Smoke fills my lungs

One last long pull into my chest

No need to exhale fully

I want to fill my blackened lungs

Complete the deadly encounter

Nothing can save me, I don’t want to be saved

I want to drift away like the curling smoke above my lips

It has not been an easy death, but one I chose.

She watched him run away. The knife by his side glinting in the moonlight. Her heart still jumping in her chest. She turned to the dog, loudly barking, and said a prayer of thanks. Even though she felt safe now, her body continued to shiver.

I enjoy this prompt because it’s sort of free, you can do what you want, no rules. I love the no rules option! Anything to keep you upbeat on this interminably long month. As I look into my bank statement, being paid the second Wednesday of the month, yikes! It is loooonnngggg!

I see television is the prompt and thought immediately, I’m going to offend someone with my take, but hey, nothing new. . .warning–delete now!

My mother was a very religious person. It’s only since she passed that I engage in gutter talk or humor, but I was restricted as a child, at least that’s part of my excuse. The other is hanging out and working with ordinary people and teenagers. I digress. She didn’t drive, rarely went to church because my dad wouldn’t go. Her philosophy which I believe also, is you can talk to any “supreme spirit?” anywhere, anytime, if that’s your choice.

She watched Kenneth Copeland on TV and sent money to him. I’m not saying he wasn’t a charismatic preacher to her, but as in my Temple post about building fancy religious structures from the alms given by people who go home to poverty and hunger, I just think it’s exploitative and disturbing.

Have you seen how much money, tax write offs, property, homes, wardrobes, etc of these so called ministers of faith? It’s a pet peeve of mine. Televangelists? We don’t need them but their television channel exposure keeps increasing, as do their coffers.

I haven’t been struck down by lightning yet.

Black lock of hair dangling over blue eyes

Lithe lean legs

Covered in close fitting black leather

Silver zippered lines shine on the jacket

Housing a dangerous heart

He sits astride the death toned vehicle

Made famous by rock and roll legends

Wild rider.

Two vultures perched over the graveyard seemed disgruntled at the scarce availability of rodents. They were late to the party. Previously in the early morning shade of their tree, an owl had sat through the night. This early bird made short work of the mouse population scurrying through the graveyard path.

Up and at em

Bite the bullet

Times a-wasting

Move it or lose it

Get off your duff

Shake a leg

Get this show on the road

Razzle dazzle people!

The picture dims with age

Faded images of times gone by

Shades of black and white of a former colorful world

Looking back you remember the good times

The anticipation, hope, dreams of the future

Now looked upon in indistinct memories on celluloid.

“Yes, we are a well established community. Everyone welcomed here in Mushroom Acres, established in the first century. Old? Yes, but ever changing, seasonal renewal, you name it, we keep up with the times!”

“Now this little number comes with additional rooms for your family, team, or community gathering. We welcome diversity, even as the outside of the homes seem similar, the inner workings of the residences are all up to you. All decor is permitted. Now when would you like to move in?”

My sister living in Vermont swears there were fairies in the woods outside her home. Of course I agree.🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻‍♀️

Tiny dancing lights

Fairy wings’ glimmering shine

Rare gift of nature

Snow sparkles add to the scene

Sun glows with tiny creatures
