“Look, mom, the sun fell down!”
“I think it’s the moon”, his sister replied. “It’s cold!”, using all of her four year old knowledge of the sun and moon, and reached to pick it up. Both were delighted to find a new toy to play with.

Fandango’s Story Starter

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:

Irene looked up at the clock and saw that it was five minutes past seven. “Yikes!” Irene shrieked, “I’m going to be late again! Dang you Charlie!” Irene always blamed Charlie, whether it was her own fault forgetting to set the alarm again, or using up all the shower’s hot water, to not making her favorite coffee.

This was Irene, spoiled from the age of one, and a bane on the existence of anyone who lived or worked with her. Charlie, on the other hand was Irene’s deceased husband who succumbed to a stress caused heart attack a few years after they married.

Simply Six Minutes

Yes I’m a fairy and flexible, you see
I need it to navigate trees.
I protect little children, but secretly
And need to ready to hide or flee.
A fairy’s life can be solitary,
and never done for reasons monetary.
We use our skills to aid the young ones, wee.
If you’re out wandering and you come upon
A fairy like me, now you’ve seen one,
Don’t be scared or try to run,
Stick around, we’ll have some fun!

dVerse Poetics – Bottle

Originally housing a liquid sweet

Added to my coffee a sugary treat

All hail the delight of espresso syrup

Ones I like aren’t made in Europe

Then being a saver of every clear flaske

I wash and refill with water, my task

To recap and store in the cold

When used for drinking I am told

“It looks like vodka in that bottle”

Then we all settle in for a chortle.

MLMM Wordle

Royal blue or emerald green

Water’s perfect profile rarely seen

Or the solution of keeping clear and clean

Childhood remembers streams pristine

New techniques covering control of the scene

Authors of science in bricked modern times

Research together in present climes

Say the pure liquid is hard to find.
