The Bag Lady

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.

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.

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.”

Let me ask you a question.

Do you like being put on hold when on phone, or waiting in general? I’m an impatient person so my answer is “no”.

And what do I do to not be foaming at the mouth in frustration? I doodle, it relaxes my noodle.

The only drawback is the mess a ballpoint pen makes on the paper. I could show you some of my elaborate creations but they end up in the trash bin. But if you do doodle, please share in a comment here or make your own post. Enquiring minds want to know😃

Personal side note: In first grade his teacher said my middle son was a pita—only because he doodled in margins of his paperwork. His answer to why he did it was because he was bored. I asked the teacher if he could bring a book to read while being “bored”. She said no. When my middle son was in third grade he was tested as genius/gifted.

Doodle: verb: scribble absentmindedly noun: a rough drawing made absentmindedly.

“Where’s your passion, Frank? Where’s the honor and pride you used to speak about—even eloquently? Now you spout the same boring rhetoric that you filter from Fox News and those blowhards screaming at people in congress!”

Frank looked down at his feet, trying not to remember his younger days of protest in the sixties. She was right.
