Whenever I hear this prompt, I always think of “Hogan’s Heroes” and Sergeant Schultz:

Bored with television, eyes tired from screens or books? Then I recommend old radio shows like this one: Suspense! Sit back, close your eyes and enjoy.

If only this was the way the world of people saw each other, maybe we would all get along.

When she saw the huge bird fly onto the windowsill with its wriggling prey, she tried to put her mind somewhere else, thinking of a blue horizon and this horrid nightmare was only that, a black dream. But then it flew and settled next to her on the bed, and she was frozen to the spot, all the while not able to understand the grisly smile on her captor’s face. She was stranded and put her trust in a charming stranger. It was only the rough handling up a stairway and locking the door behind them when rampant fear overwhelmed her.

She watched the incomprehensible from stained bed sheets, where the indentations of the night before remained. She had been conquered but still alive, and the fear inside had not diminished. He stood in the corner observing her horror as the omophogus raven pulled at the rat’s flesh. She wondered if she would be the next victim of the vicious bird, and looked again at her captor. He seemed almost in a fascinated trance, watching the bird peck and pull at the rat.

She tensed at the thought and shivered as a cold wind blew in behind the raven. Reaching for a covering that was slung to the side the night before, she wrapped it around her, but was not warmed as the chilling sight continued. What else could he do, would he do, as the raven approached closer and brought a shriek of fear. She pulled the cover over her mouth to muffle her scream.

Now no time for play

Imaged fear keeps us at bay

Will it be the longest day

It’s not the satin gown

Or the black tie suit

Nor the adorning jewelry

Sparkling on your chest

Opera arias or blues played softly

It is the fragrance of a perfect petal

In a fresh green meadow.

Slept till eight, yea! Then looked at Google on my phone for the temperature.

The Monday peeve is for myself, even looking for a minute at such stupidity and hate mongering. What I looked at was this, (Jordan Klepper vs Trump supporters) and believe me, my advice is not to watch it. After a minute of seeing and hearing these people, deleted it.

I found it so sickening, disappointing, and frightening that these people might actually end up controlling our government, and of course some already are. How does this happen? People are not born to hate like this. Lately it seems I need to isolate myself from the Internet. It can’t get much worse than that video, can it? So. . .blocking that out.

Before this act of looking at the phone, I was contemplating a questionnaire for a blog post.

So reading this is not a total waste, here is a pic of my favorite spring flower-wish I could see them for real. They were blooming on the farm when I was a child, with a distinctive scent that meant summer was coming.

I know you’ve probably seen it, but every time I see these three words, it gives me a smile. A favorite of all my favorites, “The Princess Bride”. Watch it again, you won’t be sorry. So many good lines in this film, but I use this one: “think it’ll woik?”

And since we’re all stuck, probably watching something, here’s another I enjoyed watching just yesterday: “King Arthur, Legend of the Sword”, a different take, starring Jude Law and Charlie Hunan.

Oh genie come to me

I have a wish I want to see

The world in hope and salvation

Can you grant this incantation?

I only ask for one, not three

To abate and please me

Peace and love throughout

Will you, genie, please come out?

I’m looking in

Always feeling out

I want to join but cannot.

Why do you shut me out, lock the gate?

I am just like you, inside, I want to play.

My hair is not clean and combed, my clothes not the latest fad, my body needs a bath, but

That’s my outside.

Inside I’m just like you.
