T for Typhon, largest, angriest, and most powerful mythical creature from Ancient Greece, also known as Typhoeus, is the child of Gaia and Tartarus. He is known as the father of all monsters. A gargantuan even the Greek gods feared—a giant beast with a serpent’s body that hissed as it moved and large wings that whipped up a ferocious storm wherever Typhon went. Hence the word typhoon, but could also use fire to destroy anything in his path.

Depending on descriptions, he had a human-like torso and, in some instances, up to a hundred fire-breathing dragon heads. Typhon was so mighty that Zeus needed 100 bolts of lightning to best the creature before locking it beneath Mount Etna. Typhon was the most fearsome and threatening creature the gods of Olympus ever faced off against.

Six Sentence Story

I’d had enough with beauty shops. It seems they start and never stop! I went in for just a trim and then, it seemed I’d entered a tattoo den. Every consultant pierced and tatted, not that the look ever seemed to matter. It’s just after I sat down they started working my hair crown. Cut, and curler fried consequences, my graying scalp red dyed, scared to look in the mirror, I averted my eyes. Suddenly done and done they gleefully chimed, and I sheepishly looked and couldn’t deny, I looked gorgeous!

The Sunday Whirl – Hot time in…

Dancing in a line of seven, name me the odd man out
Rising temperatures from bodies eeking their way down
No matter the gender, perspiration rules
A risk as it’s building, running downward as it pools
Take it for granted it’s an ever willing distress
And certain to be learned, destruction of my dress.

S prompts today🥸

Slight syncopation seen with such similar substantiated successions. Single sentences sanctify such sabbaticals stating specifically selected “S”s, as sublime, not surly.

Rory’s Garden Dawdler

Do you think it helps or hinders a writer from having a big ego? Maybe both?

How often do you read your blog content from an outsider’s perspective?
If I receive an interesting comment I do look back to understand how they interpreted what I wrote.

I view my blog as an allotment garden. How do you view yours?
A place to have fun and learn new things.

What’s the first book you ever remember reading way back when?
Black Beauty

Were you ever read to as a child, and by whom?
I don’t remember but probably my sister.

Where do you like to read? At home on the couch? Whilst travelling? In bed? Where?
I read blogs and emails, the news etc but I listen to audio books anywhere anytime. I’m addicted.😁

What are the most significant barriers to your creativity?
Probably knowledge but I do love researching words etc. I scribble and it’s hard for me to think of it as writing with a capital W.

Do you think blogging is essential, and if you do, why?
It’s been an essential since 2015. It started out as a way to take my mind off my health and kept me busy during recuperation.

There are many benefits to blogging; however, what are the three top downsides of blogging, in your opinion?
Very difficult poetry challenges, sifting through all the reblogs when I’ve already read the original, the whimsy and prolific disgusting ads on WP that interrupt poems and stories, etc.

Thanks again, Rory☺️
