Cellpic Sunday – The Purple Porsche
Six Sentence Story
Wouldn’t it be nice? Oh wouldn’t it be pleasant? If all the news would double up their presence? Not for campaign speeches or riots causing danger, but lovely acts of kindness, certainly a worthy endeavor. Yes I may be dreaming, just seeing nightmares in the news. I wish we could change their choices of these views.
Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!
Fandango’s Story Starter
This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
“You don’t know me, but I’m the ex-wife of your new boyfriend,” the woman said to Pamela when she answered her door, “and he’s not who you think he is.” Then she barged into Pamela’s home and sat down on the couch!
“Who do you think you are barging into my home like this? I don’t care who you are and what you have to say, so leave.” Pamela picked up the woman by the arm and escorted her out the door.
Pamela had heard all about this ex-wife from her current boyfriend Paul. She now knew what she had been thinking from the start—that this was not going to be a good relationship. She originally liked Paul, but she wasn’t about to take on all of his or their problems.

Ovi Poetry – Promise
A hope, a wish that may come true
It’s the promise you make to you
See the design—what you can do
Efforts made even with fun, all contribute to a basic promise

Wednesday One Liners
Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.
(this is the first one liner I found in my blog)

where I was left in the lurch
it was a big box store
and I was left at the door
called a taxi and when it came
he wouldn’t take me
as if me and my chair were to blame
it was snowy, windy usual winter fare
waiting outside freezing in that air
called another service asked about their service
cabbie pulled up to the curb, I was nervous
while loading the chair helped someone else, seemed his purpose
you never know what a person is like until you see them in action doing what’s right
I had only six dollars cash for a tip
he didn’t complain and my ride was blue chip

Poetics: Left in the Lurch
Tanka Tuesday
spring greens now displayed
April’s best
the month of Maying
held captive
a vase of branches
a closeup view of spring buds
cooling on the porch
Mother Nature doesn’t mind
a few stolen sprigs of May

Gratitude: I am grateful to be home and discharged from Home Health. Now it’s outpatient PT I’m looking forward to…not☺️. Hospital bills are rolling in and this one made me laugh…and I am also billed for a ECG I never had🙄. This bill though small did make me laugh at the description of service – “high level of medical decision making”- I never even saw this doc!😵💫 I wonder what the low level is😳

dVerse Poets Redone
A certain one I wonder
What could this be, a dream—
With works of fiction in dusty beams
A quiet place with just one voice
An author narrating his latest book
As I sit listening in a garden nook.

I got carried away with first response, so here is the correct 44 word version😵💫
Quadrille #201: Poems of Place
MLMM Wordle
It was a celebration Sue looked forward to, a happy birthday party for her husband. She had planned it so there was plenty of room for all guests and their children with a play area close. The area also included a converted school bus where the kids of any age could have their face painted and do crafts. Sue was there to greet them all, most strangers to her were from her husband’s office. The day seemed to go flawlessly and when the tray with the birthday cake was brought out, candles aflame, everyone oohed and ahhed. Mark was all smiles as one of the office personnel raised a glass in a toast to him.
That’s when the trouble started. The woman giving the toast suddenly stripped off her clothes revealing a tiny string bikini and went over and planted a big kiss on Sue’s husband. Luckily most small children were inside the bus. Mark backed away and the woman’s friend grabbed the toasted toaster and left the party. Apparently the woman had a secret crush on Mark. The party was subdued after that incident and everyone left early. It is doubtful Sue or Mark rested easily that night.
