Who Am I?
Who Am I?
Am I an expensive ornament
you wear on your arm,
ignoring its effect
on those who stare
and envy you your bling?
Or an appendage—
another arm to fetch and carry
your son and daughter—
all those leftover
parts of you?
Or am I the wallpaper
dressing up the walls around you—
called the culprit by those
who do not know you are the one
who builds the walls?
Prompt words today are wallpaper, appendage, ignore, culprit and expensive. All images from Unsplash.
Autumn Color in Mexico
The most autumn color we get in my part of Mexico is the vibrant African Tulip trees that are in full bloom right now.
For Cee’s Autumn Colors prompt and also in answer to Jez’s fantastic photos of turning trees on his Fan of Autumn 178 Post.

“Fleeting Moments” For Sunday Stills
Fleeting Moments are built into nature as they are into our lives. Be they beautiful memories, unbelievable experiences or disastrous events, they come and they go–often too quickly. Many would be forgotten were it not for the click of a lens. Here are some of mine.

Pretentious Prattle
Pretentious Prattle
Her highfalutin language is torture to absorb.
She calls asbestos “earthflax,” a snow globe a “blizzard orb.”
Her words are too elaborate and to be blunt, untenable.
We find her conversation to be way less than amenable.
In any conversation, she is early to be heard,
but it is the consensus that her comments are absurd.
We wait for her to finish, then calmly leave the table,
reconvening in the garden, without her, if we’re able.
Prompt words are finish, untenable, early, elaborate, earthflax and snow globe. Image by Mona Masoumi on Unsplash.
