Extremely late post
Refrain head of class week boast

Uncertain pingback access
Reversal bottom top process

Sheer luck mid-week address thankful remain up
Yeah, still time recover self – assignment makeup

Prompt enjoyable week-end writing exercise
Procrastinate excuse minimize follow self-criticize

A household popular cookware party online
Search pages items purchase personal hard find

Cooking for one often challenge necessities buy
Especially during down-size actual needs supply

Luck for host found few useful items
Desire app usage pay online not always welcome

Little struggle transaction finally complete
Another win for me – receive e-mail receipt

Following morn surprise text raffle winner be
Sheer luck smiles accompany double dose tea.

Difficult Times

Unbelievable!!

Sitting before computer feeling numb

Decorated Police Sergeant crossed over

Age 52 battle with Covid-19 succumb

Those left behind now broken-hearted

Grief journey begins mourning departed

A firm believer in the Lord questions

Online she watches funeral procession

For those who actually live with someone

Give thanks no idea feeling nights lonesome

Please don’t complain about caddy stuff

Result older woman possibility high throw up

Those who have lost loved ones understand me

Fact two children reside in Heaven unknowns quickly flee

Lately I wonder why God chose a keep me here plan

Renewed zest for living follow major operation stolen

Prepared emotionally,, spiritually obvious not chosen time

Aftermath prisoner intrusive thoughts spite ne’er commit crime

Down-trodden broken-hearted alone this cruel world daily face

Ask Lord reveal reason why actual timing deceit surface

Anger, bitterness ‘n resentment overwhelmed fight depression

Inner struggle desire overcome worse should go route confession

No idea if occasional writing reading between lines posts still therapeutic

Guess best keep quiet refrain reveal truth late stage in life serves no purpose

To divulge dirty secrets cause much personal familial strife and critique

My cross to bear non-wish others burden thanks to real life reveal composer

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!
