Fandango’s FFC – Love

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Seen as a tableau of innocence, sitting and actually listening to each other—this is unfiltered, ingenue love. No cell phones with texts, no tablets to zoom, but real conversation and communication is the beginning of friendship or maybe more.

SYW 8-7-23

Here are this week’s questions:

  1. Does your kitchen have a pantry or utility room? My apartment has a laundry room that connects the bedroom and bathroom with a really nice washer and dryer and shelving. No pantry in kitchen.
  2. How good are you at DIY? I used to be very good at it since my husband was not.
  3. Does your home lack something you wish it had? (ie. an open fire, second bathroom, garage, etc). I long since gave up wanting those things after moving into an apartment. The thing I miss most is having a charcoal grill which is not allowed on these apartment patios.
  4. Are you an early bird or night owl? Both unfortunately 😵‍💫

Gratitude: I am grateful my family members are back in town after their jaunt to the east coast and readily await the stories!🩷

The Sunday Whirl

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Unfurl all the glittering confetti streamers, scatter them to the wind and and let them speak a voracious sign that we are celebrating! Our sore minds have been split into grim decks, leaving most of our hearts on the ground like a pile of empties. We need to band together, crumble grim thoughts and enjoy the here and now. Ask a child how their day is going and join them in their delight of something new to them.

Arrived, sealed in red. The wax promises a secret message. The chosen color promises passionate words within. Anticipation builds as she cracks the seal. A promise of a meeting. “Bring your portmanteau.”

Poetry Challenge – Puzzle

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

I love a good puzzle, don’t get me wrong

It keeps my mind healthy and hopefully strong

The largest puzzle I have ever seen

Is the destruction of a utopian dream

Why do we always shoot ourselves in the foot

Why keep anxiety inside, remain moot

I blame it on parents, especially those older

Blindly accepting and not questioning bolder.

This is my first attempt at this challenge and find I had trouble keeping it to 60 words, but hope it’s acceptable. Thanks!
