Speaking of mood, my favorite song to dance to is “In the Mood”. I used to drag my husband from his group of men, (women didn’t know anything about the world of course) at parties and we would jitterbug. I probably lost a few of you with that😄. However, today I am in the no WiFi or electricity mood because the wind here is ruining everything with gusts of 100 mph and regular 50-70 that is going on for days.💨🌬️

dips and cracks and slippery stones

dangerous steps, don’t go alone

think of all sailors young and sweet

rested these shores, under their feet

bathed in salty waves coming fast

the stories they tell of their past

we collect the colorful orbs

history we fail to absorb

mighty drifts of sea’s salt and sand

shape stories of rocky shore lands

Open Link Night #403 with Live Edition

The Spider caressed his moustache, spying the gilded mirror above the banquette. He enjoyed living up to his villainous name, tonight included. He held the poisoned tabasco sauce and poured an invisible bit onto the spiced meat dish he knew she loved. No doubt she would call for a nurse, but too late. He would pretend upset in the windmill of chaos that ensued.

Cinquain Poetry Prompt 43: REBEL is your inspiration.

Carrie looked up to see her painting on display. She smiled as she gave her husband a hug. Her hard work was coming to fruition as she proudly eyed her artwork. The cafe was an off broadway location for actors to enjoy themselves after a night of theater. The locals knew to leave them alone after the theater closed, but even then, the restaurant’s popularity was growing. Soon it would not be the safe haven for the celebrities. The cozy atmosphere and colorful decor was inviting, and Carrie was overjoyed to see her contribution displayed along with well known artists.

softly set

butterfly wings drop

fluttering

dripping life

sunny flights are now over

soaring done

sunset hues persist

trees provide gosling safety

winter chills approach

in smoky mountain ranges

soon geese will head to new home

#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 55, Ekphrastic Poetry, 3/10/26

She ran her hand beneath the park bench and sure enough, just as he said, she felt the envelope secured there by tape. Sara was so excited she could barely open the note! Her fingers fumbled and then before she opened the paper to read, she sighed at the thought of her soon to be husband, Jim. He was everything she always wanted! Sara opened the paper to read: “I’m sorry, Sara, but I’ve decided to join the French Foreign Legion. I left this morning at nine.” Sara fainted.
