Haiku & Other Poetry, Random Rants, tutto e niente

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

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

 

Flash Fiction, Random Rants, tutto e niente

tomorrow is another day

Determined to shake off the misery for just one day, Margaret vowed to adhere to her self-imposed 24-hour digital detox. Word puzzles filled her first hour. A quick trip to Trader Joe’s for flowers was next. All was good, but then she caught sight of her woebegone expression in the revolving door. Without thinking, she clicked on Insta and the dopamine rush cast a temporary “woe-be-gone” enchantment. Damn, she had failed again! Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.
