The Word of the Day Challenge: Shine

On the table
waiting
will she come
everything is ready
what to have
biscuits
scones
kettle boils
straighten the cloth
the pot shines
polished
is she here
coffee
or tea
sugar
do I have sugar
I want to please
I want to shine
waiting
was that the gate
spoons
don’t forget
napkins
folded again
will she come
the door
open
looking
waiting
shine the pot
gleaming
straighten the cloth
I want to shine
for her

Also for Sarah’s 30 Days 30 Songs

Another of the songs I play all the time. Let’s dance around the kitchen
Some places can’t see this video so I’ll add another just in case

The road to where

Published on by bushboy3 Comments

The word prompt from Frank at Dutch goes the Photo: Road
The Ragtag Daily Prompt Tuesday: Lost

Is this the road?
Should we come this way
Let’s stop and see
That sign, over there
But I can’t find that
On the map
Don’t worry
Look at the flowers
Don’t worry
Stupid map
We’ll find it
Perhaps another sign
We’ve stopped
We’ve come this way
Is this the road?

Dream

Published on by bushboy14 Comments

The Daily Word Prompt from Sheryl: Dream

Sitting back
making myself comfortable
waiting for
the hairdresser
to get ready.
“So sir”
she said
after a while
“Have you had
a dream recently”.
I wonder why
she would ask
as just last night
a dream
so vivid
so real
still rang within
my head.
“Funny you should ask”
I said
“A dream that
seemed almost
familiar”.
“Perhaps”
she said
“that it could almost be
Deja Vu”?
“Maybe” I said
as hair fell
about my shoulders.
“Can you tell me”
she said
scissors flashing
“I would like
to know as
I collect dreams”
“Of course”
I said
“My dream
was that
I was a monkey”
“Interesting”
she said
“But”
I said
“I dreamt
I was getting
my hair cut
by a monkey”
“That was
a strange dream”
she said
as she filed
my dream away,
brushing my hair.

Chair

The Friday Friendly Photo Challenge: Chair

There was a chair
over there
beside the drawer
20180116_110546.jpg
Now the chair
is on the floor
near the door20180116_110729.jpg
Oh dear that chair
has found a pair
tumbled on the floor20180116_111106.jpg
A jumble-tumble
stack of chairs
heading down the stairs
20180116_111208.jpg
Look I can see the floor
The stack of chairs
growing more20180116_111126.jpg

At last the pile of chairs
is no more
just being chairs
on the floor

Spontaneity

Published on by bushboy17 Comments

The Wednesday Word Prompt: Spontaneity

How often do you
pick up a pen
find the paper
and spontaneously
let your mind
just draw
lines that travel
lines that are free
lines that join
shapes created
I see people
a hug
I see a bed
I see
oh what
is that what you saw
the lines that bend
the lines that shape
floors
walls
ceilings
three dimensions
follow a line
until exhaustion
rest
pick up a pen

Kate’s Friday Fun: Luxury

Luxury
First Class
a seat on a train

speeding along
countryside whizzing past
enjoy the sights
read a book
“Vorresti un giornale, signore”

snack on the food
from a trolley
coming down the aisle
or perhaps
Peut-être un vin madame
