Menu
This week from https://fivedotoh.com/2023/07/18/truthful-tuesday-dinner-party/ You are having a few friends over for a dinner party. Do you let them know the menu in advance (in case of any allergies or dislikes), or prepare a three course meal with wine for each course and hope everyone enjoys it? First of all, I wouldn’t be doing theContinue reading “Menu”
Robin
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ The imayo is comprised of four 12-syllable lines.

Hiatus?
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ I tell my readers I will be away, but don’t make a big thing of it. The only time I stop blogging is when I go on holiday, or I need to take a break. I’ve not really been on a hiatus, but in some ways it would be a good ideaContinue reading “Hiatus?”

Young men in the prime of their life. Fighting for freedom and loved ones at home. Young men, who look to a future, where freedom is the key to a happier world. Young men, laying under a field of red poppies, who gave their life for our freedom. I thank those young men for allowingContinue reading “Freedom”
Alone
My take on https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2023/07/15/weekend-writing-prompt-320-dejected/ Dejected, alone, without a permanent home, strangers they will either frown, or pity me as they look down.
