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!

Lazy Day

The clarity of my ambition is often outmatched by the tenacity of my laziness.

I am feeling really really really lazy today, so thanks to Linda for the excuse to just Write One Line and to FOWC and Sheryl at One Daily Word Prompt for the word prompts (clarity/ambition) that perfectly fit my mood!

And oops-sorry I messed up the original link/name for the Daily Word Prompt

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!
