Sunday Week in Review – 11 October 2015

Weird week. Crazy crazy busy at my day job. Long hours, squeezing flash fiction and haiku prompts and challenges in during breaks and upon rising and settling in. Midweek I was beginning to think I might not have a creative unprompted thought left in my head. But by week’s end a few beautiful words managed to spill out.

After a week like this, what you get is a cacophony of brain splatter that has no business making any sense at all…and yet, I kind of get what my subconscious is trying to tell me. Busy as it was, it was a very good week. And I’m learning to go with the flow. ☺️

Sunday Week in Review
October 10, 2015

elucidate the fine points
have a listen for yourself.
the orchestra erupted into a cacophony of dissonant notes,
One day he would thank her for leaving.
It was the happiest place she could think of
Hanging on was a bad idea.
The veil is thinning
To be tumescent
Charmed to earth by gravity
free to speak
in bellowing
whispers a
symphony of
tears…
It is no secret
Surrender
“It’s enough.” She lied.

In case you are new here and wonder what the jumbled verse above is all about…

It is my weekly practice to lift a verse or line from each post from the previous week for a collective “look back”. It’s my way of clearing my head so I am open and ready for the coming week.

With that said, I’d like to wish you a great next week! 💕 As for me, I’m planning on fabulous! 😊


Sunday Week in Review – 4 October 2015


It is time again to reflect on the past week. A week drenched in tropical downpours and oceans of tears…a week of innocence lost and lives ended too soon…a week set in the afterglow of a blood moon eclipse.

As I do every week, lifting a verse from each post, one would expect the randomness of each line to be a mismatch of disconnected thoughts, but as often is true, they somehow intertwine to present a coherent review. This week surprised me again in heart-rending poignancy…

A life too soon stilled
an exercise in simplicity
the eclipsing moon-glow swells
to oppose tides of group think…They risked everything for a dream
It wasn’t always so
“I leave all my worldly possessions…”
brain unhinged, delirious
that never ends well
a touch of rebellion…
For all I hear
and all I know
is that the gate
is set to close.
a million tiny deaths…

We can hope for a better next week, lulled by the promise of silver linings. As for me, a simple break in the clouds…a bit of sunlit cerulean peeking through…is enough to energize me, burning off any weariness I might carry from this past week. With that, as another week approaches, I shall set my heart on seeking the light. 😊


Sunday Week in Review – 27 September 2015


It’s that time of the week again! Time to take a few moments to reflect on the ramblings of my monkey-brained mind, and to collect a favorite line from each post to create a collective poem for the week.

Can I just say…I LOVE LOVE LOVE this week’s retrospective verse!!!! Wow! 🙂  Soooo…without further delay, here is a look back!

She wasn’t late.
On some hunter’s wall,
Some say she was as crazy as the cuckoo birds swirling around her long gray locks of hair.
(Life between Parentheses)
pungent, fragrant gold-red death,
scatterings of molecules, a spectrum of prismatic twists, refracted rays,
Brazen spectacles
In truth, it was drama, not death, she craved most.
Wow! I didn’t see that coming!
People are a lot like raindrops,
don’t you think?

…and with that I wish you all peace and safe landings in the coming week. Thanks for stopping by. 😊 Be sure to make a wish under tonight’s full moon eclipse. You never know. It just might come true! 🙂

Sunday Week in Review -20 September 2015

IMG_3195
‘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.
his skin flushed hot with fever…
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.

Sunday Week In Review – 13 September 2015

It’s another Sunday Week in Review…a little exercise I like to do to help me look back at the previous week’s brain spillage to assess what I was thinking throughout the week.

To do this I collect my favorite line from each piece and put it in a collective poem. In the end you sometimes discover that what you thought were random thoughts actually aren’t as random as you thought. 😜

It’s a great way to empty my head for the week ahead. You should try it. It can be rather enlightening!

So…without further ado, I give you this week’s installment…also with my favorite photo with a caption snippet!

Dateline: 13 September 2015

Purgatory doesn’t exist…but Karma sucks.
She’d smile and call me crazy. Perhaps I am, just a touch.
Sweet like vinegar.
Being good is not dependent on perfection.
Bitter frost looms nigh,
Freedom doesn’t exempt us from consequences.
Smiles never lie.
it’s plain to
see, you had me at
“hello”.
So…he sits on Maxwell’s head.
The End
