Can You Tell A Story In…

You may think that I am aloof
As I sit up over you on the roof

The Unicorn Challenge-13/06/25
I would like to be a person of folly
But lately I’m a bit melancholy
I dwell on photos of the past
When family gatherings would last
Now I hate to see them leave
But I don’t go so far as to grieve
Mostly I have a happy life
I can handle with humor most of the strife.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge -Melancholy.
I never want anything to fizzle
I love cooking steak or burgers that sizzle
Or anything that has a bit of fat

But standing so much threw my back for a loop!
I still like to see a finished dish
To serve at my family’s wish.

rain is waiting to drop in their heavy darkness
summer grass and crops enjoy this water bath
umbrellas decorate the streets of town
all creatures hide in the infrequent lightning
