Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

“You’re not in Kansas anymore” with a crooked smile. He loved her reaction whenever he gave her that smile. He supported her through this new enterprise, even gave her start up money to complete her idea. Standing in the newly painted office space, a “come in” sign gleaming outside, it was still just the two of them. Her idea was a good one. “Maybe it’ll take a while to catch on”, he offered.

MLMM Saturday Mix

Welcome to the Saturday Mix – No Nonsense, 18 March 2023!
You will be given a nonsensical, made-up word. You will need to come up with your own definition and use it creatively and in context, in your response. It is your choice whether you write using poetry or prose. Your nonsense word this week is: “pitication”. Remember, define it; then use it!

***

The act of wanting to be pitied:

You are such a sorry sight

And I’ve tried with all my might

To ensure your happiness

But my dear you just digress

Into your own world, it’s a pity

You’re very charming, even witty

If you’d give only just one chance

And take a different hopeful stance

You’d be a happier girl I think

Step up and off that pitying brink

Try on a smile for a bit of cure

Certainly a better life it will ensure.

Rory’s Morning Dawdler

1. I love the outdoors but rarely get out much. 2. Sensation seeking? Is that a trick question?😂😂
3. Not really. I think we may want to think it’s luck but maybe it’s just good planning.

Thank you Rory and I followed you again with a different email, maybe it will work🙄

3TC Remembrance

Alas, I feel regret for the folly of this day

Along the path, where memories are slightly frayed

Thy beauty is now austere, as I find you there

Among the curly vines and blooms

Allot a memory, reminds of scented rooms

Where and when it was the “we”

Separated now with reality

The garden path now strewn with tears

As your name carved in stone appears.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday

#writephoto – Derelict (2017)

Derelict you say. I guess that you may be right, in some respects. Of course it is my home and I am perfectly satisfied with it. I need no roof or door to protect me. The earthly elements do not affect me. I do not need space around me to be comfortable, therefore in a few centuries when the earth covers this old home, I’ll still reside in this space, at times.

I suppose you’ve guessed by now that I am not human anymore, only an ethereal being now.  There were days of being flesh and blood, but that was when this home was new, fresh from my brother and me building it.  It has been changed a few times, new roof tiles, new trees and plants.  The main structure still stands which we built, stone by stone.

This is not a sad story, for much happiness and joy filled these walls, by me and generations after me. Please visit as you like, and play in the ruins, pretending to live the life I lived.
