Creative Colours
Written in response to https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2023/03/02/reenas-xploration-challenge Another way, having to live in a world where the colour bleached slowly in front of my eyes. One day, having beauty in glorious hues, the next. Every day different. Patches of grey, like little flies I couldn’t get rid of. The next, larger, my peripheral vision without substance. ItContinue reading “Creative Colours”
Sunset
Our prompt from https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2023/03/01/rdp-wednesday-sunset/ for today is “sunset” Slowly sifting into the distance, the sun bid farewell to the day. Using a well meaning glow, it moved across the horizon. It was something special, she wanted to remember. Watching it drift, with Graham at her side. Her safety holding her with a windswept cuddle. SheContinue reading “Sunset”

Strong Female
The question this week from https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/02/28/truthful-tuesday-28th-february/ is Would you like to be famous? And if so, what for? I am an author, and like any writer I would like my books to be successful. I’m not sure I could cope with the fame that went with it. I’m not very good at talking with people,Continue reading “Strong Female”
Onion is Golden
Inspiration from my poem is the humble onion and #99 word stories from Carrot Ranch. Golden onion, a humble beginning, growing under the ground, So many dishes you just make better just by being there. The burger in a roll, fried and so neat, or in a spaghetti bolognaise, you cannot be beat. In sauces,Continue reading “Onion is Golden”

Mother’s Day
My post is written today for https://lightmotifs.wordpress.com/2023/02/27/fandangos-flash-fiction-challenge-208/ Mother’s Day, and gifts from her daughter, son and granddaughter were placed gently on her wooden table. Roses, pink, her favourite colour. A jar, full of sweets, and a note pad. She loved writing stories, especially loving those books with space to create something out of nothing. TheContinue reading “Mother’s Day”
A Friendly Chat
Written in response to https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ Do you see little brother, I am all knowing, and all seeing. I was born first, don’t ever forget that. I have my toys. Sharing! You have to ask. If you don’t, see that big sea out there. I’ll put you in a little boat and push you away. YouContinue reading “A Friendly Chat”
Prestigious
Written in response to https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/author/talesfromthemindofkristian/ Prestigious, the invitation, on silk paper was the best a girl could receive. The prize of the year, and she had nothing to wear. It was a surprise, but a great surprise. She looked into her wardrobe, wondering what she could wear. A trouser suit, a black dress, or aContinue reading “Prestigious”
