Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge

Don’t bother me, I’m in retreat
Covering up, admitting defeat
The world’s no longer “at my feet”
In fact my enthusiasm’s beat
Don’t try to offer words, if sweet
I want no longer to hear their bleat
They only offer mournful gleet
I’m on that one way street
Where depression offered me a seat.

MLMM Wordle – Summertime

A scowl spread across her ivory face, surveying the shoreline, hoping it would not be another day of unbearable summer heat. The lavish sand however, transpired an ethereal mirage as the waves refflected more of the sun’s wrath. The clouds played cagey, always hiding on the edges, until later when they would show themselves in an afternoon thunderstorm. The brief lightning would stalk the beach with brittle flashes only to be waylaid once more by another beautiful sunset.

MLMM Saturday Mix

Welcome to the Saturday Mix – Lucky Dip, 10 September 2022!

For this week’s Lucky Dip, I have reached into my mystery bag and pulled out a Quinzaine. The topic is up to you! You may be thinking to yourself, What on earth is Quinzaine?

Life’s only what you make it

Which one do you choose?

Move or spurn?

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

Bandage my heart… please?
Wrap it up tight, I’m on my knees!
It has been used, abused and trodden
If it’s closed, things might be forgotten.
It needs a bandage, a cleansing of sorts
Where noone can get to it again, so I resort
To having it sewn up and taped up so tight
The darkness inside might turn to light.

Hallucinations

She watched in amazement as the shapeshifter displayed its multiforms, first an ant, a bee, and then a bird that flew to a tall branch. It seemed to foist itself out and upward showing luminous wings in various shades of red white and blue. When I looked closer I could see a tiny gold ring above its head. It couldn’t be…could it? A stylized bird form to commemorate the queen? I shook my head…shouldn’t have had that fourth glass of wine at lunch.
