Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

Their union would be joyful, everyone was sure

Especially when Mrs. Jones offered up her cure

Her reputation didn’t keep her from joining in

Placing her own concoction in the lime punch added gin

No one knew her wayward past, or what was done to her

Wedding occasions were required for her mission to secure

No grooms or brides she sought would ever suffer her sad fate

When she added her special secret potion to their plates.

Who knew we would still be alive and kicking in May 2021? May I just say I am relieved! My family is vaccinated except for the two youngest grandkids and all is well. May brings a confirmation on Sunday and a high school graduation on the 28th. Mother’s Day fits in this month along with May 1st childhood favorite – Mayday. We picked flowers for baskets to secretly put on neighbors’ doors, and our one room school house danced around a maypole. Gotta love May!

MLMM Sunday Writing Prompt 5-2-21

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

It’s only you, so far above

That sees the temptation of love

A starry night with planets shown

I only think and now bemoan

My fruitless efforts however earnest

With outcomes of the meanest

Truth was never in his game

Why do I always choose the same?

Fandango’s Flashback Friday – Sunday Photo Fiction 4-30-17

“Okay, Al, it’s like I said earlier, I can’t make it move, I’m too light!”

“You know, Henry? You’re just one of those nagging naysayers. . .l can’t do it, I don’t get it, what if I fail, I’m too tired, I’m not (smart, cool, big, little) enough. Don’t you ever get tired of that defeated attitude? Geez, let me try.”

Al flew over and jumped on the space bar, as heavily as he could, but it refused to move. “I’ve got it, we’ll get Thor, Hulk, and Teeny to help.” Al flew over to the near barn that was home to the farm animals, as well as the three above mentioned horseflies.

Henry was still jumping up and down on the space bar, trying to disprove Al’s theory. He wasn’t a wimpy guy, he was just small. He looked up to see the three huge friends descend upon the space bar next to him.

“Okay, everybody, on three!”

Bottoms up Bert 😢

Bert’s day began like any other, a quick swim, grabbing a few bites flying about and then just floating around on the lake. It was an easy life really, and even though he found it a bit boring at times, he was grateful.

Deciding he would meet Murray in the next cove for their daily chat, he was airborne for only a few seconds when something hit him , hard! Apparently they both had forgotten to look at their calendars to note hunting season had begun.

As Murray sorrowfully watched, Bert landed in an awkward clump, his uneventful life was over.
