Cyranny’s 1MinFic

Oh my whiskers! It’s that time again. They put up this tree and then drown it in hot lights, glass balls and tinsel! Ever taken a bite of that tinsel? Yech! And remember the time I tried playing with the lights and burned my paw? Or thought those glass balls were put there just for me to play with? Yup, you got it, they break! These people have no respect, no respect at all.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

Proudly prancing in a park
Pristine iridescence sparks
As sunlight reveals beauty displayed
Pavonine creatures come out to play.
Strutting confidently in the grass
Noticeable visions as they pass
Colorful patterns seen many ways
Pavonine creatures come out to play.
Sometimes on their leisurely round
They utter a unique sound
Rivaling violin’s strings andante
Pavonine creatures come out to play.
If you are lucky you might see
A show of prowess all feathery
Magnificent creatures, they
Pavonines come out to play.

MLMM Saturday Mix

***

You can raise or lower your expectations

As you think about your invitations

To all the holiday events and fun

You can choose to celebrate

A new year or mourn the old one

But every year includes some redemption

Be mindful of each of those exceptions.

SoCS – Opposites

***

Well good morning and who woke up at four and is just now having coffee at five? Me🙄 It’s a balmy 9F degrees and snowing. It’s still pitch black but the snow lit up my room last night. The fam is in Rock Springs at a basketball tournament – it’s 12F degrees there but not snowing yet. I hope the roads are clear and they don’t get stuck like last weekend with 100+ mph winds and roads closed.

My granddaughter is a freshman but gets to play because she is one of those “naturals” in athletics. People always say she’s a natural but it’s dedication, hard work and practice. She has either been watching or playing since three years old, and loves it.

This is stream of consciousness so there you have my stream this cold early Saturday. Opposites—well let me think…the opposite of having cold feet is these thick warm slipper socks😂 and a good amount of practice, practice, practice.

Hope and Belief

Joey always chose to believe; he believed in many things—Santa Claus dressed in crimson with sparkling eyes, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, and fairytales. He hoped the magical bunny would bring a solid chocolate egg, but was not disappointed to find it hollow. He consistently woke to find a shiny new coin under his pillow after losing a tooth. Every year he hung his patiently decorated stocking near the fireplace and added a new small decoration to the Christmas tree to recognize a new year coming.

Ever looking on the bright side—his mind was a suitcase of wonderment. After his mother kissed him goodnight, his nocturnal choice was observing starry constellations and remembering stories he had been told of their creation.

Joey was an optimist, never professing dismay if what he envisioned did not come true. He was always hopeful some day it might.
