One Road

Photographer Unknown

This is one of the streets in Pompeii that  was buried in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in

AD 79.

Do you know what it reminds me of?

A quiet little street that runs through the Basin Street Cemetery in New Orleans.

 

Choir of Crickets

Word of the Day Challenge: Hilarious

 

Franz von Stuck

 

When I tripped

when I fell

when I mispronounced a word

counted up the numbers wrong

Hilarious to everybody there

 

When I wore my hair wrong

chose the wrong clothes

drove the wrong car

saw the wrong movies, read the wrong books

it was oh so very hilarious to everybody there

 

Once I was right and

no one was there

to see it, to hear it,  to cry

Hey! That’s not hilarious

except for a choir of crickets who happily chirped hurrah.

 

Let Me Put It This Way

Word of the Day Challenge: Phrase

 

March is here,

Spring is on it’s way

Marshmallow peeps are on the shelves and I

think that love is in the air.

 

I hope I get my Fauci Ouchi soon, before I get bit by any deadly bugs.

But March is here and Spring is on it’s way

hoozah and hurray!

Halloween is 242 days away!

The Tease
Franz Von Stuck

March winds and May fun, makes clothes white and maid’s dun

The Song of Me

Word of the Day Challenge: Theme

Andrea Kowch

Superbia,  Ira,  Corruption of the mind

attach my skin to muscle, my muscle to bone

my soul to my heart

together

a soundtrack playing on a warped record with the  stereo needle

stuck in a  groove

a

song sung off key with reckless abandon

the story of me.
