She wore them only twice
Now they’re stuffed and looking nice
Those societal days are over
Dances now only in clover
Barefoot is the way to choose
No shoes required, so let them loose
Shoes just squish the toes you see
Now they are free, dance easily
Stuffy shoes for stuffy people
She’d rather trip in scented tepals.

She did it well
Her juggling act
They thought it swell
Until walking back
All was going according to her plan
When someone in back turned on the fan
The balls start falling in reverse
Julie was acting quite perverse
The orbs descended on the crowd
Causing frightened screams aloud
Juggling Julie tried hard to recover
But her stage presence was now over.
Act – Word of the Day Challenge

Is a silent scream
Emitted from severed wings’
Loss of one feather

It’s a weird day, woke up feeling sad about things I can’t do anything about, got into the shower and what really made my day was a Snapchat from my granddaughter, who will be 21 next month. She is a special one and uses the snap chat expertly. It was a great pick me up and sometimes that’s all it takes for me to set about on a positive note.
Then Murphy visits, dropping the (stuck to the wall with those white sticky things) battery operated clock straight into the sink. Water running at the time of course, and one of the batteries falls out into the disposal. Lucky that wasn’t running also! I suppose it might have created an arc of some sort linking to the running water and my hand and therefore electrocuting me. . .oh well, not a bad way to go, it’s quick. But think of the mystery involved. . .how did I die with no outlets nearby? Would anyone think to check the disposal unit? Surely the unit would stop running eventually? I feel a mystery novel coming on–JK. Because the clock ended up in the sink, the faucet pouring and splashing on my just dressed outfit, it caused a minor glitch in my morning. It is now 12:01 and I’m on to less stressful activities such as laundry. Take that, Murphy!
A 1970 movie I recommend, starring Jack Lemon and Sandy Dennis–not the remake . “The Out of Towners”. Neil Simon was the greatest for this type of comedy.
Good day! It’s time for Linda’s Stream of Consciousness post again and the Prompt is critic. I think every one of us is a critic as we choose which items to read, see, or listen. Last night I heard a new song and I would critique it as beautiful! This reminds me of a young Joe Cocker. What is your critical view?
A quiet girl–studious would be a compliment. Never revealing her secret self, the superhero hidden. Wonder Woman.

Hardly anyone realized how important he was. That is, unless they went up on the ridge and looked down to see this. A mysterious monument to him, by an unnamed sculptor. Only those who shared the civil rights movement in 1966 know what this roughly hewn stone means. He was a leader, a protestor, a visionary. The brave souls who fought along side him knew how powerful he could be. This monument is a secret tribute to him, and the movement. No one knows, fifty years later, if he is still alive or where he is, but they are still in awe of his influence.
Thank you, Cyranny, for giving me the opportunity to give this award to a blogger I admire: . https://bereavedsingledad.blog/author/bereavedandbeingasingleparent/.

There are many bloggers here that deserve this award. I am just highlighting one!☺️💜
Rory, that old questionable guy, uh, I mean –
https://aguycalledbloke.blog – the man with the questions? He asked yesterday how often we update our About page and I found my 2017 was still here.
Here’s my update:
Now four years cancer free and on no meds is a cause for celebration! I have more readers on WP and met many more bloggers from this world we share and that’s also a great thing! More housebound than last year, with long winters here in WY so I’m feeling cabin fever, can’t wait for spring!
I’m still exploring writing and loving it, with a few dry spells mixed in. I’m always amazed at people who find my scribbles worth reading but I appreciate each one and your comments. Thank you! ♡♡♡♡
