The Sunday Whirl

Unfurl all the glittering confetti streamers, scatter them to the wind and and let them speak a voracious sign that we are celebrating! Our sore minds have been split into grim decks, leaving most of our hearts on the ground like a pile of empties. We need to band together, crumble grim thoughts and enjoy the here and now. Ask a child how their day is going and join them in their delight of something new to them.

Promises

Arrived, sealed in red. The wax promises a secret message. The chosen color promises passionate words within. Anticipation builds as she cracks the seal. A promise of a meeting. “Bring your portmanteau.”

Poetry Challenge – Puzzle

I love a good puzzle, don’t get me wrong

It keeps my mind healthy and hopefully strong

The largest puzzle I have ever seen

Is the destruction of a utopian dream

Why do we always shoot ourselves in the foot

Why keep anxiety inside, remain moot

I blame it on parents, especially those older

Blindly accepting and not questioning bolder.

This is my first attempt at this challenge and find I had trouble keeping it to 60 words, but hope it’s acceptable. Thanks!

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

Wouldn’t it be funny; wouldn’t it be sad, if Trump and brainwashed minions decided to outsmart all of us? You know…US? The supposedly enlightened, liberal community that believes in our forefather’s ideas that made them risk their lives to come to a foreign piece of land across a treacherous body of water, to try to build a more equitable life for themselves and their families? What if his projected stupid behavior is actually a ploy, a secret strategy to follow in the likes of Adolph Hitler, and we have blinders on thinking, of course— “never happen!”

Fandango’s Flashback Friday

Picture Prompt-9 – 12-13-16

The quietness of the ripples, the colors of the sunset

Serenity lingers here in quiet conversation

A father and son, hushed by the stillness of the water.

Daily Affection

Joe did the usual sweep of the showroom, making the old place optimal as a storefront could be. He would banish every cobweb, polish every tarnished silver item that the dampness created. The antique shop was his late wife’s creation and now it was Joe’s haven of memories of her.
