SoCS: June 12th 2021

prompt: drive

Finally found drive blog more often
Lucky me wi-fi connection malfunction

Early morn felt pangs internet defeat
Cable provider proud occupant driver’s seat

Amazing technology still scads inability control
Shopping trip cool off cessation feeling blood boil

Creative gal love crochet items since back-in-day
Drive near hour specific brand yarn sale underway

Unfamiliar territory avoid traffic side street turn off
Lucky me, a one-way and ahead approaching car – city cop


Flagged pullover in progress driver warning heeds
Overgrown tree branches hid traffic sign politely she pleads

Rethink out-of-town sales option save shopper oodles cash
Fortunate day honest error, no GPS, result drive humongous laugh.

Golabki (Polish Stuffed Cabbage Rolls)

Prompt Challenge #20 – Banging Out a Dish

What’s for supper?
A daily question posed to mothers

Memories night opted for golabki leftovers
Yesterday’s extra casserole dish no bother

Decision heat low flame on range top
Soon out of nowhere heard large pop

Walk to kitchen found quite exploded mess
Whatever happened unknown must confess

No idea earlier choice outcome be so wrong
Claim stupidity only nobody previous inform

Never place certain heating dishes on range
Potential heated aftermath worse than strange

Clean up process definite took quite some time
Contents cabbage rolls ‘n broken dish sight begrime

Imagine question posed again ‘what’s for supper‘
Answer seek pizza parlor’s menu call in takeout order!

Valentine’s Day – 2021

Compassionate man
Earlier this week text me
Hospitalized complications exam
Worries, intrusive thoughts outcome be

Words written read great concern
Amid penned ones usual pleasantness
Overall picture painted thus far bit grim
Five years platonic friends shared secrets life’s messes

Questions posed self remain unanswered
Perhaps, what ifs dance for hours through thou head
Prayers unspoken hopeful quality medical services rendered
Unfathomable good-hearted soul alone lies day ‘n night hospital bed

Valentine’s day amorous couples fortunate observations
Beautiful aromatic flowers, boxed chocolates dinner for two
Types love Bible states four, psychology today states seven
Five years shared goodwill thankful ne’er led to precarious situation

Today’s morn’s text contents words inclusive quality time together
Fact resembles deceitful husband reason never consider love relationship
Decade alone still constant overthink feel down the road both deserve better
Proceed with caution unwilling sabotage priceless half-decade friendship
