One-Liner Wednesday – That feeling when…
One Liner Wednesday
Category: Uncategorized
Life as we know it…
Mogadishu, Kalamazoo
Pacific Grove California too
Wherever you go around in a whirl
It’s all the same, the same old world
Conflicts, protests, sickness and cures,
Haters, and lovers all think they allure
The future depends on the survival of all
Every tint, every color feel fate’s rise and fall
The world keeps turning, but for how long
When we just keep playing the same old song
How long shall we sit in our safe comfy rooms
Watching, never acting, to change this doom?

Fandango’s Story Starter
This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
I didn’t see her when I opened the door, but I knew she was there. I could smell her perfume, “Night in Zambia”, we called it. When we were in Africa the life was simple and sweet with cooling lazy nights around a fire and hot sweaty days of watching wildlife. A perfume of sorts including all the scents of day and night and closeness were only between us. It had been ten years since she left me, but I can still feel and smell her presence.

Word Craft Poetry
Tanka Tuesday: I’ve asked my friend, and photographer, Terri Webster Schrandt, from secondwindleisure.com.
seeds of future buds revealed
symbol of a birth
silently nature waits on
time to complete the cycle
dVerse Poetics – Transitions
Some changes you have no choice
You think you have a voice
A say in what happens when
You think you do, and then
You’re knocked off your feet
Unaware of the defeat
Dreams, plans, all disappear
Your loved one dies and then fear
Can I make it all alone
Will I still have a home
It takes some time to realize
Things go on and you still have your life.

3TC – Oh Baby!
She’ll make you cry!
The sultry look is all a lie.
She’ll never be put in jail.
No crime committed, just beyond the pale.

Opposites Attract
Mike liked Sherry in blue, especially in high necked sequins. The shiny bits reflected in her eyes, and he could stare at her for hours. Sherry liked black and silky, form fitting, draped and lowered in all the right places. Sherry’s husband also liked the touch of satiny silk, tight and black on her body made him melt. Mike’s wife Marla’s favorite color was red, fluffy netting or feathers enhanced, and knew not of Mike’s secret adoration of blue sequins. All four people acted like magnets.

MMLM Wordle – Soggy Singing
Everyone around us was getting grumpy as we embarked past the restriction/roped area at the fairgrounds. We were a fortunate few who entered the tented area for a concert. Despite the sound of thunder, we hoped the special voucher would let us backstage if the storm came. Before we left the house we took inventory of our backpacks, following our dad’s advice to make a list. Without his assistance, we would have been recipients of soaked clothing, even under the tent. As the rain graduated from light to heavy with hail, even the tent and our heavy rain jackets didn’t help much.

1. Do you use a feather duster for cleaning? I have one with a wand extension.
2. Do you use a washing liquid, ‘ball’ thingie or washing powder? I use the clear and free pods.
3. Do you own anything that has to be hand washed? Yes, but rarely wear it.
4. Do you use, or have you ever used, a laundry service? When our first child was born in 1967, someone gifted us a diaper service, but other than that, only a dry cleaner for my husband’s suits.
Gratitude: My granddaughter turned 17 two days ago and yesterday we had a pie bar party at my apartment. Cannot believe my oldest grandson will be 30 in May. Way too fast☺️
