyard barking

An every night occurrence

One neighbor calls the police

They talk to the dog’s owners

Confrontation doesn’t work

Police take the dog away

Neighborhood quiet until one adopts a puppy

Neighborhood lights flash on

A puppy sits in his backyard whining.

Into the woods I walk far

Looking for sprites and fairies thar

How they hide and can remain unseen

Only children’s eyes are keen

They still believe in magic you see

And that’s the most important key.

Riddle This – Saturday Mix, 16 November 2024

Today I’m grateful I finally got a good night’s sleep.

Ideal weather would be about a sunny 70F degrees.

I never did and think pets probably don’t enjoy it.
