Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “clown.” Use it as a noun or a verb; use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

Fun? Fun? I hate clowns and even the “nice” ones give me the creeps…

I have a great friend who dresses up as a clown to entertain in homes for the elderly. I joined her once but dressed as an overdone opera performer, but I digress. I’m not sure where this fear originated but definitely was amped up reading Stephen King’s “It” when it was published in 1986. I think it is the scariest book I ever read and the original movie? No thanks!

Nope, not even a clown emoji😱

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Nov. 18, 2023

Putting My Feet in the Dirt 2 by rugby843, June 27, 2028

🕺🏻

Jerry was a dancer

When he heard music,

At least dreamed he was

Always stopped to pause

For a tap or slide with a soft shoe

That’s when everyone knew

Jerry was in a world of his own

When all of his seeds of dance were sown

He’d frequent the discos very well rehearsed

Asked ladies to dance with a cheery verse

They liked to join him to dance in a jiffy

All thinking he was spastically spiffy

His manner of dance sometimes seemed odd

With unusual movements he made with his bod.

Is it time to turn away from the vast media chatterbox, and stop engaging in their games; the ugly pantomime promoting discontent? Concise truths cannot be expected, even from the highest hill, and we fall prey to those pushed buttons in our minds. Why not try an escape, take flight from the everyday hovering over us and take yourself even through imagination, to a beautiful surround like the one below?

Photo Prompt

“I see it’s still standing,” smiling as he recalls days of gathering here. He and his fellow soldiers were on leave—tired, hungry and ready for a bit of home.

Joe pulled his wife of forty years close to him and looked down into her eyes. “Those three days, and meeting you that night, was the beginning of a beautiful life.”

The phrase hooked me in this first song, his voice in the second, but my grandson saw him in concert, told me I’d like him, and he was right😀

Your poetic prompt for today (it doesn’t cost extra!) is as follows: write a poem (probably about guacamole, maybe?) using a mixture of at least four of the following key words: avocado, bunch, chop, cilantro, coriander, cumin, finely, fork, jalapeño, kosher, lime, mash, onion, pepper, raw, red, ripe, salt, seeds, serrano, shell, smoky, spice, squeeze, tomato, white, yellow. Everything else is up to you!

***

Keep the cumin coming

And sashay the cilantro

Don’t forget the jalapeño

To keep their tongues ahumming

Be liberal with the lime

It’s now taco time!

Squeeze the avocado

Let the creamy center flow

Finely chop the onion

For subtle flavor glow

Make sure the tomatoes

Are red and very ripe

You need their smooth calming

To offset all the spice.

🌮🌮🌮

Holy Guacamole!🥑
