Sundae on a Sunday

Written for Wordle # 280 and https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/ A sundae, always on a Sunday. Bless the pool of multi-coloured sludge, mixed together in a child’s memory. Little silver platters full of hot, fudgy, pancakes. Covered in maple syrup. Tiny sprinkles on top like pixie butterflies in my stomach

Birth Mother

Written for Awards and Nominations What do you see # 144 and our host https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ I sit between worlds, watching. A thin layer of dust separates two dimensions. Two versions, of one person, and only the Elfin can see them born, grow, and change. Mostly, they stay the same. Sometimes they go to different places,Continue reading “Birth Mother”

Puddle Playing

My inspiration from Crimson’s Creative Challenge. Whose idea was it to take that shortcut? Across the marshy seas. I almost lost a shoe there, in the zero temperature degrees. I don’t want to play this game, my mummy won’t be pleased.

It’s All Abstract

A word prompt from https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/ Dana sat on the plastic seating area, and looked at the painting, supposedly worth one million pounds. She tilted her head to the left, and to the right. There was nothing discernible between the splodges. The more she looked at it the less she understood. ‘I see you’re looking atContinue reading “It’s All Abstract”

Besties

I wrote this poem a few years ago for a writing class I attended at the time. It is about the day I met my bestie Theresa. It was my first day at secondary school, and I remember thinking, she looks friendly. I took a chance, and forty-five years later we are still besties. AContinue reading “Besties”

Truth

‘There’s an element of truth to what you said, but I think you’re seeing it through rose coloured glasses.’ David blinked, at his teacher, and to be honest didn’t understand a word she said. It was the same when Mummy asked him to pull his socks up. He wasn’t wearing any socks at the time,Continue reading “Truth”

Thursday Special on a Friday

COVE DEBONAIR GIGANTIC TEXTURE WINDOW Written for https://bopaula.com/2022/07/22/thursdays-special-pick-a-word-july-2022/. A sheltered cove, in the middle of nowhere. A beautiful piece of nature, debonair cliffs gazing down at the gigantic waves. Crashing against his weak defences. Charlotte snapped picture after picture, and was always in awe of nature. A window in time, and the soft texture ofContinue reading “Thursday Special on a Friday”

Back to my Childhood

This week’s prompt from https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/88281768 is: https://wordpress.com/tag/irememberwhen 1) When you were a kid, did you like your name? Would you have changed it if you could? Do you like it now? I don’t mind my name, although it would have been nice to have a middle name. 2) As a kid, what always brought a smileContinue reading “Back to my Childhood”

Donald, Daffy, a Waddle of Ducks

The questions today from https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2022/07/22/fibbing-friday-22nd-july/ made me giggle. 1. What do Donald and Daffy have in common? They are both prone to anger issues and have taken part in groups to help them relax. They’re doing much better now, and don’t lose their temper half as much. When one feels like they are going toContinue reading “Donald, Daffy, a Waddle of Ducks”

The Blue Dress

Fandango, and another great prompt. ”Sober”. ‘It doesn’t matter that I’m not sober,’ Sam said. ‘I’ve had a stressful day.’ Maisie shrunk back in the doorway, as she went back to finish tidying the front room. She busied herself with a duster. After everything was done, she picked up two empty cups to put themContinue reading “The Blue Dress”
