The Sunday Whirl

The surprise of fire suddenly rising in the night sky caused a ferocious outcry from the child. The form of the bright flames border was a frightening spectacle only seen in videos. Effervescent sparks drifted into the finery of summer trees, a poor shower for dry leaves. The devastation was too real for the young mind to comprehend, realizing this was nothing he could turn off by removing a game card.

One Daily Prompt: Disunite

A sad fact on this July 4th weekend to see these people, heavily armed, in fatigues, with body armor, what I call military wannabe failures, with body cams, traveling to spread falsehoods and disunite American citizens.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt – 7-3-21

Rearranging my room to accommodate a small recliner, I found an old photo album with pictures of my grade school days, my beloved teacher, and some old nearly forgotten friends. What a lucky bunch of farm kids we were, and how privileged to have a loving caring teacher in formative days. No matter how old I get or how far away I am from those childhood happenings, there is a constant everlasting tether to my youth, birthplace and childhood memories.

MMA Storytime – Change

Short or tall, fat or thin

Do you like the clothes you’re in?

Winter can disguise your shape

Heavy fabric, coats draped

Summer does not appeal

Every nuance is revealed

In the fitting rooms to change

Hoping you can rearrange

A bulge here or wrinkle there

But does anyone really care?

Do your thing, all is well

Especially when temps begin to swell.
