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

Quadrille #201: Poems of Place
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.

MLMM Wordle #372
Restless waves slip in and out of the dark cave as marbled walls display flickering moonlit shadows. Joe’s pulse quickened as he fought the restraints repeatedly. The chance he might escape was minimal; he knew it. Why he decided to join the group now seemed a stupid and dangerous endeavor.
Joe started out as a fan of the music, a seemingly soul searching cry in the words. He should not have gone online to follow them as now they had his entire information at their hands. His first attendance at a concert of theirs seemed to fill a void in his mind, the song’s words meaningful. Joe was invited to an after party but started to get suspicious when he heard the demonic chanting…he was right.

Weekend Writing Prompt #363 – Cabinet
(Lawyer’s comment in court of law)
Standing up in court
Stands a fool
Got his lawyer
From the available pool
He was guilty, there was no doubt
But thought a lawyer would figure out
Ways to get a sympathetic connection
To the judge by always saying “jection!”
The judge surprised, at this lack of decorum
Felt sorry for the guilty party’s forum
“Your OBjection,” the judge declared
“Was inappropriate and your client is spared…
Such flagrant use of an important word
Your client should fire you for being absurd!“
