Weekend Writing Prompt #414 – Periwinkle
Walking in snow hidden
slippery black ice
Snow melts into mush, travel is dangerous
Rain constant so planting delayed or
uprooted plants sit in a flooded garden
Snow covers the plantings
Tree limbs full of buds
while lilies bloom, hyacinths and
red paintbrush make flag scenery complete
Bright flowers appear, warmed soil eager, refreshed
Sun’s heat helps growth for garden yield
Frost curled leaves, their colors faded
Chilled flowers remain
A few broken stems triumphant but sleet is too powerful
not giving in to the cold
while winds still freezing start the cycle again where I’m walking.

W3 Prompt #157: Wea’ve Written Weekly
I kinda sorta lost my cool, as it might be described, or a rant, possibly a sign of mental illness? I have an ongoing medical problem and it has become an all consuming nightmare the last year. In fact I would say that starting in March 2024 when I broke a leg, my health started sliding down fast. I kept my sense of humor, and I’m lucky to have it…but a few days ago I kinda sorta had a meltdown. Luckily I live by myself so any “special” words that were loudly said, was all to myself. A small outburst of frustration soothed the soul for a while, hopefully for another year.

Kinda Sorta
I prefer in store, but it’s delivery from online usually.
I like both but mystery the winner.
Again, I like both, but the books are always better.

Get to Know You #63
Singing is about the only thing we are not doing. We are dancing around with graduation, baby shower, three year old birthday, food, decorating and soccer, prom, a homecoming and what else I don’t know…so it’s a busy month!

The chairman of the museum said, “This book of memoirs is gobbledygook. It’s definitely not a sale item.”
Can You Tell A Story In…
Daily Post
They say that with age
Thinking turns more sage
But I have to disagree
At least pertaining to me
Sure I may be wiser
Think I’m an advisor
But memory I find
Is hardly kind.
Take these prompts for example
Their existence is ample
But I’m always behind
Or is it just my mind?
Seems very troubling
They seem to be doubling
Or is it just me
Early senility?
I use the term comically
But it’s anatomically
Correct, unfortunately
I am a senior, importunately
So bear with me please
Hope with age, it may ease.
