I find it peculiar
A myth familiar
Seen in present days
A man’s impudent ways
He took a peek
From Pandora, a Greek
And opened the box, it
Let out the toxic
Speeches and rules
Put fear in schools
In our homes and streets.

the king rests

spring done summer comes

cover me

–

green vines dress me up

a necklace of leaves surround

contrasting black bark

I love this photo and subject☺️

Maybe he thought it a must. Clearing off history, causing historical dust. Imagine the shock as he truly said, it’s necessary, and then we saw with dread, the demolition. Gone was tradition. A sad sight indeed. Gone was his cause for admiration.

Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #376

“Potatoes? Throwing potatoes? That’s your idea?” Joe almost laughed but couldn’t .We can’t even reach them!” Joe shifted, twisted in the rough old ropes as they prickled his neck. The wires used to pinch his wrists together were eating into his skin. His friend Mike started to have glassy eyes and was unresponsive as the continuing fright of the situation was drifting through his mind. Still, a runner might be coming down the road, and discover them, Joe felt he had to keep up hope. He tried to wiggle his way up closer to the bank of the highway but it was too painful to keep it up. Mike finally flopped over, probably losing consciousness. Joe didn’t give up and kept moving.

Ben may have made a point

But he’d be surprised at the new joint

At 1600 Pennsylvania

Probably couldn’t contain it

Words of truth, freedom, historical

Seeing it now as just comical

A figure of leisurely fun and games

No, it will never be the same

Representing the American way

It’s lost its past and future days

Leisurely is a congressional word

Their non actions are absurd

Get rid of them all, especially Mike

Rules with a fist I dislike

If I disappear from this blog

You’ll know they got me, for my song.

W3 Prompt #215: Wea’ve Written Weekly

Solitude
Not being rude
Actually
I don’t think it’s
What its cracked up to be…
Being alone, trying to read
Stopping the page
Taking a bead
Of time to reflect
Ok, that’s enough.

Weekend Writing Prompt #472 – Solitude

I don’t remember inviting you, she spoke with a chilly attitude. The little bothersome guest flew by, stinging a child, making her cry. Summer parties are really fun, as long as you don’t invite this one.
