Restless
Restless
I try to cast the dreams away
but push them off to no avail.
An empty world does not assist
for no one comes to hear my wail.
The walls remain in place around,
muffling the horrid sound
of pleas that come from so far in
that they reveal my secret sin.
I must admit that I cannot remember whose prompt this is and so cannot link it. I started it 11 hours ago, got distracted and then came back to it an hour or so ago and finished the poem. Ever since then, I’ve been trying to find the prompt! I believe it was the photo as I know I didn’t take the picture.
If anyone knows the link to the prompt, please help!!!
ASA Show at the Garden of Dreams, Jan 22, 2023
Click on photos to enlarge.
Today I did a show in the Garden of Dreams—a beautiful Boutique Hotel in Ajijic. It was a show for members of the Ajijic Society of Artists and it was a lovely if long day. I left my house at 7:30, arrived in Ajijic at 8 and set up until 10. Luckily there were young men there to help carry in my tables and chairs and the heavier boxes. The show ran from 10 to 4. As usual with every show I’ve done in my life, I was the first to arrive and the last to leave, but it was a lovely show with nice neighbors and against Yolanda’s sage advice, I did come home with a few purchases, but only three. That’s pretty good for me. I met a number of new friends and renewed contact with some old ones I haven’t seen, sold a few pieces of jewelry and more books and made more money than I spent. I was asked to join a group of artists who visit each others homes to view art collections and that is a pleasing prospect. Above are some of the photos I took of the day.
I somehow erased this post, so I’m reposting it now, 22 months later.
Mystery Succulent, for FOTD Nov 9, 2024
Sandwiched (Optimum Positioning) for SOCS
Sandwiched–(Optimum Positioning)
Under “over” is “between,”
hardly ever heard or seen
because it has “over” on top.
It’s pinned by it so it can’t flop,
and to further stem its flow,
it has “under” down below.
So if you have the chance to tell
the one who chooses where you dwell
what place it is you’d rather go,
you’d best choose “over” or “below!”
For SOCS, the prompt was “Under.” Photo thanks to Unsplash.
