Among the rot and ruin, leftover bits of a dissatisfied world, may we see a spot where hope and salvation remind us we can overcome? Each bright yellow petal beckons us to see the beauty, not the refuse. The orange hues in the center envision promises of more lovely efforts to come. We just need to realize a better future, and work to achieve it.

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – April 8, 2025
“Enchant me with your charms
As I lay here in your arms –
think we’re in an eerie forest
where I’ve saved you from harm.”
Whispering words into his ear
encircling his neck so dear
the magic snakes he feared
were only in his mind.

Quadrille #221: Some Enchanted Poem
Sylvia walks into the reception, trying to act remorseful, a deception.
“Oh, my dear Helen, I’m so sorry for your loss…a great man, and of course who you were lucky to score, all of us in the sorority had our eyes on Franklin, or “F— Frank” mostly said more…
Oh my, I didn’t mean to say that…oh Helen, forgive me. It just slipped out of my head!”
“Oh Sylvia, I know you, saying an intentional rude remark about my husband who actually said
that your sorority Kappa Kerfuffle was known for its…
what word shall I use, Sylvia? I’m sure you’ve heard, big fun —-?”
“Well, I never!” And Sylvia walked out.
Helen tried to hide her smirk with a pout.

Share Your World 7th April 2025
Joe had his game face on. From the bedroom he could see the kids sitting patiently at the dining table. He decided to ride their big dog Hairy, a wolfhound, into the room, acting crazy as he rode close to the kids and jumped off. Joe was always trying to make the kids laugh, and finished off his piece of comedy by grabbing a sugar cube off the table and tossing the piece to Hairy. Joe’s wife acted as an assistant to Joe in true show fashion, waved her arms in a flourish and helped Joe climb back on Hairy and return to the bedroom. The show was over and all the kids clapped in delight.

There once was a guy with eight limbs
Some people thought “ew” it was grim
The rest’s rated “R”
Wherever you are
His wife loved every arm on him.

Laughing Along With A Limerick
They looked forward for days
Window shopped always
But the pet shop lies
Hear my children‘s cries
Easy to care for he said
You’ll have fun he said
They love the frog, but not the dead flies.

Three Things Challenge #MM21
Quotes I use are usually funny movie lines. Even a serious book has to have something humorous to keep me reading. Right now I am rereading one of the Joe Ledger series by Jonathan Maberry, “Patient Zero”. Joe is all you’d want in a hero but also funny. This is an excerpt of his conversation he has in his first meeting his boss, Mr. Church:
Movie quotes such as “I feel the need, the need for speed”, – you know this one…” bye, Felicia”, “There’s no cry in baseball” “You can’t handle the truth”to name a few we use in our family. I have used the “Blues Brothers” quotes a few times here on my blog. I guess I like the murmuring.
