The Sunday Whirl-Wordle 593

Todays words:  depths-throw-crow-loss-wispy-sheet-thistle-elder-stalks-crest-sky-tremor

Night to Remember – Night to Forget

fulgent night sky
stone’s throw away
squawk of black crow

dark omen, rumbling noise
unable capture depths of field
distant crest mountain, a tremor

women’s conversation semblance
thistle and celery stalks halts
fear of facing potential loss mounts

hapless, knowing not survival skills
wispy elder flees porch toute-de-suite
indoors grabs oversized satin sheet bizarre, bizarre

One letter per week ~ J

Place:  jungle gym

Emotion: jubilation

Adjective: jovial

Verb: jam-packed

My animal: jay

From my apartment balcony I watched the ‘jay‘ over at the park’s ‘jungle-gym‘ as it
‘jam-packed‘ its beak with acorns.

Colored blue (North American) he and his mate both appeared quite ‘jovial’ pulling
acorns off tree branches.

Yet to witness was their dance of ‘jubilation‘ around the stockpile built with
upwards three thousand small acorns before proceeding to their next chore,
to bury them one by one in different places close to their hoard.

99 Words ~ I’d Rather Be . . .

In love with a person in love with me
No other place on earth ‘I’d rather be’

Dear Lord, I plead grant me a miracle
Decade dates round and round circles

Time passes friends arrive gone soon
Unable understand reason misfortune

Bad things good people thou resonate
Failures versus successes odds postulate

Behavioral patterns time change dream grandiose
Male population present billions inhabit cosmos

Exude warmth radiate confidence double-check
Ne’er again role play thee innocent pencil-neck

Self-care journey exercises journaled full-blown
Honesty practice still best policy thee e’er known

Summer months ahead hopeful become faith over fear winner.

Six Sentence Stories

prompt word: redemption

Near closing time an unkempt older man entered the local can

redemption center store carrying twenty-count super strength

multi-purpose garbage bags chock full of discarded semi-dirty

soda bottles, beer cans and plenty of germs.

Immediately upon spotting the semi-drunk character, the

clerk’s facial smile turned upside down, a new look, a frown

and toute de suite he played quite the disappearing act via

removing himself in record time from the front counter to the

storage room out back in hopes the man would become a

bit befuddled, imagine he’d seen a ghost and run for the hills.

Unfortunate for the clerk, who’d cashed out the drawer early,

his plan backfired when the man started screaming obscenities.

The redemption center walls shook from the sound waves, as

emissions from the unkempt man’s mouth bounced off every

inch of the building’s concrete walls.

Who’d have thought a human’s vocal tone could roar like a lion

or high-powered engine.

It was time for the clerk to place a fake smile on his face, return

to the counter and deal with the situation since the realization

set in the man wasn’t about to leave the premises without a ward

of cash.

SoCS: July 10th 2021

prompt: hope

This morn amid remnants of a tropical storm I was able to access my blog.

To my surprise I found sitting atop my picture an icon I’d used elsewhere in

social media.

All I could hope for was to find an answer to undo this most recent tech

issue.

Fortunately there is a rainbow following the rain (or hopeful will be) and

I can manage to ascertain the cause (or person) responsible for this prank.

Simply 6 Minutes Challenge

First glance of the pic led me to believe this animal species could possibly be the

Vietnamese Orangutan ‘Pongo hooijeri’, an endangered species.

At second glance I took note of the creature’s facial features and oh the long nose

of the rather ugly animal would define it as an ant eater.

An anteater specializes in eating insects.

Although this one is quite gigantic I could’ve used a mini-one earlier this morn.

My urge to pee was greater than my urge to stop the black carpenter ant

(a nervous wreck) made himself at home touring the vanity walking on

numerous personal items.

Void of a long-handled weapon, helpless, I had no choice other than watch

the segmented bugger.

Adamant that ant would soon meet his maker, upon arising after washing my

hands I was on a mission to stop him dead in his tracks.

Success, one less carpenter ant!

Word count: 147 to 150 (if this is inaccurate, blame it on the block editor – tough time.
