The violin playing complimented the gothic atmosphere, but Carla was still squeamish after knowing it was not a real person, but a lifelike mannequin.

Get to Know You #92!
fear
the worst
hidden thoughts
your enemy

Julie sat in the same place on the same shoreline for the same length of time every single day. No matter the weather, hot blazing sun or icy winds would not deter Julie, it was her quest.

June Visual Poetry Prompt

Especially when on the road

Can you stop that streak
And the passenger’s laughter crowed.

Laughing Along With A Limerick
Canary
Sitting in a cage
So lonely
Nodding off
Until Joe’s lemonade spills
Drops splash into cage.
