Reblog: Nerve

Good afternoon again, LifeLessons readers, OkcForgottenMan here again. Judy is in the fifth day of her writers retreat in Colima, and I’m still here reblogging some of her older poems. It’s a fun gig for me as I stroll back through her blog archive, wondering which to select. I’ve done this before, and I’m looking at her posts from 2016 this go-around.

My first selection today (Yes – I’ll reblog a couple more this afternoon/evening) is “Curve“, with a couple rather striking photos. I hope y’all enjoy the read!

Reblog: Drop It!!!

Good evening, LifeLessons readers, OkcForgottenMan here again. Judy’s writers retreat continues, and I’m still here reblogging some of her older poems. It’s a fun gig for me as I stroll back through her blog archive, wondering which to select. I’ve done this before, and I’m looking at her posts from 2016 this go-around.

My final selection today is “Drop It!!!“, from mid-March, 2016. Looks like she really got into the single-word-prompt groove really quickly back then! I hope y’all enjoy.

Reblog: Half a Love Story

Good afternoon, LifeLessons readers, OkcForgottenMan here again. Judy is in the fourth day of her writers retreat in Colima, and I’m still here reblogging some of her older poems. It’s a fun gig for me as I stroll back through her blog archive, wondering which to select. I’ve done this before, and I’m looking at her posts from 2016 this go-around.

My second selection today (I’ll reblog one more this evening) is “Half a Love Story“, wherein Judy has found that she can write lovely words to a one-word prompt! I hope y’all enjoy.

Reblog: One Word? Absurd!

Good afternoon, LifeLessons readers, OkcForgottenMan here again. Judy is in the fourth day of her writers retreat in Colima, and I’m still here reblogging some of her older poems. It’s a fun gig for me as I stroll back through her blog archive, wondering which to select. I’ve done this before, and I’m looking at her posts from 2016 this go-around.

My first selection today (Yes – I’ll reblog a couple more this afternoon/evening) is “One Word? Absurd!“. It amuses me how it takes some people awhile to adjust to new circumstances. In early March, 2016, when Judy first posted this poetic rant, the folks that posted the Daily WordPress Prompts had just switched from full-sentence (sometimes full-paragraph) prompts to one-word prompts. Judy, as you might discern from the subtle subtext of this poem, was not entirely happy. I hope y’all enjoy!

Silk Floss Trees

Reblog: The Secret Life of Gardeners

Good evening, LifeLessons readers, OkcForgottenMan here again. Judy continues her writers retreat in Colima, and I’m still here reblogging some of her older poems. It’s a fun gig for me as I stroll back through her blog archive, wondering which to select. I’ve done this twice before, and I’m looking at her posts from 2016 this go-around.

I just love this poem “The Secret Life of Gardeners” that Judy posted in March, 2016. I feel it always deserves a reblog. I hope y’all feel it as well. Please enjoy.

Reblog: Kicking the Bucket

Good morning (for a change), LifeLessons readers, OkcForgottenMan here again. Judy is in her third day at a writers retreat in Colima, and I’m still here reblogging some of her older poems. It’s a fun gig for me as I stroll back through her blog archive, wondering which to select. I’ve done this twice before, and I’m looking at her posts from 2016 this go-around.

My first selection today (Yes – I’ll reblog another later this afternoon/evening) is “Kicking the Bucket” from January, 2016. I’d call it a whimsical rant. What would you call it? I hope y’all enjoy.
