the world is on fire

the world is on fire

but still we say let’s do drinks

and analyze raw data

but it’s an art not a science

so we take no drastic measures

as we blame social media

then we wake to another shocking catastrophe   

the world is on fire

As this might indicate, I’m full of sunshine and light this morning. HA! The muse goes where the muse goes, but I’m still hoping for a better day. 

Thanks for a challenging Sunday Whirl. Check out the word prompts below.

put ’em up!

one day I’ll say my piece

and rise above the horror

one day I’ll speak my mind

and live to see tomorrow

Thanks to the dumpster fire we’re currently living through as well as the following for the word prompts (SPEAK, ONE DAY, and HORROR) that inspired this 22-word … I don’t know what it is: a poem, a promise, a threat??

Anyway, visit their sites for better examples.

she said but he said-Flashback Friday

For Fandango’s Flashback Friday, I reached back to the days when we still thought that maybe there might be lasting consequences for the lies.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — September 26th

This was originally published in September, 2018.

she said but he said

wilting efforts and fresh lies

laid bare to the world

brown wooden cubes

Flash Fiction, tutto e niente

always a bridesmaid

As Jenny took in her reflection, she made a noise that sounded like a cross between a growl and a barking seal. How could she! The haphazard array of polka dots made her look like a giant allergic reaction. This was absolutely the last time she’d ever agree to be a bridesmaid!    

Esther asked us to tell a story in 52 words using the following words in it somewhere:

  • SEAL
  • GROWL
  • ALLERGIC
  • HAPHAZARD
  • POLKA
