steadying the wand
saying the words like “hocus”
focused her aim saying “pocus!”
It was really hard putting these words into haiku form😵💫

Yeah, they call me a beatnik
I don’t really care
I won’t ever be like them…square
I have thoughts you know
About the earth and it’s care
I have tried to expand my mind
With whatever is there
My friends understand me
We all live together
We keep to ourselves and they call us a cult
We just want to survive and figure it out
War and protests, rights for all people
Don’t need to be in a place under some steeple
We respect your space and you should ours
As we speak our poetry in clubs in late hours
We just want peace, to travel around
Spread the word that the world isn’t sound
So call me a beatnik, whatever you choose
But respect the concepts, we have new ideas and views.

A track of tears detected
Emotions shown, and unexpected
Surprised at his show of feelings
Unraveling so, she found it appealing
No bravado in his manner
No manly, macho banter
A simple “sorry” softly spoken,
Wreathed, then enclosed her heart
It was, real love.

Vermont Autumn
The season is autumn where every flower’s leaf eventually falls to the earth, providing sustenance in wait for spring. This is the second time of year when the breeze is filled with scents to envelop your being, turn your mind to childhood days when a crisp apple was ready to pick and munch. The air is full of the orchard fruit, cider, and promise. The first of the year’s scents come in spring when the smell of maple from sugaring bins boils into syrup.

3TC – Information Age(ing)
“You always let your emotions get the better of you”. If I had a nickel for every time I heard that—wait, you better make that a dollar…you know, inflation?
If I’m feeling sorrow or anger, you’re going to know it. My feelings go straight to my face and even if they don’t, they’ll be coming out of my mouth.
The only thing sad about it is some of my curiosity’s waning. I always thought curiosity was a good thing. You can learn a lot if you’re curious. But now all you have to do is open your phone, turn on your TV, or open your computer and you are completely inundated. And not in a good way.
Spam and junk emails, texts, advertisements and horrible political ads invade us every minute of the day. And no one seems to know how to get rid of it or stop it.
So I think I’ll keep my curiosity because I like to learn “stuff”. I like to read about “stuff”. I like to research “stuff” and if you’re not curious, you don’t do that. You take all of that crap that they’re putting out as facts, which it is not.

Fandango’s Story Starter
SHE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO GIVE HER A LONG, DEEP KISS, BUT SHE WAS SURPRISED WHEN HE…suddenly whipped off his moustache, ripped off his toupee, letting long black hair down and revealed he was a woman. Oh oh!

SYW Questions 10-4-22
Favourite horror or Halloween-themed song? Or a song you rarely hear except around a holiday. “The Monster Mash”😵💫
Do you ever see figures in your peripheral vision? Yes.🫣
Which urban legend scares you the most? (most countries have such stories – share yours if you would like to) I think some “legends” may be true😳
You’re home alone but you hear footsteps in your house, what do you do? This actually happened to me at my other apartment building. A young man came into my apartment, all dark and started talking to his (friend) saying man, you’ve really changed things in here, etc and then suddenly realized he was in the wrong apartment. I was not scared and he was so embarrassed that he left quickly apologizing. I had stayed in my bedroom and laughed when he left. I had the maintenance men check my lock the next morning.
GRATITUDE SECTION: I am grateful for my health, cooler weather—I love cuddling up in clothing—and always my family. My middle son is 53 today, living in France and I miss him so much. He was always so fun to be around, started working at 15 and steady on till three years ago when he and his wife wanted to get off the treadmill and be farmers in France. I’m very proud of them❤️
