The Bag Lady

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Do you prefer to sit in an armchair or curl up on a couch in the evening? I’m in a wheelchair 90% of my waking hours, then recliner for a movie maybe.

2.  What was the last book you read? The last book I read was “Cave 13” by Jonathan Maberry. Just started T J Klune’s “Somewhere Beyond the Sea”.

3.  What snacks do you enjoy?All the worst ones, chips, cookies etc, but usually now it’s veggies and fruit.

4.  Do you prefer vegetables over fruit? I love both but veggies probably every day a love.

Gratitude: I am grateful an old woman who lived in this complex moved to assisted living where she can get the care she needs. It was a big change but she’s getting used to it. And always, family.

Joe only wished he had a chance
But Sue never offered a glance
One stare at his clothes
Jeans ripped in wide rows
And said, “not if you wear those pants!”

Joe knew that it was his last chance
If he wanted Sue at the dance
He got down on one knee
With a smile and a plea
Sue said yes with a grinning glance.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

Cool mornings, pleasant evening chills, all enjoyed by a warm bonfire. Maple trees are the stars of autumn’s beginning, a short vision, and then we watch children dance in leaf piles.

equal nights and days

colored leaves display

autumn’s not here to stay

it is mother nature’s way

Haibun Monday 9-25-23: Equinox

A penny for your thoughts he said, as if he had no clue

He invited company, and I wasn’t in the mood

For years I’ve been baking treats, a birthday cake or two

Even cooked a roast and short ribs, by the slew

My husband brags over my abilities, so true

I wish he’d hire someone else to stand over a hot stew.

Each tiny kernel shows

Ornamental corn growth

Such intricate designs

Mother Nature takes her time

Choosing colors so sublime

See the beauty of a rhyme

In a harvest.

I think she has it all figured out

She never comments with a pout

Her consistent efforts are without

Rancor or criticism, and there’s no doubt

She’s a very nice lady we need to thank

So many followers show how she ranks

As an outstanding blogger!

Among my people and of course you know, I have the best people, I met John Furtado in the third grade. Our fathers were both rich so we played around a lot and I admit at this juncture in my campaign…because you know I’m so far ahead in the polls I can afford to be honest…now don’t laugh, you know I’m always honest…John and I made paper kites and uh well, we uh, used them to fly up girls’ skirts…hahaha…nowadays that would be called sexual harassment.., hahahaha.

OLWG# 384- Peace in the East

The woman staggered out of her car after the wreck she caused while fixing her hair yelling, “I look a wreck!” in the rear view mirror and ran her car up on the curb. The police came, put her in handcuffs and said, “well you’ve wrecked your car, it’s not going to drive now.” Another policeman came up and said, you’ve also wrecked the stop sign! That will be a charge of (w)reckless driving at least, maybe even jail time.” Suddenly her husband came to the scene and reprimanded his wife, “another wreck, you’ll lose your license now.” The woman started crying, mumbling, “this accident will be the last straw and wreck my marriage”.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!

Greetings, everyone!

Am sure every one of us has at some point familiarized themselves with colour associations and comparison, in our daily lives as well as our literary ventures. One of the most famous ones is ‘feeling blue’.

This week, for Sunday confessionals, I would like you to do your own exploration on what ‘feeling blue’ reads and looks like. Explore it from a known perspective created by yourself, explore its unconventional meaning, assign it a new one or pick another colour entirely and create about ‘feeling red’ or ‘feeling purple’ or any colour.

“Deliberation” by Mario Sanchez Nevada

Colors surround us every day, some darken or lighten our mood. This woman is in extreme blue because she is in pain, both mental and physical. Her body in red and yellow patches tries to stay calm, but her head is pounding, and she’s sobbing. Green blues are an attempt at soothing, surrounding her in peaceful hues. She tries to shield herself from the strong black spikes but smaller ones invade her head.

I’m sure the artist has other ideas😉
