Netflix has a series of documentary named Web of Make Believe: Death, Lies and the Internet. It’s eye opening, at least for me and every time I open my phone I think of it. The last episode I watched was 5- Stingray. “From counterfeit Beanie Babies to very real tax fraud: Two skilled hackers revisit the cyber schemes that landed them in the sights of law enforcement.” One of the the main “characters” admits to his crimes and is sometimes actually quite funny in his reports.

There is no waver when it comes to the presidential clown’s exercise to avoid the law of the republic. He takes no responsibility for the hole he has created during his term in office.

This week’s prompt is: Secrets, Hiding Places and Niches You can either free write using these questions as inspiration or answer the question as they are.

1. Did you keep a diary or a journal? If so, where did you keep it?
2. Did you have treasures or money you hid from siblings or parents?
3. Did you have a need to hide things your parents would not approve of, like cigarettes, etc.?
4. Thinking back, describe your most creative hiding place.
5. Did you have a tin box or safe or a diary with a lock?
6. What about yourself? Did you ever have a favorite get away spot or hiding place?
7. If you did not feel the need to hide away, where did you go for a little alone time?
8. If you had siblings, did they hide things from you? If so, what types of things?
9. Now that you are an adult, do you still have little niches where you hide things away, like mad money, treasured letters, etc?
10. When you feel the need to be alone, to where do you retreat ***

This is a strange one for me because I do not remember hiding anything or writing a diary etc. I would go out on my swing and stay there for periods of time but never really hid away. I think strict parents were probably the reason. I never wanted to cause a problem because there were problems enough for them to deal with already. Now that I live alone as a widow I don’t feel the need to be in hiding or need alone time, I have plenty. I do have some letters I have packed away in an envelope marked private but if I thought I was dying I would get rid of them. When you are older and disabled you really have no privacy.

Back in the day, my little kids asking to visit Baskin Robins for ice cream, my favorite was mocha almond fudge. Yesterday I was looking for some treat and found this:

You should use the word in the title of this post as your inspiration as either a theme of the Sijo or in the poem itself. There are:

Three Lines

14-16 syllables per line

A total of 44-46 syllables for the entire poem.

Work

Writing may be considered work, and sometimes it is certain

Expressing yourself in any form exploits your views, may cause distress

Accepting other’s opinions, is good communication

Flower: [about two birds fluttering around] Well! What’s the matter with them? 

Thumper: Why are they acting that way? 

Friend Owl: Why, don’t you know? They’re twitterpated. 

Flower , Thumper , Bambi: Twitterpated? 

Friend Owl: Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: you’re walking along, minding your own business. You’re looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden, you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head’s in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather; and before you know it, you’re walking on air. And then you know what? You’re knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head! 

Thumper: Gosh. That’s awful.
