(A note to earlier visitors to this Haiku. I was not satisfied with the ending. Just a tweak more punctuation needed. 😊 c’est fini!)


Stood Up – A Six Word Story

Delay” is the prompt for Ben Nicholson’s Six Word Story Challenge #6. I happen to believe his example is pure perfection! You should check it out HERE. Bravo Ben! 

Because I love this challenge I’m giving it a go…😊

Sunday Week in Review -20 September 2015

‘Twas a rousing week of colorful fiction, vexing rants and irony. True to form, for this weekly exercise I present a line from each post that grabbed my attention, in retrospect. Though the captured verses are not necessarily meant to make sense from one line to the next, it is an uncanny surprise when they do!
Onward then, to next week. The sun is shining brilliantly today. I consider that a very good omen indeed!

Week of September 14th
Thanks for applying. We’ll call you.

She decided to have a bit of fun with what little time she had left.
“Be right back. Cut the deck three times. Sugar?”
before you get us both in a heap of trouble
Sometimes the truth is not pretty.
No one is list’ning.
Kindly keep all rational thoughts to yourself,
we’ve sold our souls and cannot see how in the dark we are.

In Darkness

cropped-cropped-unnamed.png
We are a generation born
into a world of artificial
light, of neon gas, fluorescent
tubes and bulbous globes of amber
hue. Our restless nights are
peppered by the glaring strobe of
LED’s. Some of us will never
see the dazzling, unobstructed
view of distant stars along the milky
way. We boast of our inventiveness
to cheat the limits of the day,
to toil instead from dawn to murky
dusk, through nights that glow in
eerie candescence, oblivious,
we’ve sold our souls and cannot
see how in the dark we are.

Until Further Notice…A Memorandum

We regret to inform you that Reason
is on holiday. Kindly keep all rational
thoughts to yourself, unless of course,
you are given to outbursts of absurdity,
fueled by heavy doses of fear, ignorance
or religiousity. These are the only views
we are currently entertaining.

If you are a member of the thinking
minority, our sincere condolences.
We recently received a postcard from
Reason…from someplace called
Over the Edge. It reads,
“Wish you were here.”
