Definitely the beach.

Get to Know You #38
Getting to Know You 38
W3 – Fantasy
She dreams
In greens
Laying there on
Soft mossy ground
The path taken
Through a mysterious door
A new direction of compass
Risk assumed
An odyssey…
A sweetness on her tongue
Tasting the cherished forest with
Magical trees
In her fairytale
She dreams to feel the green.

Red
But it’s the red I would choose
Golden orbs muted bright
Red autumn leaves take my sight.
Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Writer’s Choice*
dVerse Poets
It wasn’t in the least remote
Fortifying his response
Cigarettes and whiskey long
Even then he felt no shame
Putting her writing to the flame
Detective work can make you queasy
Falling for the guilty isn’t easy
Tried his best to not get involved
When it was done, and the crime solved
He found himself in his favorite bar
Where playing the blues was the star.

Fandango’s Story Starter
This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
As Paul flicked through the letters, a small, handwritten envelope caught his attention and his heart began to thump. “Oh, my god, it’s from my mother! This can’t be good. Let’s see”. Paul ripped open the envelope and recognizes his mother’s handwriting.
“To my dearest favorite son, Paul. I know you’re not ready to hear this, my dear, but facts are facts. I went to the doctor on Monday for my regular check up. You know how I’m faithful for my check ups, and I’ve had the same doctor for 25 years! When I went in on Monday, he did his regular exam and we found out that I have to have—are you sitting down, dear? A tumor removed and major spinal infusion. Now don’t get yourself all upset, it will be easily removed and then I probably, maybe, possibly, might, be paralyzed. Of course it’s a remote possibility, but I have to make plans just in case something does go wrong. Naturally, you were the first person I thought of.”
Paul read the note, put it down on the table, and then went to the cupboard and pulled out the whiskey and a very large glass.

Limerick Time
Joe thought his mind was extra wise
Overthinking not compromised
Joe thought his ideas deep
But sadly they made no leap
To practical persons enterprise.

Laughing Along With A Limerick
Simply Six Minutes
Here we see a happy place
No need for life’s busy race
I think it is the colors here
Promoting happiness, no fear
Homes all bright and cheery seen
Even the resting boats between
Have you ever seen or been
To a pleasant place that makes you grin
The vibrant shades of basic hues
However could you choose
A home to love, only one
And think you’re done?
