Upon Reflection

Upon reflection

The fruit of the vine consumed

the sage inside her

Maybe it’s because I’m doing Dry January, but my mind immediately went to wine when I saw vine! Anyway … thanks to Ronovan Writes for the vine/sage prompt and thanks to Linda’s Just Jot January Challenge and Janet Smiles for the extra help and prompt (reflection).

Santa’s Very Good Bad Night

up the flue he flew

but like a bird on a wire

he plunged to the ground

as the sleigh lifted in flight

and Santa cedes to the “flu”

‘Twas the weeks after Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring … except for some odd drunk Santa inspiration thanks to Linda’s Just Jot January Challenge and WTFAIOA’s word prompts (flu/flue/flew)

Hope you enjoy my late Christmas cheer!

I See Me

bb

my mind full, spinning

dusty on the edges, but  

shining with ideas

Today’s word prompt (self) for Linda’s JuJoJan Challenge was courtesy of But I Smile Anyway

Go! Visit them both!

The idea of self was obviously twirling around in my brain because when I saw Helen’s Photo Prompt I immediately thought–that reminds me of my brain! Always spinning around some great idea while my car keys get lost in the dusty cobwebs!

Mementos

Youth’s Mementos

Floating through a grass filled sky  

Like the white winged dove  

Today’s prompts (grass / dove/ memento) immediately launched my mind back to my wayward youth. So thanks for the memories Ronovan Writes and Linda’s Just Jot January Challenge and Daisy Smile Face

And thanks to Stevie for being Stevie!

Everything is Connected

to forgive the past

is only enigmatic

if unrecognized
