Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/my-prompts-2/ I cannot remember names, and when I am at work, calling someone Miss or Sir helps when I forget. I would like to think it is my age, but I have never been good with names. Numbers are easier. I had a password, that was numbers and random letters, and I didn’tContinue reading “Memory”

Be Proud
Written for https://lindaghill.com/2026/10/16/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-october-17-2026/ During my GCSE English course, in 2020, I needed to complete a speaking and listening pitch.

It was only three minutes, but it feltContinue reading “Be Proud”

Hold
Written for https://skepticskaddish.com/category/poetry/poetry-prompt/ Where did you go to when you closed your eyes?

Prefer Spring
Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2026/10/12/share-your-world-12th-october-2026/ 1. What is your favourite season? I prefer spring because of the daffodils and pink blossom.

Where weContinue reading “Prefer Spring”
Laugh
Written for https://sundaywhirl.wordpress.com/2026/10/11/wordle-778/ There is always comfort in hard working squirrels wanting to collect food for the winter. They anchor against the branches, not living in the moment, but searching for nuts. Nature finds a way to keep them alive. Automatic win, and they can laugh, because they will be safe.

Stroke of Love
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ Life rushes across golden flames like a tinderbox parading its beauty to the trees beyond. To close my eyes, as the boat is drifting, I can review the emotions of my day. I imagine a God, changing the seasons with a stroke of his love. Our planet, in a universe so largeContinue reading “Stroke of Love”
Follow Myself
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/my-prompts-2 The question this week is – do I follow my own blog. No, because I didn’t know this existed. Although it makes sense. As Sadje says, it helps to find out if you have made mistakes, and correct them. I might start following my blog. It would be good to see whatContinue reading “Follow Myself”
