My personal dragon
an encouraging teammate
never acts dismayed
small but powerful
this is a steadfast dragon

“Hey biggie, I dare you to touch it!”
“No way Charlie, even I hate snakes!”
“But it’s dead!”
“I can see that C, I’m not stupid…but it’s grodes!”
***
If you find a dead snake, do not come into contact with the snake’s mouth, because dead snakes can still deliver venom through their fangs. Even a severed head of a snake still has the ability to inject venom when it is touched.

The Unicorn Challenge
Maximum of 250 words.
Based on photo prompt.
That’s it.

Waiting, standing, anticipating
Nerves alive, even grating
Never thought I’d feel elation
At a simple railway station
But here I am, debating
The choice of “online” dating
Pick an app, state your case
Everyone does it, no disgrace
Then decide to meet face to face
I should have just erased
The picture I had placed
Now I’m feeling so displaced
Train is coming, heart is raced—
Wow, can this be my mate?
They say all’s well that ends well
Think I’ve created a dream, a spell
But in fantasy I dwell
I think this date will turn out swell!

Fandango’s Flashback Friday
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – 4-29-17 by rugby843
Howdy doody! It’s Saturday SoCS by lindaghill.com and we’re off with the Prompt “yard.”
I’m in an apartment now and don’t have a yard. Besides the maintenance, I miss it very much. In Colorado at my old home built in 1940, we had a nice yard. Crab apple trees would be in full pink blooms today, the Forsythia in yellow, and the Bridal Veil in white. The English Sparrow babies would be peeking in and bobbing up and down outside the porch windows. The Iris would be in full bloom, along with white, lavender, and purple lilac bushes. The Colorado state flower, the blue Columbine, would be coming up and the Peony bushes budding. We lived on the Western slope where it was a near perfect seasoned climate. When it snowed in the higher mountains we were privileged to see beautiful snow topped peaks. I could go on, but you get the point, loved it!

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Feb. 17, 2024
The Penguin. (Language)
Time to watch the “Blues Brothers” movie again—love the humor and music.
**no offense intended.
Fun fact:
Blues Brothers (1980) – 104 cars destroyed 60 police cars were purchased for the making of this film – and none survived. The most cars destroyed in a movie is 532 in “Transformers” 2011.
Writer’s Workshop – Agree
***
It’s not much fun if we all agree. We’re not all branches from the same tree. Even in families that aim to please, there’s dissent in opinions which don’t always agree. Voices are sometimes raised or met with smiles, even praised. All make it interesting and never boring. But we draw the line when it comes to scoring.

What day is it anyway?
Sitting here sipping my crème brûlée
Sun’s decided to come out and stay
Thirty degrees is a fairly warm day
It’s Wyoming winter’s February way
Most last storm’s snow melted away
Perfect for basketball, watching plays.
