Congratulations!
Thank you, tailor STATELY! And cacian!
The next topic is "Autumn".
Off and on, I am unable to post, but today it seems to be working.
Homeless in the Ocean of Love
May homelessness be everywhere
With open door
With open heart
Without a floor
To fall apart.
Should I be blessed to find you there
May homelessness be...
I like that one about the lightbulb and his girlfriend and going to the petrol station for an expensive dinner and how to keep score in golf--I've never understood golf--and all the rest of them.
"The Event" was meant to be something ominous, but unspecified. I was thinking I should have used a different name, perhaps, "world war".
There's another prompt. This time it is "bottleneck":...
I can't remember that Hokey Cokey either. Good point about golf and baseball.
I agree, Danik, and I might have been able to squeeze that in even with 99 words.
At Carrot Ranch they are preparing what they call the "rodeo" which starts in October and has some preliminaries...
Aretha Franklin performed a great cover of Adele's song, "Rolling in the Deep". Thanks for linking that, Danik! I liked how it blended into "Ain't No Mountain High Enough".
...
Sounds tasty, desiresjab.
Another prompt this week. The theme is "comet". Restrictions: 99-words, no more, no less, excluding title. You don't need a blog to submit, just place the story in a...
Green and Sky Blue
Summer’s reckless with its love of green.
The sky gives blue so bright it goes unseen.
We breathe each day enclosed in soothing light
While night awaits with stars and dark...
Happy birthday!
I prefer seeing her having a happy life especially since the real events could have been more tragic.
I missed last week's story, but the new prompt Carrot Ranch came out recently. It is "yellow...
Thank you for posting your poems, cacian and tailor STATELY!
I liked the sound reading of both of your poems. I also liked both cacian's combination of light and darkness to make the perfect...
I agree that it is good not to kill off the characters.
The new prompt arrived yesterday and is about someone who was lost and could not be found. They named the lake Fanny Hooe after her. ...
Thank you, tailor STATELY! Now we have a real contest with two entries. The last day to enter is Tuesday, July 31st. I will announce the winner on Wednesday.
One interesting thing about requiring exactly 99 words (excluding title) is it forces one to focus.
There is a new challenge at Carrot Ranch with the prompt "broken fence". ...
Thank you, cacian! The contest has begun!
Thank you, tailor STATELY! And cacian and Danik! I like LeGuin's description of "entrainment" as "economical laziness".
The next subject will be "light" in any sense of that word whether as...
I like catastrophising if I could only spell it. Good one about those roses.
Your right about those names. I don't think about them much except to pick common, but different ones. The name should help to describe the figure and "Joe" suggests just about every male.
...
I liked the ones explaining the difference between laughing and smiling, those escalators and stairs, those others that we learn from and those women rolling their eyes and all the rest.
I like how pancake day crêpes up and how one should stay up and fight.
Music
It’s sound that turns our hearts around.
Rejecting silence from the ground
It shares its voice to praise the day
As we agree and go its way.
Congratulations, tailor STATELY! Thank you, cacian! I am glad you liked those last two lines.
I am glad you liked that, Danik. With only 99 words almost everything has to be left out, but I kind of like leaving things out.
The new prompt went up yesterday. It is "bouquet". ...
