Six Sentence Story

***

Going “into the light” may actually be easier and cause less stress to everyone around you than trying to use Word Press these days. It would require some light on the men behind the curtains to see what and how they have totally screwed up what used to be a fairly easy platform for a blog. Trying to log in, in case you might want to comment on another’s post, takes a key, a sword, and a light happy dance to access their blog. In light of these ongoing changes, password requirements and constant fiddling around, blogging on WP is getting to be a real pain in the butt (just to put it elegantly). I write on my iPhone, my iPad and use the same handle and email address for the last nine years and yet I am asked to shed light on my identity repeatedly. Would someone please tell WP to lighten up and just let us write or put photos, or rant, or inform as we used to be able to do?

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!

MLMM Saturday Mix

Your story starter for this week is: She threw back the glass of wine and stormed out of the room…in doing so she turned her ankle and fell out of her six inch stiletto and landed flat on her face. Her disgruntled boyfriend remarked, “That girl can make an entrance, but her exits are better”.

    SoCS May 18, 2024

    I admit I’m the one in my family who asks this because most everyone else has allergies 😵‍💫. Things are looking scary for Monday as I have an appointment with the orthopedic doctor, the one I can’t stand—-no pun intended. Then it will be outpatient PT to start putting weight on my left leg. It will be nine weeks Monday since I broke it. Needless to say I’m paranoid now about moving from the WC to any other sitting place. Wish me luck!

    dVerse Poets – Magic 9

    Spring has sprung so they say
    Trees are green and budding out
    Fast moving through the month of May
    Daffodils’ blooms seen everywhere
    Sunshine warming up gardens this day
    Sounds of mowing grass starting their song
    Purple hibiscus and crocus on the way
    This is what spring is all about
    Soon roses will compete in display

    The Unicorn Challenge

    No pets allowed, not even a bird

    That’s what it says in those words

    No more being chased by a dog

    No more stepping on smelly logs

    I know it’s crass, but til it happens to you

    I think you wouldn’t like it, too.

    Of course there are gulls who can be nasty

    Might get too close, you need rhinoplasty

    But think of it this way, I might sound moany

    Beaches are for people, happy or lonely

    There should be dog beaches but for pets only.

    Fandango’s Flashback Friday

    2017:

    Ode to Danny @ dreambigdreamoften.co

    He asks the questions

    As he always does

    Usually difficult

    Starting a buzz

    You know Danny

    Now he’s on vacation

    But still asking questions

    With no cessation

    Before you answer

    He makes you think.

    Bloggers like this

    Use lots of ink

    I often answer

    Always too quick

    May not have mercy

    With a comic shtick

    Some questions are tricky

    And hard to answer

    Sometimes you need

    To be a line dancer

    Stepping either way too far

    Your reputation might even be marred

    Thanks, Danny for making us take time

    Most answers I read are quite sublime.

    Fandango’s Flashback Friday — May 17th

    No Theme Thursday

    Stripped of it all

    His mind askew

    How sad it is now

    Could we start anew?

    The earth is done

    The galaxy calls

    Earth has failed

    How the people did fall

    He wished a solution

    Could we fix it then

    Return to a time when it began

    The ruin of the planet

    Might we start again?

    Did we learn a lesson or will we ignore

    The cry of nature at earth’s core.
