She said, “To be pretty for you I have dropped two seeds of turnsole in the dark of both eyes.” He was suddenly taken aback as her words seemed to cause his heart to crack. Surely such words were not coming from her, as he had spoken of her beauty many times. He studied her, wondering how she could not have realized how he adored her— that her beauty was only an ornament. He softly took her in his arms, and pressed her close. Leaning back, seeking any expression or speech that could convey his truest feelings to her, he pulled her to him again. She seemed unresponsive, stiffening, as if unable to believe his words.

“No tincture of magic was ever needed. There is nothing in this world that could in any way compare to my love for you, just as you are.”

She heard the grieving whispers as the mourners gathered on the shore. Since his death, the hurt was clawing at her every thought, roaming in her mind, making it hard to breathe. The roughly hewn boat lay still while his body was encompassed in the flammable fluid. Suddenly the rush of multiple swift arrows filled the space and the funeral began.

“Damn it, Jim!” The ten year old Star Trek fanatic looked around sheepishly hoping his mom was not spying, as she often did. The two friends were fascinated by science fiction tv. “I can’t beam you up right now, the flux capacitor is on the fritz!” Joey stood up behind the lawn chair he was supposedly hiding behind and yelled, “highly illogical, Scotty, that was in Back to the Future!” Then Joey started for home, saying “Live long and prosper, Scotty.”

The Commitments

This song is from one of my all time favorite movies, “The Commitments”. Set in the Northside of Dublin, the film tells the story of Jimmy Rabbitte (Robert Arkins), a young music fanatic who assembles a group of working-class youths to form a soul band named “The Commitments”. The film is the first in a series known as The Barrytown Trilogy, followed by The Snapper (1993) and The Van (1996). “Treat Her Right” is a soul music song, with a standard 12-bar-blues structure. Written by Roy Head and Gene Kurtz.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

PROPOSAL
“Not exactly a Hallmark moment, eh, James?”
“What did you expect? Hearts and flowers, maybe some Russell Stover chocolates— your favorites—the all cream box? Face it Michelle, you set your expectations way too high. Joe is just an ordinary fella, watches sports on tv, likes a nice cold beer and barbecue. There isn’t a facetious bone in his body. Take him or leave him!”

SoCS 9-9-23

We’ll mostly it has been a great day! I got to sleep in, my daughter took me out to lunch and bought me some Palisade Peaches. It was a nice pick me up after having a sign stolen from my patio. It was only up for about a few hours. At least I hope a point was made…it said no peeing or pooping here. I contemplated writing a note and putting it up in the lobby saying, “whoever removed my property owes me $12.00” but know it wouldn’t do any good. It seems people are more rude these days than ever and feel free to say or do anything they want at all times. I suppose every generation says “the world is going to hell in a hand basket” and I’m not even sure why you would need a hand basket? Whatever, hope you have a good weekend and no gross visitations.
