Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt 3-20-21

Lately our Earth seems off its orbit

Some days I find it too morbid

Sunshine is harder to find

To keep the positive in mind

Maybe we’re just off kilter

Everything seems to need a filter

Our actions, our speech, our feelings brought out

Everyone ends up feeling put out.

Fashion Statement

The petulant smile

Expressing cheek

In jagged jean styles

Also gives a peek into new clothes unrefined

For ripped up jeans you’ll spend more than a dime.

Fandango’s Friday Flashback

Putting my feet in the dirt 3-21-18

I had just woken up to the news about losing Stephen Hawking. For some reason it struck me as monumentally sad. I was washing my tears off in the bathroom sink when my grandson texted me. We seem to have a weird wavelength. He asked what I was doing and I answered my usual nothing. He said I’m coming over in ten.

Of course it was almost lunchtime but I was not in a fixing food mood. He came in and raided the freezer, which has slim to none pickings at the moment, and brought out some fish fillets. So fiddlesticks it was. Waiting for the oven to heat, we listened to a new percussion piece he’s doing for the orchestra. He plays all of the instruments, but loves the drums best.

Twelve thirty and he’s off to be a TA in another class. I have to admit I will miss him when he graduates in a couple of months, especially these surprise visits that always end with hugs and I love yous. Parents and grandparents have bittersweet times when children grow so fast. I’ve often said to frazzled parents of toddlers, time passes so fast, try to enjoy each moment.

3TC – Perky?

She stepped from the limo, an impavid woman, wearing those shoulder pads with heavy stuffing in a vestige of 1980’s glamour. The crowd at the Maralago resort chimed in with their regular chattering greetings without a sprout of condemnation. After all she had been the FLOTUS.

Neptune: “I don’t know what happened! I was only poking the mermaids as usual and suddenly a huge thunderbolt and I’m now sitting above stagnant water in a pond! Oh how far I have fallen.”

Chronos : “I told you there would be consequences if you didn’t stop annoying them!”
