The Bag Lady

“There’s a lullaby for suffering” and songs written by Leonard Cohen always seem to have that sadness or grief in the background. Even “Dance me to the End of Love”, which sounds cheerful on the surface, suggests only a temporary state of happiness – dancing. His voice is perfect for pushing you into his melancholy words, whether reminding you of a personal experience or a happy ending. There are many versions of the song “Hallelujah”, but my favorite is sung by Jeff Buckley, and in my opinion, seems to impart the sad interpretation of Cohen’s lyrics.

Prosery, Leonard Cohen

Here are this week’s questions:

1. Have you ever been to an auction? Yes, it was fun.
2. Were you ever in a school play or concert? Yes, was not fun.
3.  In your working life, were you ever rewarded financially for your services apart from your salary? No, are you kidding? I was a lowly secretary.
4.  How are your feeling today? I’m about to have another ultrasound on my right leg I broke December 6 and then an INR and another visit to wound care.🙄So It’s the luck of the Irish for me!

Gratitude: I am grateful my daughter and granddaughter take me to my appointments and we squeeze in some love and humor through it🥰

Share Your World 17th March

Some people laughed, call her lazy

It happened picking a daisy

She injured her back

Even heard it crack

She just lays now ‘cause life’s hazy.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

It’s an off world where everyone is reeling from hearing and finding a needed string of their life – losing time while reading the news and particles of their mind disappear a bit at a time.

It’s a milestone for Di!

Let me tell you why

She picks a word times three

To challenge you and me.

Sometimes a story, sometimes a pic

You never know what will stick

But take up the pen or pencil you use

And give an answer, whatever you choose!

Weekend Writing Prompt #407 – Mandate

The definition I like most

Is the meaning of a wooden post

You know, the one defined by a garden gate

To lean upon while waiting for your date?

You might even end in mates?

I’m getting ahead of myself, but it’s late.

When it’s midnight and the moon is full

I can’t escape from my mind so dull

Medicines in a bowl

With a system I control

Upside down means they’re taken

Heaven knows I can’t be lacking

Two for thinning blood

One for blood pressure – good

So many others seems a glut

Doctors orders following I must

It seems unfair

I feel attacked

When a decade passed

And accidents lacked

Feeling put upon, no doubt

Trying not to freak out

Surgery ahead I don’t want

Will solve a problem that does haunt

After ten years thought I was fine

But now it seems I find

I’m in the elder age of decline.
