Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Poetic

Climate Change

It’s too late now, they’ve taken to acts of revenge. I wouldn’t just step out with bare feet on my grassy lawn after the sprinklers were on, you might get a shock! And I’m not talking about your brain freeze as you see thousands of electric wormlike creatures gravitating towards your porch steps…notice how they ignore the trees and natural creatures? Yes my friend, they are coming straight for you. Better get on those rubber flip flops asap!

Photo Challenge #534

There must be gods somewhere

Providing such a beauty fare

All manner of colors and hues

From maples, oaks, oh I can’t choose

The most beautiful of autumn’s trees

Brilliance before losing leaves

They fall to ground to ease

Soil for another season, please

Loving delicate crunchy, curly, bits

Providing nourishment for spring, it fits

Because every season prepares for the next

Mother nature’s plan not perplexed

She has been around

Knows her ground

And all seasons’ grace abounds.

Poetics: Fall (in) love

Number 4:

You are intelligent

You are beautiful

You are talented

You are worthy

Life is not a fairytale

Ignore criticism

You will succeed

You can achieve whatever you decide to do

Keep the faith

Keep your sense of humor.

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts – September 24, 2024

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Do you prefer to sit in an armchair or curl up on a couch in the evening? I’m in a wheelchair 90% of my waking hours, then recliner for a movie maybe.

2.  What was the last book you read? The last book I read was “Cave 13” by Jonathan Maberry. Just started T J Klune’s “Somewhere Beyond the Sea”.

3.  What snacks do you enjoy?All the worst ones, chips, cookies etc, but usually now it’s veggies and fruit.

4.  Do you prefer vegetables over fruit? I love both but veggies probably every day a love.

Gratitude: I am grateful an old woman who lived in this complex moved to assisted living where she can get the care she needs. It was a big change but she’s getting used to it. And always, family.

Joe only wished he had a chance
But Sue never offered a glance
One stare at his clothes
Jeans ripped in wide rows
And said, “not if you wear those pants!”

Joe knew that it was his last chance
If he wanted Sue at the dance
He got down on one knee
With a smile and a plea
Sue said yes with a grinning glance.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

Cool mornings, pleasant evening chills, all enjoyed by a warm bonfire. Maple trees are the stars of autumn’s beginning, a short vision, and then we watch children dance in leaf piles.

equal nights and days

colored leaves display

autumn’s not here to stay

it is mother nature’s way

Haibun Monday 9-25-23: Equinox

A penny for your thoughts he said, as if he had no clue

He invited company, and I wasn’t in the mood

For years I’ve been baking treats, a birthday cake or two

Even cooked a roast and short ribs, by the slew

My husband brags over my abilities, so true

I wish he’d hire someone else to stand over a hot stew.

Each tiny kernel shows

Ornamental corn growth

Such intricate designs

Mother Nature takes her time

Choosing colors so sublime

See the beauty of a rhyme

In a harvest.

I think she has it all figured out

She never comments with a pout

Her consistent efforts are without

Rancor or criticism, and there’s no doubt

She’s a very nice lady we need to thank

So many followers show how she ranks

As an outstanding blogger!
