The Bag Lady

I felt it right from the start

That sudden welcomed spark

When I saw those eyes of yours

Blue so lovely that devoured

Me, as our minds met

Thinking of what might come next.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!

Red, red, red, lays atop my head

Born with that color and brain and personality

I may have been told a few times in banality

Such an influence to be put on a child

No wonder I thought I should be wild

Why not live up to the promise

But life didn’t offer that premise

Resulting in surrounding my place

With the color red in each small space.

I love the crunchiness of snacks

Give me peanuts, or chips that quack

The crunchy pretzels with that salt

Go well with soda or beer malt

Then of course there’s healthy ones

Celery, carrots, not to be outdone

But for a real life snacker-person

It’s the “salty only” version

Now I’m old and mostly done

Teeth don’t enjoy snacking fun

But I’m okay and easy to please

I’ll have some crackers and some cheese.

Waiting for the stew that’s cooking

Spied a book and started looking

As I grew more interested

In the story, I was vested

Reading while walking round the block

Failed to see the dipping nock

No matter as I turned back to home

Learned no more reading on a roam.

Three Things Challenge #M96

Welcome to the Saturday Mix, 24 September 2022!

This week we are dipping our toes into the pool of OPPOSITES. Our challenge is all about “opposing forces” and the use of antithesis in our writing. You will need to use the two opposing words in your response – which can be poetry or prose.

Our words this week are:

– fresh and stale

– flat and hilly

***

“A baker I’m not”, announced at the start

Her cake lay flat going stale on the cart

“Baking for me is just so silly“

“A generous frosting hides what’s supposed to be hilly.”

Grabbed the cake, daubed on lots of fresh cream

As all were pleased, so it seemed.

You think your point is viable
If research is reliable
Scanning through all oodles
Seeking info on the Google’s
Sites and blogs and news reports
Watch and hear all the retorts
From punsters, comedians and writers
Opinions from all the left and righters
Isn’t it time to settle in
Look inside, look within
Decide to avoid all the full blown
Make up your mind on your own?
Since when have you capitulated
Sought to read theirs, overrated
Having your own thoughts debated?

I had published this once and when I looked at my posts once again checking for errors, it was not there😳🙄. Murphy is lurking I’m sure of it. If I’m not putting s’s instead of a’s i’s instead of o’s, it’s deciding to delete again. A while ago I complained about how speaking instead of typing would fix my fumble finger moments, the text just started automatically disappearing. It must be my phone?? Internet? WP?

Home today is nice and cool and sunny. People are reffing soccer, wedding preparations found and applied, and reading news didn’t make me as angry as usual. So hope your home is happy today too!

Netflix is showing the movie “Tower Heist” and it’s a fun romp with many actors you will recognize.

“For more than 10 years, Josh Kovaks (Ben Stiller) has managed one of New York City’s most luxurious and well-secured residences. One of the condo’s most-notorious residents, Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda), is currently under house arrest for the theft of more than $2 billion from his investors — including Josh and his co-workers. Determined to reclaim the retirement funds Shaw stole from them, they turn to a petty crook named Slide (Eddie Murphy) to help them break into Shaw’s home.”

Release date: November 4, 2011 (USA). Director: Brett Ratner. Producers: Eddie Murphy, Brian Grazer, Kim Roth

Write a poem using the form Amanda’s Pinch or write an acrostic using the name Amanda.

Acrostic-Autumn

All the leaves

Making a pretty dance

As winds carry them down gracefully

New piles of color adorn still green grass

Drying, curling and decimation will continue

As all beautiful life must end.

Green leaves

Fresh buds peeking

Newly mown grass scent
