Is it Play dough?

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Get ready and write for 6 minutes, that is it! Can you write a complete story? Can you think of a new Sonnet? Can you write 400 words? 400? 500? There are no restrictions on what kind of writing you do, but you should try to be actively writing for six minutes.
After you are done writing, include your word count.

Never a foodie, never a cook
never gave a cookie a second look
Veggies and fruit for sure
but meat held no allure
her sister suggested to give a try
to something sumptuous, Sue asked why
I think you’ll love it, sister, sweet
and then showed her the odd looking treat
looked strange, not even edible
but for play dough art it was incredible
it seemed so real looking but really weird
but tasted great, not like it appeared.

No matter how many times Sue heard it, no matter how many texts she saw with the same words, no matter how many times her friends emailed her these messages, she refused to believe it. Sue was not confident and closed herself off from people. Going to work, going back home, were her activities. For years this was so, until Joe walked into her office with his client. She was instantly attracted to him and when he also fell in love with her and said, “you are beautiful”, she believed it.

Unofficial Acts – Insighting an Insurrection Qualifies🤨

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

“The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that former President Donald Trump has broad immunity from federal prosecution. In a 6-3 opinion along ideological lines, the justices said a former president is entitled to a presumption of immunity for his official acts but lacks immunity for unofficial acts. The court sent the case back to the judge in Trump’s election case to determine whether any of Trump’s actions were part of his official duties. President Biden said the ruling sets a “dangerous precedent” and “undermines the rule of law” in remarks from the White House.” https://view.nl.npr.org/

Tanka Tuesday

Tanka:

summer solstice reigns

golden wheat fronds sway in breeze

crop celebrations

cicadas singing in trees

their songs are a mating call

***

Quatrain:

strawberry moon lights

through the thinning veil

fairy land at night

Fireflies prevail

***

Haiku:

swimming pool

inviting children

splash delight
