Those at the bottom want to be on top, but when they get there, they tend to forget how it felt to be down there.

Expose my heart

through every conscious,
awakened pore of each moment.

The air is so crispy
The birds are quite chirpy
The magic of nature abounds
As I imbibe all the sounds.

After reading my dear Van’s ice-cream truck post yesterday, I was inspired to post this photo.
It wasĀ taken last weekend. A mango sorbet purchased from an ice-cream truck at the park. Yummy Ā š

Never leave me lonely
With words left unsaid
You walk away into the dark
Like a mist, that melts away.
I like rain, but not lightning. It still scares me especially when it crackles fiercely, though I wear my big mama panties, grit my teeth and pretend to my children that I ain’t scared. I prefer to be ensconced in my warm abode during such weather. Preferably, with a mug of warm cocoa or tea and some biscuits.
When possible, I always prefer to be ensconced in my warm abode during such weather. Preferably, with a mug of warm cocoa or tea and some biscuits.
Now Ronovan’sĀ prompt makes me hungry and desirous of someĀ gentle rainfall.
Huddling in bed under my cosy duvet
I enjoy a blissful read
forgetting the fierce lightning and heavy rain.

Saw this idle signpost along a path and I couldn’t help wondering what was on the mind of the carpenter when he nailed it together.
The other side was equally upside down. Maybe too much to drink or lack of sleep at the point of construction š

Dance to your heartās delight my African child, until echoes of your stamping feet, beating heart; bright eyes, smiling lips; and waving hands, resonates over and over like thunder claps, reverberating throughout the Universe.
A mother is a super-sonic person on twenty-four-hour duty. She has countless job descriptions all done for free š
Though there’s no perfect way to being a mother, or a parent as a matter of fact, there are millions of Ā ways to being a good one by doing your best.

Courtesy of Wild Daffodilās 8-year-old granddaughter Miss E, who sent in a poem to Ron’s haiku, we get some interesting set of word prompts this week ‘dragon and invite.’ Well, let’s see who’s breathing fire š
With the haiku prompt of dragon invite
my mind takes me back
to Bruce Lee’s movie, enter the Dragon.
****
Please don’t invite her for the party
She’s such a feisty dragon
Her flaming tongue will incinerate my guests.
