Esther’s Writing Prompt

Joe decided to go to the witch

He’d heard of her

She could make you rich

Maybe the old story did ring true

“They” all said it could happen to you

Joe was a sad lonely man

Ate all his meals out of a can

His nights were sitting alone

Watching an old tv he owned

Visiting the witch was a last resort

People told him with some reports

He didn’t listen to them tell all

And that’s what made him fall

Into the witch’s hands of doom

Noticed evil entering her room

But then it was too late

He realized his fate

But still eyed the plate

Of cash.

So the story’s no song

Thanks for reading along

Joe’s sitting pretty

On a pile in the city

No witch around to thank

Now he’s a gargoyle on the bank.

I am an insouciant person, but I am not as free as my Bohemian days.  Everywhere you turned  there was someone willing to topple “normal” thinking.  Every trail of a park you would hear a cassette playing a protest song.  Whether it be about a bird about to become extinct, a speech chiding our involvement in a war we’d never win, or the illusorynotion we could actually obtain world peace, it was a sign of turbulent times.

These excursions to the park for some protesters sporting clenched fists of power usually ended up warranting a night in jail.  But these well meaning actions caused a nascence behavior that is resurging today.  With the political agenda seeming to be “power to the rich” in all forms and ignoring the statues of promise to “we the people”, “united we stand” is part of the answer to the current crisis.  Those old protests need to be woken up, dusted off and put back into use.

The town was sending the wrong message again. The bench for the running team today was only half full and families not showing up for meets caused a box of complaints to pile up in the coach’s office. The sound of the teammate’s anxiety was prevalent. When the coach benched the team’s lowest performing students, there was a boycott.

The Sunday Whirl

Joe was sitting on the mat, in typical lotus position, trying to exhale deeply and begin meditating. His chi had been disturbed last night and now by a slight wind coming from where, he didn’t know. He always closed the windows and locked the doors because in order to meditate he needed a quiet atmosphere. At the same time he felt it, he was unaware of a ghost like shape high up in the corner of the ceiling. It made itself known by presenting weird glows of color. That got Joe’s attention and he was scared. He had received some voicemails warning of a coming electrical storm and since he had fallen asleep last night listening to a scary story, he figured there must have been some sort of electric spark that made him think it was a shape. Joe hurriedly left the room and noticed as he shut the door, the entire room was in colors. He decided to call the realtor the next day.
