It may be a virus causing you to quaver
It lingers like a veiled prey on your voice
Rugged healthy men rely on written papers
Every note that’s written they read, their choice
Communication when ill with this is no favor
No given name, just a dance on your chords
Germs want to show off, wish to be on a runway
Allowing their varied bag of ills to play.

This is what I get on my iPad screen every time I try to click on a link:
power growing fast
old thinking is gone
burgeoning hatred
feeding more false facts
sadly uncompromising

What is under your umbrella? Is it your family, that’s the first thing I thought of. Your children – pets? Come, your space reserved.

Weekend Writing Prompt #430 – Umbrella
eagerly approached
future promise succeeded
faith stability
turn of events stopped progress
championed failure, dreams quashed
***
heavy clouds roll in
summer storms extremely loud
thunder black the worst
hope visible sun rising
being pulled up by the blue
–
weather hues
sun gold fights black clouds
green grass waits

#SenHai Saturday – 8/23/25
Respond to this Friday Faithfuls challenge by writing about the notoriously ambiguous nature of being conscious, or if you think that conscious is defined by having all of your neurons and synapses working together in conjunction with each other, or does being conscious mean that you are aware of your environment and your own existence and thoughts, or do you feel that consciousness is a process in the brain, or is it a behavior that that is controlled by the brain, or you can go with anything else that you think would fit.

I think these days, this year and coming ones, that our conscious mind is too full. I refer to the unconscionable leader we have now, tearing up the constitution and changing laws that were set by our founding fathers. Freedoms have been axed, while military and unqualified, dressed up masked men are running riot all over the states. Where is the consciousness here? Dangerous changes effecting the poor, elderly sick and disabled are frightening. As an ordinary citizen my conscious mind speaks here. I won’t be ruled by unconscious minds.

What Does It Mean to Be Conscious?
“This is where we’re supposed to meet? Looks a little exposed. The target is in the high rise over there. Isn’t this a little too close?” Joe was nervous about the meet, his usual mindset. He didn’t like to be seen next to a target’s building.
“It’ll be okay, just relax!” While he was saying this, a CIA photographer was recording their movements and listening in. Suddenly Joe pulled his client into the restaurant, out of sight. “The Bob” restaurant was full and Joe thought he thwarted the CIA, but didn’t see the man staring at them from the bar.

My affection for you is starting to wane
I’m tired of how you whine and complain
Especially when we’re out to dine
And you start off grumbling about the wine.
