Is it kosher to reblog this poem, “Locked and Unlocked” from four years ago? Here it is. Please click on the link: https://judydykstrabrown.com/2016/04/21/locked-and-unlocked/
Ironic that I just had my hair-grown long all cut off today. This is a poem in honor of both that and the prompt!
For FOWC: Locked
1. What is Mascarpone (From Judy) Cornbread sullied by eye makeup. It was a rushed morning!!! ( That is, I had to apply my eye makeup while I was eating my breakfast.)
2. What is a Marsupial? Similar to chowder served on a space mission.
3. What is a Giblet? A baby gibbon.
4. What is Good Husbandry? Doing the dishes and taking out the garbage.
5. What is Onomatopoeia? What John Lennon said to his wife as he walked into her room in search of his freshly ironed shirt. (Work for it. It’s there!)
6. What is a Glaucus Atlanticus? A gelatinous sea scum sometimes found off the eastern shore of the United States
7. What is a Sunda Colugo? What they call Santa Claus in the Congo
8. What is a Fossa? The petrified remains of a prehistoric sea creature found near Boston.
9. What is Halitrephes Jelly? A lubricant combined with a mouth wash.
10. What is Aliferous? Chant voiced by Cassius Clay’s supporters after he changed his name.
These questions were for Fibbing Friday. Who am I to resist a legitimate fib??? Do you like my new hairdo and my new eyeglasses? Both are a real improvement to my life. Hair off my neck and reading glasses with no Zoe chew marks on the lenses. I’m taking care to always put them in a stiff-hinged case inside a covered basket on my bedside table before I fall asleep so Zoe can’t drag them off down into the garden when she wakes up before I do.

You think I cannot see you behind your curtain blind,
hiding in the shadows. You are the cautious kind.
You drape yourself in darkness, thinking I will not see,
but still the colors of your soul come shining out at me.
Step forward to the lightness. There is no danger here.
There is at least one person who bids you to come near.
Whether bad or good will come from joining life’s mad dance,
you will never know until you choose to take the chance.
The three words for the Three Things Challenge #444this week are: CURTAIN DRAPE BLIND

Marilyn and I were discussing cat paws and I promised to post my favorite paw photos!
I stopped the car and parked to get photos of this beautiful tabachine bush. It was in front of a house in the Raquet Club where I live! I have one like it but not as fully bushed out.

When I drove into the garage today, this is the sight that greeted me front and center!
And here is the rest of the story. . . .

This hibiscus blooms once in a blue moon and usually only one bloom. Luckily I caught it this time!!!
