SenHai Saturday #67

Sara was worried about the cake. All the stirring, churning the butter sugar mixture, separating the dough into different colors, so much work in making it! The waves constant flow caused a strand of bees to adventure near to the spot she placed the cake. A sudden buzz of wasp strays came closer and she nervously ducked down. It was a mistake to come aboard so early to set up the birthday surprise. The sun was getting too hot and the bees loved the scent of sweet cake.

He said, let’s have dinner Al fresco
I bought steaks at Tesco
Also some potatoes and wine…
She responded, that sounds fine.
The evening sunset was beautiful too
Everything seemed perfect, till a slew
Of pigeons decided to join and flew
Right over the barbecue
Feathers and more drifted askew.

Weekend Writing Prompt #483 – Alfresco

You know George, that cane could collapse on you, where’s your walker?

They don’t let walkers on the bus, Shirley. Did you know that is one reason I’m leaving this apartment! Road trips are great and just because you need a walker or a wheelchair doesn’t mean you don’t want to go on these trips! Everyone needs to be able to get out and travel a bit. When I bought this home/apartment, it was in the contract but now they’ve changed. They even closed off the community room where many of my friends gathered for coffee. Now it’s an empty space.

Everything trickles down from the Trump cutbacks, George.

Haiku Fridays with J-Dub #18

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — August 28th

The tanaga is a traditional Filipino poetic form, similar in its brevity and depth to the Japanese haiku. It often uses rich metaphor, or talinghaga, to offer wisdom, advice, or vivid imagery.

Write a tanaga inspired by the theme “Life and Wisdom.” Explore the lessons we learn from living, the choices we make, and the experiences that shape us. Even a simple image from nature can become a metaphor for a deeper truth or moral lesson.

Your tanaga should follow these guidelines:

• Write exactly four lines.
• Use seven syllables in each line.
• Follow an AAAA rhyme scheme. Modern variations such as ABAB or AABB are also welcome.
• Traditionally, tanagas are untitled, allowing the poem to speak for itself

W3 Prompt #226: Wea’ve Written Weekly

Everyone tells you about their sleep

Some stories want to make you weep

Or irritate because they’re on repeat

About pains in their legs and feet

These could be secrets to keep

But people just love to tell

About themselves when they’re not well

But since this fact is well known

These words aren’t something I own

I hope Murphy is somewhere deep

Doesn’t hear that I have good nights’ sleep.
