A beach now swept
The machine quite ept
Rotating blades clean
Trash now unseen
A gift in this work
While unconscious jerks
Spread much debris
And ruin sand and sea

3TC – What?
Your three words today are:
SPREE
MALL
ESCALATOR
Was this said in a speech at a mall? If so I don’t think his elevator goes to the top…it’s on a spree of gobbledygook!

Three Things Challenge #M808
Friday Fictioneers
Driving up to what they hoped was a restaurant, reading the various signs, it might be a place to eat, but they couldn’t really tell. The most alarming was the “explosives” sign and a couple of “no trespassing”, so did they dare approach the door? They were so hungry and tired from their trip they just sat in their car. Finally they decided to take a chance…as they were ready to knock, suddenly the door opened and a friendly chubby face greeted them and gestured to enter. Inside was what looked like an October fest! And the food was delicious.

These are excerpts from a USA TODAY article about Robby Starbuck ( no affiliation) who to me is a huge pest coming out of the woodwork, aided by another pest, “X”.

Four Line Fiction (2436)
“Tip of the Spear”
The inspiring true story of a US Special Forces soldier who was medically retired after stepping on an IED, and his incredible return to active duty. Sergeant First Class (SFC) Ryan Hendrickson is a brave, determined, and courageous soldier — a Green Beret clearing the way for his twelve-man team while conducting combat operations against the Taliban. As the “tip of the spear,” his role is to ensure the route taken by U.S. and Afghan troops are free of IEDs — improvised explosive devices. Many soldiers do not survive their last step; those who do often lose at least one limb.

safe soft green beauty
shelter for creatures below
fish hide under lily pads
turtles and frogs harbor there
hiding alligators stalk
ducks, birds floating unaware

dVerse Poets Poetics
Laughter comes along
No need for jokes or even a song
We love and know each other well
Results bringing old waters to the well
All in fun and never to hurt
Meanings sometime revert
And take us back to a time or two
Then laughter brings the memories through.
