The Bag Lady

Angelic face

Framed in lace

Smiles come at a rapid pace

Never won the judgment race

She seems haloed inside her space.

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Haloed

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:

Sandra made a promise to herself that she would never do it, yet here she was, about to do precisely what she said she never would. She checked her pockets, making sure she had about twenty dollar bills. Sandra was going to dress more provocatively than ever, making sure the deep v neck sweater would show off her best features. At least she had been told they were…back in the eighties…by a few eager boys. That was so long ago she thought, it’s time for a change. Husband and kids asleep for the night, she grabbed her party clothes, stuffed them in a bag and left her “happy home”. Her girlfriends pulled up quietly outside by her driveway and she got in their car quickly. They all were laughing to hide their nervousness and drove to the club. The sign outside read: “One night only, all ladies welcome”. Photos of male dancers surrounded the sign.

24 Seasons

Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #238

Autumn enters bright and bold
Warmest colors fight the cold
While curling leaves begin to fold
And harvest moons turn to gold
Pumpkins rest, waiting to be honed
Lattes spiced with aromatic cloves
Lawns crunchy with leaf droves
And dreading the too soon snows.

Joe had gained a lot of weight and now he was just cumbersome. He had never been an athlete of any kind and now sitting in an office chair all day did not help. Every nibble seemed to strike a new mound on his already uncontoured shape. He seemed destined to just be in his office and vegetate while rumors flew as to “the bigwig fulfilled his name”. Joe resigned himself to their cruelty and opened the donut box again.
