Thoughts and Tales…A Lifestyle Blog with a Zing.
Soft giggles escaped her lips
And she lowered her eyes in shy acquiescence
She had been waiting for this moment
His heated gaze and murmured words
Filled her with flutters of anticipation
Accepting his invitation to dance
She stepped into his arms
And allowed him to twirl her
Around the ballroom
In a sensual tango.

Oh my dearest Annabella
She thought she was Cinderella
She read that Mills & Boons novella
And fell in love with a fella
She misplaced her shoes
After some pints of booze
It gave her the blues
And sent her to snooze
Her sights were set on Andrew
Who simply didn’t have a clue
He was always confused
And she wasn’t amused
She cornered him in the cellar
After a dab of vanilla
A lot of history went under
And they honeymoon in Venezuela

The hope of mankind’s future
Lies in the step of the young one’s
We are simply custodians
Meant to help them find their footing
How and what we teach them
Will mould the way they choose to walk
Let’s be wise in our teachings.

As I walked I met a black cat
Sitting beside the trash can
Black cat and I
Stared each other in the eye.
His were vivid green
Mine as it’s always been
He meowed a bit
And he moved to my feet.
He looked mighty harmless
His velvety fur was spotless
And since he was nameless
I called him cuteness.
He couldn’t cast any spell
As far as I could tell
It must be an old wives tale
A superstitious belief gone stale.
To paint a poor kitty black
Not cutting it any slack.
I returned to pore over my mail
And indulged in a tall, cold glass of ginger ale.

Superstition, Daily Post Prompt
![Street[1]](https://acookingpotandtwistedtales.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/street1.jpg)
From dusk to dawn
The flurry of feet
Hurried along the street
The needs of the day
Their desire to meet.
—–
The street is a happy place to be
With many things that you get to see
Sometimes, it might even be a clown
Or a lady wearing a frown.
——-
At times, it’s a happy looking dog
With its owner going on a jog
Or the man with the briefcase
He seems to be quite in a haste.
——-
Some streets are dark
Some streets are light
Some streets are dirty
They’ll give you a fright
——-
Yet each street has its own soul
The heartbeats
Of the passing feet
That brings it to life.

It takes such men like those in the photo below, to create beautiful landscapes that we admire.
Landscape, The Daily Post Photo Prompt.
I love vivid and vibrant things
I love those shiny bling’s
All things bright and beautiful
Just like colourful Spring.
I love things in calmness
I love their simple quietness
It brings out certain righteousness
Painting your heart colourful in gladness
I love life in splashes
They make beautiful sashes
Just like the King’s gaudy ring
Now, that’s one big, fat bling
I love the calm of white
It also looks as bright
Though it may not be as colourful
It’s equally just as wonderful
Now this is just silly rhyme
I just feel like passing time
It’s Friday night Tra la, la
Oh! A good night for oh la, la!

Ah! Finally, the last day of photo 101. I believe I will miss this course, and I am glad that I survived it.
For several reasons, this month has been a hectic one for me and each day was really a case of mind over matter in order to get things done. A lot is left trailing behind and have to be attended to in this month of April.
I totally doff my cap to professional photographers that bring you the fabulous photos that you get to enjoy.
For today’s prompt ‘triumph and contrast’ my mind went to so many things. Music, little beginnings, and closures. For me, triumph comes from satisfaction over little things around me, such as getting my exercise done makes me dance and feel on top of things 🙂
I love Sunsets. They spell beautiful, serenity, closure, triumph and so much more.
The Photo 101 course is drawing to a close this weekend. Phew! It’s been fun, but hectic too.
Well, today’s theme is to ‘double and rotate’ so I serve you my takes below.
Regards,
Jacqueline
