Well look at that! You have captured the essence of fizgig like no other artist in the community!
Your superior talent is now displayed for all to see. Surely they will let you off the bench and participate in the gallery showings. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so good luck!

This prompt comes at a perfect time to celebrate a champion in my family. She turned 25 on Valentines Day and tomorrow she is going in to have screws removed from a hip operation done last year. This will be one of many hip operations she has had and will have. They have broken her pelvis and reset everything four times in the last few years. Her doctors say it is the most painful of all surgeries with a long recovery. I’ve written about her here before since she graduated from high school, attended college with a Boettcher Foundation scholarship, then her white coat ceremony, and now she’s completing more years of study to be a pediatrician. I cannot believe how strong she is! I am beyond proud!

Where is the wisdom needed to resolve these irreconcilable differences?

Always tried to be practical
Took everything as factual
Repairs were always radical
Hardly ever actable
My efforts were laughable
And always anticlimactical.

It seemed like an ordinary day, just dressing to grocery shop, take out the trash and even looked sunny! I opened the door. Cars parked, not unusual, the yard across the street with its odd shrubs and trees, but then I looked up. The gobbles were coming!

(When my oldest granddaughter hated being strapped in a car seat she would throw a screaming fit. Her dad stopped it by telling her to look out the window to the dark gray clouds, telling her they were the gobbles and if she wasn’t good…it only took a crack in her window and she’d settle down.)

Smokey vision shades
Outdone by your umbrella
Maudlin and morose
Suddenly taken aback
By the bright rainbow colors.

I am red.
I am the color of soft satin sheets of seduction.
I am the prominent color of a hot summer morning sunrise.
I am the beauty of a single perfect rose.
I am the red hot chili pepper spice in your food.
I am the mouthwatering sweet flesh of fresh fruits.
I am the six inch stilettos worn by a female impersonator.
I am the flame that burns too hot.
I am the dark sticky residue sprawled on the street after Jack the Ripper’s work.
