The Bag Lady

The “Seaman’s Anchor” bartender, secret EPA agent, listened to the creep at the end of the bar near a wooden pillar, which had a microphone and video camera to record any suspicious activity. A favorite drink of the man being recorded was red tea – vodka, tea, and cherry juice, served in a beer mug so he would not be thought a “mermaid”, (anyone drinking “sissy” fare). At the bartender’s signal, EPA government agents would gallop in and make arrests.

Cinquain Poetry Prompt 29: STRENGTH is your inspiration.

Joan hated Christmas shopping. Her husband Pete loved it. He took their children to the markets to find out what they wanted for Christmas and they grew up sharing their dad’s enthusiasm for the holidays. Knowing his wife was tired of all the hoopla about the season, Pete decided to surprise her. He told the children to keep it a secret, but they were too excited. When the five of them stopped in the small local market, they couldn’t hold it in any longer. “Mommy, we’re going to buy presents! Do you like this”, holding a fancy silver carafe.

One-Liner Wednesday – I don’t think this is mathing

Joe always a regular guy

Parents said to never ask why

Of course he slipped

When the queen tripped

They found out she’d drunk too much rye.

The Chinese history of dragons starts in 3000 BCD and looks very different from European dragons. It breathes breath, not fire. First of this legend is Yan Emperor (炎帝 Yándì), a legendary Chinese leader from pre-dynastic times, who was born of an encounter with a powerful dragon. Later, he partnered with Emperor Huang Di and together they conquered their enemies, unified China and, according to myth, pioneered Chinese civilization. The dragon is significant and often in parades. The belief is dragons bring prosperity, bountiful harvests and good health.
