Written for Welcome to the whirl https://sundaywhirl.wordpress.com/author/undercaws/ A hollow crack, an owl hooted out its warning. The air was heavy with gunpowder, and sacred grounds were being desecrated by bulldozers. Man was in the jungle once more, taking more than they gave. Patches of dry earth, and it tries to regain the power, but itContinue reading “Home”

Time
When did time actually begin? https://fivedotoh.com/2022/08/17/fandangos-provocative-question-178/ and my answer is that, I’m not sure, but does that mean time for human beings, or just time?

Not the seagulls, they were mostly by the sea, although they have come more inland in the last few years. I took my children swimming, when they were younger, and they wouldContinue reading “Feeding The Birds”

This is my home, those I love, live here. It becomes obsessive when next door’s cat chases a pigeon from the dried up lawn, but I don’t care. They tell me toContinue reading “Protect”
Talking Sense
Sadie’s https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ picture prompt from this week. She was drowning, in a sea of total despair, when someone nearby saved her. A young woman, in her early twenties, pulled Tara to the shore, and waited in silence until Clara stopped crying. ‘Why did you save me?’ ‘Because you needed my help.’ Clara looked up toContinue reading “Talking Sense”
