Welcome to “The Numbers Game #103”. Today’s number is 225 (posted by Forgottenman for Judy). To play along, go to your photos file folder and type that number into the search bar. Then post a selection of the photos you find that include that number and post a link to your blog in my Numbers Game blog of the day. If instead of numbers, you have changed the identifiers of all your photos into words, pick a word or words to use instead, and show us a variety of photos that contain that word in the title. This prompt will repeat each Monday with a new number. If you want to play along, please put a link to your blog in comments below. Here are my contributions to the album.

Tonight’s solution was to remove the planter on the left and substitute a lava stone molcajete with two carved stones inside to break up all the rectangular shapes. .

“Hearts” For The Sunday Whirl 375

5 Replies

Hearts

Hearts on hooks sweep back and forth
from east to west to south to north,
hung on chains where they are caught,
dizzy from what fate has wrought.
While other shocked hearts steam and swell,
 bound tight to sticks in their own hell.
Whether held by chain or stock,
hearts the world over feel the shock
while you, I hope, possess a heart
that’s been free from the very start.

For The Sunday Whirl 735 the prompts are: hook sway hearts strip chain dizzy sweep you stick swell steam shock

“The Usual Stuff” for SOCS

7 Replies

The Usual Stuff

I’ve had enough
of the usual stuff––
wars, tsunamis
murdered mommies
global warming
cancers forming
mad religions and heretics
engineering our genetics
drug cartels
emptying wells
mounting debt
nuclear threat

I hate to say it
but every day it
is getting worse
this global curse
Presidents who line their pockets,
turning food stamps into rockets
and human capers
in all the papers
so all in all
it’s an easy call
I find less friction
in reading fiction!

The SOCS prompt is “Usual.”

2. What is a pavlova? Dad’s fifth wife.
3. What is meant by purge? The irrepressible need  to urinate.
4. What is meant by purse? The poet Shelley’s first name. His second name was Bysshe.
5. What is a crash? The remains of a psychic after cremation.
6. What is a creche? Mr. Gueverra’s birthplace.
7. What is a symbol? Not exactly the seed pod of  cotton, but very close to it.
8. What is a cymbal? Not exactly a sphere, but very close to it.
9. What is lichen? Midway between a hatin’ and a lovin’.
10. What is a lychee? Guevera, when he is sheltered from the wind.

Here are this week’s Fibbing Friday questions. The theme this week is Say What?
Thanks to Forgottenman for not only remembering to remind me about Fibbing Friday, but for setting it up for me to answer. Now that is a friend!
