Crystal twigs of the proverbial tree
Divine ancestors who should be familiar to see
Their blood cells connecting their creation to me
I wallow in a memory of me and thee
And I wake on the unbroken ledge of family
And realize how fortunate I am to be me.

Weekend Writing Prompt #359 – Tempest
This word core has a special meaning the last two and a half weeks. “This will give you strength in your core” the physical therapist says as you are holding weights above your head and the guy across the table who looks like ex-military, is stretching up high. I told him he was a show off.
“I don’t have a core “ I said, “I’ve been in this wheelchair 14 years and now all I have is a big blob between my boobs and my legs”. No one looked very amused as they were struggling to hold up the weights also. I’ve discovered all kinds of new muscles or lack thereof during my stay at this rehabilitation center.
Welcome to the Saturday Mix – No Nonsense, 13 April 2024!
You will be given a nonsensical, made-up word. You will need to come up with your own definition and use it creatively and in context, in your response. It is your choice whether you write using poetry or prose.
Your nonsense word this week is: “preadepoute”. Remember, define it; then use it!
Preadepoute: Otterlike creature with long snout
***
It seems they have snuck back again
We thought they’d all disappeared and then
A long sharp nose peered out a crack
Someone screamed, “they’re back!”
I’m usually not one to criticize
But this animal’s not easy on the eyes
The body has long fur wildly sticking out
But the worst part is the long pointed snout
It gets into places it shouldn’t be
Too bad it doesn’t live in a tree
Instead it wanders into places
Even chain link fences save no graces
Chickens, cows and even pigs
Won’t dance its friendly jigs
Therefore he is a lonely sort
At least that’s what the geese report.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ends with “ound.” Find a word (or words) that ends with “ound” and use it any way you’d like.
Using words with “ound”
There’s a lot hanging around
Forget about ones like wound
With double usages that astound
Making you utter unpleasant sounds
In for a penny, in for a pound
With SoCS you’re never bound
To follow rules that sometimes confound
And you might even write something profound!

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS April 13, 2024
Thanks to all who voted for our athletes at South High school. The girls took the 1-0 victory and played another highly rated team with a 0-0 ending score. They are pumped at being considered a worthy opponent in a district of three competing schools plus being the lowest thought of. They are an example of hard teamwork paying off. Today is another highly rated school match but South girls varsity soccer is getting ready to be victorious again.
