The Bag Lady

I’m struggling with this word express

Right now everything’s a mess

I usually manage my life and time

But now it’s far from being sublime

When all of a sudden I find myself

Sitting with a needed part shelved

I realize the life that used to be

Is delayed by an injury and not pleasantly

I’m in rapid rehab with a broken tibia and fibula

Ten weeks till put weight on it, ruins curricula

So stuck with a leg feeling like it weighs ten tons

Seeing others in rehab realize I’m a lucky one

So I’ll complain here to you perfect strangers

My scheduled writings rearrangered 😂

The routine here is strictly adhered to

I’ll try to read and comment to you though.

Have a good week👍🏻🤓

Val’s (Murisopsis’) prompt guidelines

This April, for National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), Murisopsis is running an “Around the World” poetry forms scavenger hunt (you should join us there!), and, as such, she is using one of these international forms for our W³ prompt this week!

• Form:Cameo;
  • Heptastich (a poem in 7 lines);
  • Syllabic: 2-5-8-3-8-7-2 syllables per line;
  • Unrhymed, but end words should be strong.
• Theme: Love
  • Try to incorporate some of the other kinds of love for a change…

In love

Soft brown curly fur

Squiggly wiggly body

Wet kisses

Big paws scratching grooves on your couch

Can’t help but give them a pass

Dog love.

24 Seasons Syllabic Poetry Challenge, No. 28, 4/2/24, Part I, Clear and Bright (April 4 – 18) Seimei 清明24

One-Liner Wednesday – Screen time

Sue needed an outlet. The twins were three and walking, talking and human dynamos. Not a minute was spent just sitting looking at a book, playing with blocks or doing puzzles; the girls were on the move! Sue had baby proofed the entire house and felt they could roam safely. Exhausted, Sue fell asleep by the side of the bed when trying for the third time to read the girls to sleep at night. Luckily the girls copied their mother and when daddy came home they were all asleep, having no idea of the hectic day.

It’s Thursday’s Six Sentence Story Link Up!

Lucky Dip – Saturday Mix, 30 March 2024

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:

“For once,” Quinn thought, “I wish I could get out of my own way.” Quinn was usually hesitant when trying to assert himself in a job interview, but today seemed like his last chance. He needed to do well. Straightening his tie, standing up straight, managing a cheerful smile, Quinn stepped into the office.
