May 4 “We should always support good writing. Even though it appears there are too many lazy remakes and shitty TV shows and movies, there’s always good writing out there. For every ten “Two Broke Girls,” there’s at least one “Community,” or “The IT Crowd,” or “The Good Place.” You just gotta search for it.”http://claytoonz.com/2023/05/04/scabbing-with-tucker

Does anyone else have a problem with Mr. Linky? Probably only me as usual… if I write anything requiring a link to this site, I take more time to finagle it than writing the post!
If you have old fingers like mine, and you hit (him) instead of the little box, it takes you to a lengthy green explanation of what (he) is. If you click back it goes away and you have to revisit the original prompt post to hit the link again.
Also, this requires me to follow myself to get an email of my posted response in order to have the url to post on the link. Confusing isn’t it? And too much time consumed to get it posted on Mr Linky. Maybe Mr. Linky is just Murphy in disguise 🤨
Maybe if you use a computer instead of a phone you have multiple windows so this back and forth nonsense is not a problem. I only use a phone. I wish we could just link to the prompt post without 🫨 Mr. Stinky (oh sorry, that was harsh) Linky.

Map the expanse of love from
When first I saw you—
Marriage yield signs through “under construction” motherhood
The bridge of two in love to parents, crossed
Expectations road sign warnings here and there
Expanding with time, the map offers new travelers and destinations.
***
Sticks and stones all welcomed here
They make this home less austere
Colorful leaves and grasses too
All make my nest of twigs a true
Safe and restful place for chicks
I’m very careful what I pick
Any bits of soft I garn
A fabric’s thread or string of yarn
All to keep my children cleaved
Until it’s time for them to leave.

A visit to the library will engage children and spark the small readers into finding new worlds of fantasy and nonfiction adventures, historical accounts of real life and characters in fairytales. Both give the child an individualistic view of the world around them. Literacy is freedom.
