Greg’s 5 Word Weekly

The seismic shift resounded in Paul’s heart when he saw his first born child, the most beautiful boy he could imagine, being taken away from the courtroom in handcuffs. Paul could only stand there, as the insipid judge shouted “next case!” Paul thought he should have done something valiant, shielded his son from this harsh punishment, but Paul was only a parent who loved his son.

Dancing the Jig

The money was good, too good he thought, but I can feign interest and react to her supposed allure again. Even in the dimming twilight, the slab of makeup in her attempt to appear beautiful turned him off. He would use his actor training, hoping to interpret the romantic anxious lover she wanted him to be.

SYW 2-20-23

🥳My daughter’s birthday today!🥳

1. I make a list but am usually tempted to add something if I’m in the store. Delivery makes it easier to resist.

2. I hate clothes shopping and even in store all sizes are different depending on brands so difficult to shop online. I like to feel the fabrics.

3. No. Actually I have a pair of sneakers, a pair of lace up boots and a big pair of snow boots. Inside I can wear fuzzy sheepskin socks because I don’t walk.

4. I enjoy going shopping if it’s for someone else, for example, a granddaughter.

Gratitude for the attitude of my daughter and family as they were two weeks without heat and it has been very cold and windy. We have experienced high winds with a storm on the way and on Saturday their new furnace was installed / just in time!

Love Is In Da Blog 2-19-23

My choice is the original Dolly Parton

If I should stay
Well I would only be in your way
And so I’ll go, and yet I know
I’ll think of you each step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you

Bitter-sweet memories
That’s all I’m taking with me
Good-bye, please don’t cry
‘Cause we both know that I’m not
What you need

But I will always love you
I will always love you

And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you
I will always love you

I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

Six Sentence Story

Unwrap your heart. Open it up to me. Wrap your arms tightly so I can hear it opening. Every beat I feel as you are pressed so close against me, unwraps the gift I have for you in return. My love wraps around you and yours mine. Together we make the perfect package.

I Passed!

I recently read that Trump had to take a competency test and part of it was a forum of five words he had to recite at a later time with precision and accuracy. It might have been at the height of his downturn in popularity, but even the smallest detail should have mattered. Later this self proclaimed prodigal son declared he passed with flying colors—of course his constant dressing of red, white and blue.

MLMM – Wind

This week for Sunday Confessionals I would like you to create and write about moments of nature : those moments where you noticed the sky, heard the specific rustle of the leaves and similar.

I hear you out there, threatening my window panes, curling around each corner, sneaking under door jambs, seeking a cleft or crevice to enter. A wood stove crackles its defiance—“I will keep them warm, enter at your peril!” The wind just laughs as it thunders once more, stronger, against the glass, and frosts it with designs.

You don’t fool me I say, beauty will not beguile me to look closely. I will lock the shutters tightly and hide your art, roll up thick carpets against the edges of doorways, and put more logs on the fire. Whip and pound and roar your cold, mighty air, but you will not freeze me.

The Sunday Whirl

The white sheet was carefully thrown over the elder’s body. The man’s loss was evident as mourners tossed wispy stalks of thistle upon the crest of the sheet. There was a visible tremor from the depths of the earth and a suddenly forbidding sky, as if even the universe could feel his demise. After the burial and a tall tombstone befitting his esteemed life, a black crow cawed a song of sorrow for his death.

MLMM – No Nonsense

Welcome to the Saturday Mix – No Nonsense, 18 February 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: “sembine“. Remember, define it; then use it!

Sembine: slang for some beans

Sam powered up the barbecue with way too much lighter fluid and set the nearby tree on fire. The charcoal was doused with salt and water, so the idea of ribs for dinner was a nonstarter. “Don’t worry, shugah” his wife offered. I have sembine to serve.”

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

“I am not” he complained. “And who even knows what that word means anyway? I know I’m not from the planet Saturn, so exactly what are you accusing me of?” Joe frowned, sat back in the darkness, drapes closed, with half empty bottle of bourbon beside him.
