Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Writing of a chore is appropriate for me today. I was just sitting down to eat a meals on wheels meal (turkey pasta salad, beets, sweet potato roll, and grapes)—don’t ask me how they come up with some of these meals, but…I dropped the plate and what a chore to clean it up. Thankfully no liquid there. I vacuumed and mopped—fun times!

dVerse Poets Poetics

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Dear Poets, the challenge today is to choose a musical artist, song, or genre of music and write a poem inspired by it or them.

Truly Madly Deeply

when I thought I was in love
listening to this album repeatedly
simple words exactly speak my feelings for the man
easily expressed emotions written in a “rock” song fuel romantic fantasies

Lyrics/Songwriters: Daniel Jones / Darren Hayes ( Savage Garden)

I’ll be your dream, I’ll be your wish, I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope, I’ll be your love, be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong, I will be faithful ’cause I’m counting on
A new beginnin’
A reason for livin’
A deeper meaning, yeah

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I’ll make a wish, send it to heaven and make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty
That we’re surrounded by the comfort and protection
Of the highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you

An’ I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Oh, can you see it, baby?
You don’t have to close your eyes
It’s standin’ right before you
All that you need will surely come

Ooh, yeah

I’ll be your dream, I’ll be your wish, I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope, I’ll be your love, be everything that you need
I’ll love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Fandango’s Story Starter

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

This week’s Story Starter teaser is: As she approached him, he dropped the gun on the sofa and told her he didn’t do it. “I know,” she said.

Joe was not the type to advocate violence. He didn’t even know how to load that gun with bullets. His wife on the other hand was an Army vet and knew more than she wanted to about guns and the damage they do.

Joe sunk down in the chair and said, “I just wanted to scare him away.” And that’s what he did…scare him, to death. The man lying in Joe’s driveway had a heart attack after seeing Joe come out of the house with the gun. The weakened health stranger was looking for help to change a flat tire.

Simply Six Minutes

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
June had been here before. As a visiting and hospice nurse she came to many areas like this—overgrown, unattended, and it was usually a case of the owner being in a home by themselves. Mostly they were the elderly who refused to leave, wanting to die in their own home, and June did not blame them. An extended hospital stay hooked up to a machine, IVs, etc in a strange place was hardly ideal. But neither was dying alone and that’s where June came in. Being this type of nurse she was able to adjust her schedule to be there when they needed her most. She hesitated at the steps, steeling herself for this patient’s last day.
