It’s Jack-o’-lanterns…
Perched on porches
Staring from steps
Grinning from garages
Sinister on swings
Frightening on fences
Leering from lawns
Creeping from clematis
Jeering from jasmine
Eerie from evergreens
Harrowing from hydrangeas

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #352
The intermediate news moderators try to come between political debaters, ask questions, and stay calm through rants and long winded speeches. This usually fails so they installed mute buttons on the microphones. Even that failed when the debaters refused to obey simple rules. Have you watched them? What do you think? Did you learn anything?🧐🙄

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts – October 15, 2024
I like getting up to sunshine, but as I age, any sleep I can get is appreciated.
When I was a child I saw the movie “Fall of the House of Usher” and it still gives me the creeps these days!
Any candy is fun and I wonder how much of it is stored for the next year. Tons of packaging with Halloween motif but it’s still the regular candy. And Christmas decorations are already up. Forget about Thanksgiving turkey shaped candy… ever wonder what happens to all oft this stuff?😳

I think Cole Porter wrote it best:
Writing Prompts
This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
They’d only been apart for a week and Cliff already had a new woman hanging off his arm. Julie shrugged. She hoped the new woman would realize sooner than she did that he was a misogynistic bore.

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Blushed
He barreled through
His strength replete
The enemy bested
He made their defeat.
Soldiers, knights of the realm
Victory found in their helm
The righteous guardians won
Peace will show in morning sun.
Victorious he set another goal
Determined then to return whole
Hiding wounds secreted in his soul
Where battle fatigue took its toll
Always fighting, engaging that role.
Now he wants a peaceful time
Resting his armor by his side
After combat, war and strife
Time to start another life.
