I am no master but I try my best
Each new day a mighty test
To keep the tenet of the pack
Looking forward, no looking back
Standing up to what I know
Watching those around me grow
Positivity kept in check
Negativity, no way in heck
And through my laughter and my tears
I think about all the years.

Sammi is the host of this weekly writing prompt:
You’re not like me
I’m not like you
We’re like two peas
In a pod that grew
In some old garden
Along an empty path
So overgrown
Mother Nature’s wrath.
Someday our seeds
Might come together fine
But for now
I wish you’re mine

Word Prompt
Challenge
To superimpose that she had real big feet
Lucy used towels and a comfortable sheet
They were not that ugly, they were clean but she knew
That if people saw something she’d see something too
She didn’t want help nor some clean soft woolen socks
She only wanted to be known for her long golden locks

Is a water bird avian?
Using the water as its resting place
Using the sky as its place to soar
Who decides which suits it best?
Is it piscine?

Sammi has us writing in 76 words this week. https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2022/08/20/weekend-writing-prompt-273-alcazar/
Atop a hill and along the sea
The Alcazar stands watch of thee
To find the path to lead you home
Although is stands empty, alone
For in this palace made of stone
Is history filled with blood and bone
Fighting for the familys’ goods
Just rock in water replacing woods
Find this palace, find your space
Be mesmerized by just this place
For in the halls and in the air
Spirits roam without a care

One night in late July
We had a jamboree
Firecrackers fly
Song in harmony
The melody was right
The group in unison
Festivities with all
Automatic fun
Scintillating stars
Burning in night skies
Beauty is exploding
A wonder for our eyes.

Waking up to a beam of sunlight warming your skin chilled by the damp night air that had settled. Hearing the birds chirping, singing sweet songs, no words, just beauty in the sound.
Planning the day, thinking of friends, loving life as is.
Finding the beauty
Knowing simple things are rare
Within and without.

omphalos – the center or hub of something.
**The following poem is based on real events from last night**
At precisely three am, I heard the blasted sound
croaking in my pool, my mind goes spinning ’round
How did they get back here?
I didn’t ask them back.
But apparently my pool is the omphalos of their pack.
I raced right out the door, the ground coffee in my hand
Ready to fight the frogs off, ready to take my stand
With a flicker of the pool lights
And a switch on at the pump
It would not take them long to see they had better start to jump

Don’t dress for me
In underclothes
That show your skin
Head to your toes
So I can see
What you do hide
On the in
And outside
Be provocative
With someone new
This lonely sole
Is overdue
For personal
And life long dreams
I know you know
What I mean
So I bid goodbye
I am no fool
Find yourself someone new

Sammi Cox hosts the Weekend Writing Prompt: https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/category/weekend-writing-prompt/
: governed or characterized by caprice : IMPULSIVE, UNPREDICTABLE
Capricious am I
I zoom through the store
Needing nothing
Needing more
Finding an aisle
So many clues
Looking for clothing
My next pair of shoes
Gadgets and gizmos
Just nothing that’s broke
You should see my closet
This isn’t a joke
Nothing I need
No money to pay
I’ll be back
Some other day
