It’s giving me fits!
Yes, WordPress! I had a poem all spaced out for Moonlight Musings, with the photo above and some type of symbol turned up I couldn’t get rid of. It ended up deleting the whole poem leaving the photo. I was trying to replace the photo and the poetry part just disappeared. I guess it’s time to screenshot everything again. All of these new things on the bottom of the screen – most I know, but odd stuff just appears. This particular symbol boxes everything in and won’t let me see the whole screen to write more. I need help — a daily plea from me for WP, but anyone know how to fix this?
“Antman”
I decided to watch all the Marvel movies in order and tonight I’m watching Antman from 2015. My favorite character in this movie is Luis portrayed by Michael Peña. He is an excellent actor and fits himself well into different roles. Of course Paul Rudd has that ability also and plays Antman. Have some laughs and enjoy!
FFFC from Melissa
For the visually challenged writer, the image depicts a gray cat with white belly and yellow eyes sitting to the left of two canvas portraits leaned up against a wall. The cat faces us and has her right ear turned slightly as if she’s heard a sound. The portraits show cats wearing a very baroque style of dress: an orange cat with bright green eyes wearing a jacket with a flouncy white neck scarf, and the gray cat with yellow eyes wearing a gown with many embellishments and a ruff collar.

“I say Reginald, is that a portrait of your mother or is that your uncle and his wife? Quite posh! I never find any type of clothing comfortable so you would never see my image in such a fashion! By the way, you are looking sleek and mahvelus!”

W3- Sun
Compose a free verse poem of any length (but consider that I am a slow reader; save the tomes for next time);
Thematic: The theme for this poem should be ~ “the SUN”
Lacking warmth we search for you
Through windy clouds peeking through
A glimpse of course always there
But we need more if you dare
Autumn makes you shy in morning
Foggy grays are now warning
Heavy rain and hail for the day
Stripping leaves in nature‘s way
With future snow and icy tours
We need more of your warm hours.

dVerse Poetics
A good soup has many ingredients
Appeal heightened by different flavors and colors
Chunky or slivered bits
Slices of the exotic
Taste always enhanced by variety
Enjoyed all year but
Savored against winter chills
Soup can unite the palate and senses.

Fandango’s Story Starter+
This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
When she looked at her cellphone, she was shocked to see she had 33 voicemail messages. The entire romance was such an abrupt chain of events and then deciding to elope? The idea was a complete mockery of her culture. The cell phone never stopped ringing in her father’s rampant attempt to reach her. It had been twelve hours since she last contacted him. Now she was afraid to. She quickly packed her bags and joined her lover in a cab to the airport.
