What Day is it Anyway?

12:56am so it is Friday. I am too tired to watch anything, too restless to sleep, too uncomfortable so I should turn on the air conditioner even though my temp gauge says it’s 70 degrees, so here I am scribbling. I have things I need to do today, but I find I’m putting things off more and more. I only get inspired to do something ambitious about once a week it seems. They called from paratransit and said bus rides are free, but where would I go? I’m not anxious to be anywhere in a group much less a bus. So, my dilemma. Maybe I need bubble wrap.

Fandango’s Friday Flashback

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt – Colours – 8-21-17

***

“Black is the color of my true love’s hair”

Sharing a moment together there

He offered the song to sing of her locks

As they reclined in a field of blue phlox

His brown eyes invited the miss

Her red lips beckoned his kiss

Embrace with green underlying

While indigo birds up above were flying

The orange sun warmed their skin

Fervent feelings did begin

Her violet eyes grew very dark

As passion created a yellow spark.

Fandango’s Friday Flashback — August 21

#writephoto – We see the moon and…

Riding high, seen aloof,

Crescent shaped in a blue roof

Above us all, looking down

On we creatures locked on ground

Never worry, you can stay

Way up there, we will still love

To look upon you in nights’ eve

Lying under a blackened tree

We don’t mind your peeking through

Waiting for our gaze on you

While under silhouetted branches

We play at our love dances.

FOWC: Classify

I wonder, please, if you would, classify– I think I misunderstood, your meaning when you wore the MAGA hat, yelling about the years that, Obama was in office there, yes reelected for us to share, in his wisdom, grace and speech, asking for us to beseech, the power we have to lift others up, sharing a kindness cup, and now it’s been four years of hell, watching as the lies you tell, believed by many ne-er do wells, and all the hate that you have spread, why the MAGA hat was on your head?

FOWC with Fandango — Classify

Fruitless Mystery

There is no fruit so mysterious

As one that drives you to delirium

Expensive whether little or big

I have yet to know the trick

It should feel firm and not too soft

Otherwise it may be “off”

It entices with its flavor

And when it’s ripe, it’s yours to savor

It likes to appear forbidden

Keeping every delight hidden

Until you give it a slight feel

Think it’s ripe and time to peel

You start to drool, reveal each inch

The dark green off, teeth start to clench

The light green you looked forward to

Is now mostly black in hue

Who knows the secret of this fruit

That hides behind the dark green suit?
