Afternoon social winding down
Guests freezie recipe ask of hostess smiles no frowns.

July 2019 Writing Prompts

B-I-N-G-O

Fast-paced gambling fun
Secure a seat c'mon

Bring a sharpie or personal dauber
Game winner numbered card covers

Attendance usual public activity halls
Enthusiasm winds down game coverall

Recreational weekend event funeral parlor host
Free games, free pizza 'n beverages void ghosts

Anxious moments, memories personal, untold overcame
Participants chose afternoon fun nonetheless remain sane.

Waiting on Heaven

 

Life exists daily basis
What to do, remember faces

Goals been met
One possible yet

Learn 'bout fun apps tech
Listen, trial plus error perfect

Attempt find suitable companion 
Reality unsuccessful compatible land-in

Alone write poems for therapy
Articles, magazines and shelf good reads

Book purchase or occasional library borrow
Romantic poetry and novel lines follow

Dear friends passed on
New acquaintances fun

Enjoyment participate activities
Smorgasbord interesting lovely ladies

Mass pray, sit and think what lies ahead
Unknowns capable do before pronounced dead

Attend weekly meeting few days ago
LCR game play dice around table flow

Day's guest supply women with dollars
Lucky winner gal's purse 10 xs 4 fuller

Speaker group suicide prevention support Samaritans
Informative spoke search volunteers telephones man

Listen depressed callers speak circumstances emotional
Seeking acceptance another human non-critical social

Individuals ignorant flaunt 'have it all' attitude
Lack empathy towards their fellow man's life solitude

Often times life for some certainly appear quite unfair
People wish hear details like spread gossip rarely care

Wise people learn valuable life lesson
Dumb ones brag 'bout worldly possessions

In the end the latter find unable take
Assets to their thousands dollars wake

What's left behind for loved ones cherish
Time well spent and love given prior perish

Unbelievable today wrote semi-morbid poem
Recent events appear set off internal alarm

Like me, Love me or Leave me Alone
People pleaser's final thoughts depart room.
