The second stanza would be CCCd. The third, EEEf. And so on. Meaning nothing in one stanza must rhyme with anything in the previous stanza. The fourth line does not rhyme. My cheeks flare red, that being said, there is no dread in seeing you again. Give love a chance,Continue reading “Embarrassment”

A Mother’s Love
Written for https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2023/10/19/reenas-xploration-challenge-303/ A Mother’s Love The moment you were put in my arms, I knew being a mother was special. You couldn’t smile, not yet. That didn’t bother me in the least. You gripped on to my fingers like a boxer and I was hooked. It was like all my pain drifted into anotherContinue reading “A Mother’s Love”
Dangerous
Written for https://alwayswrite.blog/2023/10/18/wq-42life-aint-no-crystal-stair-its-dangerous/ The world was a dangerous place. It was the reason Terry didn’t venture out of her house. She brought an exercise bike off Amazon and could keep fit without stepping foot outside her front door. If she wanted company, she could always talk to Fred. When he brought back her shopping, sheContinue reading “Dangerous”

There was a binge box set and a glass of wine with her name on it. Settled on the sofa, with a warm blanket, she had everything she needed. It was a long week at work,Continue reading “Binge Box Set”
Expensive
Written in response to https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/10/16/share-your-world-16th-october/ What is your favourite dessert? As a hot dessert, I love treacle pudding with lots of custard. I could easily eat a whole one on my own. Cold, it has to be cheesecake. Again, I couldn’t stop at one slice. Do you still use cash to pay forContinue reading “Expensive”
Birthday Treat
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ Sarah hid behind the balloons, all the smiling faces giving an air of happiness. Her little girl liked Baby shark, and she couldn’t afford the fancy birthday cakes, or themed parties. The balloons she got off Facebook Marketplace. The paint was free from the same site. Painting the wall, was easy. SheContinue reading “Birthday Treat”
Gallery

Every time he took a life, he painted her picture. Not an exact likeness, that would be stupid. In each of those pictures was an item they owned. Whether it be an earring, a hairContinue reading “Gallery”
