The Christmas Sweater

The Christmas Sweater           Christmas eve for some is when we dig out all of our stuff: Christmas decorations, Christmas lights, Christmas trees, Christmas recipes, Christmas cards, Christmas movies, Christmas books, and my personal favorite, my Christmas sweater. Some people spend a lot of money on Christmas shopping; buying Christmas gifts … Continue reading The Christmas Sweater

Yearning for Youth

Before we grew old we used to be young Not caring about stupid things we’d done We challenged the world and played life as a game We were a force to be reckoned, no one could tame Rules were broken and laws didn’t hold We didn’t care our shoulders were cold. Youth is stupidity let […]

X

Seriously I hate the letter X. Most of the words that begin with X I can’t even pronounce let alone comprehend the meaning. Today my mood could be symbolized as an X because someone wasn’t doing their job so now I have to spend my morning getting it corrected so I’m cheating on today’s post […]

Writing on the Wall

  I was tidying up my work space before I opened up word to start typing and I had to flip the blotter paper on my desk.  I always say “don’t start work in a messy work area”.  I hate a messy blotter.  I used to tell my kids all the time, in fact I […]

V-ger V-ger V-ger

  Tall Cool ☺ne and I hear V-ger, v-ger v-ger just about every morning while having our coffee. Not sure what kind of birds they are singing v-ger, v-ger, v-ger,  but we joke about it daily.  V didn’t want me to be creative today so I’m wing-dinging it. I thought about vomiting vicious and vindictive vocals  and Tall Cool […]

Tautology

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times Writing poetry is making up rhymes Expressing our sentiments and thoughts in prose In a stance when it’s read rhythmically it flows.   Not everyone shares in this labor of love If the fingers don’t fit they can’t wear the glove   We rant […]

She’s Wicked Smart

(But uglier than a mud fence) To coin a phrase, it’s a dog eat dog world out there.  Every cloud has a silver lining and every dog has its day.  Mark my words the name of the game is not to jump on the bandwagon and just between you and me I don’t mean to flog […]

Reflections on Reality and Relationships

Hello fellow bloggers, writers, and readers. Today as I sit down to write my daily challenge I’m facing the same sort of nearing the end of the journey roadblock jitters that I confronted last year at this time. I don’t want the challenge to end because I feel like I won’t be inspired enough to […]

Quadruped Quimby

While planting in the yard I noticed a hole, Remote and camouflaged, near a kobold knoll. The dirt was pulled out in a small little mound Deep inside for a quadruped, a home had been found Never would have noticed this queer tiny friend But the roses were blooming and I needed to tend When […]
