MLMM Sunday Writing Prompt 40

The Bag Lady

Thinkers will most agree

Time never stays, it flees

“The time to change your ways is now”

They never seem to answer how

Politicians, bible toters

Even irrational voters

All agree it’s time to act

The problem is, which set of facts

Do or should you choose

No help in the news

All people hold different views

If we can’t unite we will lose

Time repeats, time after time

Experienced again in rhyme

“All good things come to those who wait”

Should we reset time or accept our fate

I hope you have some answers, dear

To me it just seems so unclear.

Sakura Temple

writing in north norfolk

the millstone has stopped
hidden beneath frost and ice

­                                                                 temple garden wakes

Short Story Sunday: Blow Up

Vampire Maman

It wasn’t just one of those days. It was THE day. At least it seemed that way, for a few minutes, then Tara realized that it was a rare week that went by without a disaster.

Take this morning for example. She’d been driving home and heard the sound of an explosion, then sirens, and then saw a huge black cloud coming from the sky. She assumed that it was a fire in a field or an old warehouse occupied by homeless tweekers. She stopped to get gas, then by the grocery store to pick up cat food.

She turned into her street and saw that it was her garage.

“Dingus,” she whispered. Her dog raised his head from the back seat of her car. “Amber,” she said out loud. “Oh no. Amber.”

The detached garage was gone. Firefighters were working on keeping the rest of the house from…

The quote “Let us think the unthinkable. Let us do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself. And see if we may not eff it after all.” Douglas Adams

What is the underlying theme? What’s the story here? The overarching emotions? If you like you can read them like panels in a comic strip it’s up to you how your interpret them. Literal or abstract are both perfectly acceptable. I got out of order with my collage prompts so please let me know if ever you see a repeat!

Florescence Day 15

like mercury colliding...

latticed burst of crimson
passion plays, dusk and dawn
past the horizon yon stratus

Today’s Florescence for Jane’s Daily Challenge started to stir last evening as the sun was setting. ❤️
