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”!

Just felt like hearing this☺️

Her heart was done, her luck run out, socializing over with, and she was beyond disappointed. As she passed by the club, music from Company C drifted out and she thought of how thrilled she was when on week six, her band had won the contest. Now since the war began, the variety was gone and military sentiment was popular again.

Education 2026

Early morning routine involves fixing a small lunch bag holding quail egg sandwiches, apple slices, raisins, and flat pressed gummy made of soy and veggies. Purified water bottle is added for your student.

students’ day starting

prayer to some new unknown

redacted books class

history has been redone

science, math no longer taught

I’m not the one to hold a grudge

But Mike has eaten all the fudge

He is getting so fat

Nothing fits but his hat

After sitting, can’t even budge!

Laughing Along With A Limerick

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  What brings you the most comfort:
food, friends, a good movie, pets, a walk on the beach/in the park, something else. Being with my family such as this coming Sunday for a Thanksgiving get together is my most fun. Second would be a walk in the woods.

2.  Most of us love our food. Is there something you like but know you shouldn’t have it? Of course, but I find craving something and then actually having it, such as French fries—it’s never as good as I thought it would be. But a piece of rhubarb pie? I’m in!

3.   Do you prefer a garden of flowers or growing vegetables, or do you not have a garden? I had a few pots of flowers and one tomato plant on my patio this year. I enjoyed it.

4.  Would you like to be rich, I mean REALLY rich? If I was really rich I would give my children and grandchildren homes of their choice, anything else they needed and then stock the food pantry in town, build homes for the disadvantaged and maintain a free medical clinic.

Gratitude: I am grateful I have a get together with friends tonight.✌🏻
