Weekend Writing Prompt #314 – Clockwork
“Hey, Harry, who’s idea was this photo shoot anyway? It’s not like we’re showing the product!”
“Well you look dapper enough, holding that cane; don’t worry about it.”
“Just a few more gentlemen” the photographer explained. “Remember not to smile, you’re supposed to be serious executives.”
“Talk about fancy, Joe, with that gold watch bob on your belt. Showing it off?” Jack liked to needle him. Joe was the youngest and smartest of the group and everyone knew it. It was Joe who had the original idea, and it turned out to be successful for all of them. The other three men invested in Joe’s idea, and he was thankful for their support.
The gentlemen posed for a few more and grew restless. Suddenly Joe said, “Okay, enough. The beer’s on me, boys.”

Here’s your prompt: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “left alone.”
Lays down, tries to sleep
How long are they going to keep
Away, and looks sadly at two food bowls
Water too and he starts the howls
Sounding like a sad lone wolf
Lays head back down and utters small woof
They say animals can’t tell time.

Helen’s career was not making any headway and she decided to say farewell to being an independent secretary from home. On a whim she decided to try out at a Las Vegas club dancer’s audition. Being devoid of any real talent, she did have a strong will, not to mention a strong neck. Therefore she adopted a heady attitude for the audition thinking how hard could it be, and she heard the money was really good. The debacle started when her huge headdress began to tip and she ended up sprawled in the producer’s lap. No need to wait for a call back.

farewell
You talking
Me just listening
Some religion, politics
Sharing the often veiled opinions
Leaves no black or blue with only words.

Old promises kept as he held her tight
Causing such an unusual sight
Who knew she could actually fly
Taking her blues ridden body high
She had prayed to drift over the ordinary spaces
She was suddenly caught up and held ever so slight
She wanted to leave the now saddened places
An angel of a man holding her, caused no fright
She was gladdened by the feel of a sudden swoop
Had her prayers been answered?
She dared to assume
Flying high to adventures beyond her thinking
Her melancholy mind no longer sinking
She reached up to cling to the savior there
Realizing there really was someone who cared.

W3 Prompt #57: Wea’ve Written Weekly
I had spilled a latte on my old iPad and it took two days for it to repair itself and work. This afternoon I was elated to see it was okay because it has many photos from when I first purchased it ages ago. I came upon this one of my now seventeen year old granddaughter and it shows her determination even though she’s always the smallest player in sports. Btw, this year she received the “Female Athlete of the Year” award at her high school.❤️👍🏻☺️
