I’ve had some luck with wishes

My life is mostly varied dishes

One day sunset hues in a wine here

Then I complain about a salmon sear

Macaroni and cheese says it is clear

Comfort food wishes are very dear

Salad, a dish so variety hued

You forget it’s a healthy food

Now soup might be an inspiration

Wishing it’s already a made creation

It takes work and imagination

To cook up wishes that cause elation

All in all wishes can come true

With perseverance and action too.

One-Liner Wednesday – My cup

I’ve read many books by VE Schwab, starting with “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue” which I loved. I also loved the “A Darker Shade of Magic” series. This book is the first of two in a different series, “Vicious”. Also, the narrator is excellent.

“Victor and Eli begin as college roommates and discover that near-death experiences, under the right conditions, can create superhuman abilities.”

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (November 18, 2024) 📚📚

I chose number 2:

Rocky Mountain National Park

I think you already know I live in Wyoming. It is not my choice. I’d rather live in Colorado. This state is all red. Colorado is blue. And of course now all that doesn’t matter. I’ve ranted on this so I’ll skip off to a favorite subject of mine, mountains. The Rocky Mountains stretch from New Mexico to British Columbia. If you want to see the various altitudinal zonation changes, it’s your trip. I took this drive and for the first time I saw little pikas and yellow bellied marmots. There are elk, big horn sheep, and even bats flying over streams at night.

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts – November 18, 2024

Diet Degrade

I came home from the doctor’s appointment and opened the cupboard. There lay all the supposedly healthy foods I used in my diet the last three months. My weight, my cholesterol, my general health was bad; the experts and blood tests reported, so I bought these lovely items to improve my well being. Today the new tests showed I had gained ten pounds, my blood counts were way off and in general, I feel lousy. So I pulled up my trash can and emptied out the cupboard. Then I got in my car and went straight to the KFC drive-thru.

His name Dijon, the color of mustard

To ride him calms my mind, flustered

I would ask him, to the mountain please

He would angle his wings, we’d fly with ease

Of course he would often detour

Anywhere, his choice du jour

I don’t mind the deviation much

Instinctively he knows when to touch

My mind with lovely stories told

Adventures together when we were bold

He’s my friend and companion true

He takes me where I forget the blue

We streak through a sunset glowing

All the while he is knowing

What my mind and heart feel

Every voyage a comfort wields.

Legendary Creatures

black birds dot the sky

fly to warmer wetland homes

season changing hues

leafless tree limbs tangled

flowers show few petals now

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Tangle

A prompt from Linda @https://lindaghill.com

It’s Cold! That’s what, and of course windy because winter is coming…Traveling for Thanksgiving reminds me of the old song “over the river and through the woods”!
