The Bag Lady

An empty office where I used to sit

I have been declared unfit

So many things I wish I’d done

I wasn’t the strongest one.

Calamity was not my style

Although some in the later while

I tried. I really did

Some my predecessor’s rid

But not enough, I apologize

I thought I was more wise

I struggled with my defeat

Now the Constitution lays under our feet

Trampled, ripped and sadly seen

You need to fight, try to glean

The valiant order hidden, now revealed

Democracy protectors please work til we’re healed.

W3 Prompt #153: Wea’ve Written Weekly

The worm left the warm dirt vault that was his home, and peeked out. He never quibbled about spring because he loved to dunk in new soil added to his lair, but was suddenly grabbed for bait from the dreamed mirage.

Can You Tell A Story In…

So, what of April in this cold winter clime

Stroll undaunted seeing the smallest buds

Trees fighting the snow showers to peek through and blossom

Only to be frozen in place, dry and dying

Such a disappointing effort, but do we cry,

Harp against Mother Nature for her trickster ways?

No, because in this area of very short springs and summers

We still search for the crocus blade, and celebrate an occasional hardy daffodil.

Before when I used to wonder nervously and brood about my pale skin, feeling inadequate as everyone eyed the warm honey colored bodies on the beach, little did I know at the time, the beginning days of summer they were mostly spray tanned from a far away secreted salon. My goodness, I thought, being happy in the sun could be helped and enjoyed with a little can of paint!

MLMM Wordle #418

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Can you remember your first camera? I never had one. My husband’s first was a “Brownie”.
2.  Can you remember when you had your first mobile phone? 2012
3.  Can you remember your first car. If you don’t drive, can you remember your parents car? The car I learned to drive with was a pea green Volkswagen.
4.  What was your first job as an adult? On my 18th birthday I became an employee of USACRREL

Gratitude: As always I am grateful for my family’s love and support.

Share your World 31st March

Well my family thinks I will live forever, what a horrible thought – a raisined old woman lying around in a corner, occasionally dusted off, requiring no sustenance. Their determination is a result of my dying twice in hospitals. Now I just consulted a surgeon to repair an operation I had in 2015. Apparently he fitted the “ surgeon personality” well because he was a hurried advice giver, basically refusing to do a new op on me. He barely listened and interrupted my answers, deciding I am too fragile ( just because I am wheelchair bound!🙄😳) to withstand the op. My guess he doesn’t want to be blamed if I fail. I thought he was just being informative, but my family said he was an ass——! After getting upset on the drive home, I realized they were right. But, hey, I’m immortal, so will consult a different doc.

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts – April 3, 2025

There once was a man named Magill

Enjoyed some friends with his still

The cops found them all

Arrested the haul

Now he’s left in a cell to chill.
