Afterthoughts

When all the pumpkins finish smiling, and the flesh begins to spoil, is a time for remembering the fun of it all, the costumes, the anticipation of treats or tricks, and the new holiday season beginning.

Roasted pumpkin seeds

All is left except photos

Halloween time past

Daily News

Incredible I think

As I read the news

Again, really?

Amazingly, peruse

What they did

What they said

Surely can’t be true

I never said

I never did

I think that was you!

Watching, hearing,

I feel the need to poke

Fun, because it must certainly be a joke.

Twittering Tales

Action!

The light’s too bright, I can’t even see the floor!

That’s the point, Bob, you’re supposed to be in a trance! Didn’t you read the script?

You only provided the audition page. I don’t know what my character’s motivation is.

Uh, Bob, I don’t think you’re right for this. Next!

MLMM Photo Challenge #288

The visas accepted, the language classes done, and the plane was actually on time. Everything seemed to be going along well, maybe too well, for the American couple ready to start a new life in Europe.

After working in a cubicle and living the city routine for twenty years, the married entrepreneurs were ready for something different. The quiet of a more bucolic natural setting was calling to them. After perusing the internet, making reservations at the location, they arrived to this vision.

They were certainly disappointed and had thought the hard work was over. Making this into a B and B was going to be a whole new challenge, but they were ready for adventure in their lives. They just hadn’t anticipated it would be quite this way.

FOWC: Diary

Kept a diary since he was four

Always thinking there would be more

More to life every year

But he was wrong as you read here

Greedy yes, but each child is

A way to survive what isn’t his

The diary tells of dreams to fill

Reality found was his ill

A diary speaks the hidden thoughts

Honesty; not what was taught

Read and savor every truth

Spoken freely in his youth.

MLMM Wordle #156

Tuck both hands together behind your back. Don’t try to crawl out of this with a false apologetic look.

The world is in crisis because of your ghost words, your actions, and results of your avarice.

We have flushed out your conspirators and they are no longer standing behind the hard line you chose for them. Don’t pretend they are not also enjoying being in a lap of luxury through colusion and promises. All will be revealed soon enough.

The self conscious have finally come out of hiding. All that is left is a requiscat for your administration.

Brew and Spew Cafe – Lost Power

***

The enchanted crystal ball has lost its glow and the recipient’s fortunes dwindled. Taking advantage of its gifts, ridiculing its power, forgetting the promise of what could have been, all serve as reasons for the loss.

The chance to alter and improve the world is yours no longer. The chance given to love others as yourself wasted by selfishness.

The ball dims, blackens and cracks, never to be used again, accomplished by your own hands.
