Door Stops and Unslammed Doors–for RDP and Thursday Doors

14 Replies

My grandmother’s antique flat iron makes a perfect door stop. It came with me to Mexico where it has stopped my bedroom door from slamming countless times when I make the mistake of opening sliders in two different parts of the house. It was so handy, that when I found another one in an antique store in Oaxaca, that I bought it to use on the bathroom door.

The Prompt for Ragtag Daily Prompt is door stop. Also for Thursday Doors.

Setting out
Following the signs.
What can they mean?
Can this be one?
Snake or shard of old ripped canvas?
On the trail again.
More signs
and signs of destruction. Or construction.
a shopping cart and kin.
A greening tricycle,
a bicycle and an old chamber pot,
an almost red wagon,
New porch extension
with evidence of the old one.
and past wild games.
and a stone kid who will never swing in that swing. Unless, perhaps, on Halloween Eve, some trickster relocates him to his desired spot.
And finally, home again.
