wisdom blossoming
from an open heart and mind
carries love not hate
Thanks to Sue’s Photo Prompt for today’s inspiration. Visit her site for great writing and the #writephoto rules.

Paris on my Mind
Dreaming of the past
When lanterns blazed the night sky
And stars sparkled bright
Illuming a boundless hope
For tomorrow’s future
In the midst of all the terrible awful horrible things happening in the good ol’ USA, I have been feeling a bit hopeless. I’ve also been thinking (dreaming) of traveling (escaping). Sadly my budget no longer supports much in the way of travel abroad but Linda’s Just Jot January prompt (Paris), courtesy of Forty and Fantastique fit my mood perfectly. And THEN I saw Helene’s What Do You See photo prompt and it all came together.
So thanks to all. GO! Visit their sites for some great writing and the rules to the games.
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
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!
