A tanka from me today.

A russet carpet
Upon which lay stepping stones
Of deep emerald green
“Come to me,” the sun invites
“tread the path that no one has…”

FLASH IN A FLASH – #WRITESPIRATION 89

Sacha is testing us again!

flash flash 2

Get a timer, set it for 120 seconds and when and ONLY when you are ready to do the challenge, scroll to the very end of the post to see the one-word prompt. Write hard and fast until your time is up. 

Blowtorch
Pulling the ramekins out of the oven, I was really pleased with the results.
Dave loved Crème Brulee and I was determined to make this meal the best thing he had ever eaten. Never having made this before, I was following the instructions to the letter.
Now, what was next? Sprinkle sugar, ok.
Then using your blowtorch, caramelise the sugar.
Blowtorch?! No one told me I needed a blowtorch?!
“Mum! Dad! Have you got a blowtorch?”
“Yes love,” Dad answered, “it’s in the shed, I’ll just go get it.”
Moments later, Dad arrived with his protective mask and an industrial blowtorch. “Right love, what needs welding?”

The prompt word was Blowtorch.

Flash Fiction Foray #33 ‘Sh-Boom’

I love Matt’s prompt this week! It’s a song I can croon along to!

Neon Music Sign

The The Crew Cuts’ Sh-Boom.

I have definitely used a little creative licence here, there is no truth to this at all… Well, I don’t know, but it’s just how the story turned out!

“Life could be a dream, sweetheart,” Benny said, “you just gotta trust me.”
Frankie looked over the figures in front of her and glanced at him. He had his heart set on this.  But it meant their savings being ploughed into something she wasn’t sure of.
He was a good cook, yeah, and she could be the hostess with the mostess, but was he really good? And could she entertain a room fulla folks?
Only time would tell…
Six months later, they unveiled Frankie & Benny’s.
Years later she thought back to that day. Thank God she had trusted him…

 

Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 26 – ‘Distance’

It is time for Hugh’s weekly Photo prompt challenge.

Hugh's Weekly Photo Challenge - Logo

1. Take or choose a photo that you’ve taken which defines Distance.
2. Create a new post on your blog entitled “Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 26 – ‘Distance’
3. Add the photo(s) you have taken to the post and tell us a little about what you are showing.
4. Create a pingback to this post or leave a link to your post in the comments section so other participants can view the post.

It seems like a really easy prompt, then you realise that actually, as Hugh said, you end up deleting most of the photos as they were out of focus, or there wasn’t what you actually wanted, in them.

I use my phone camera for pretty much all my photos, as it is easier. I don’t profess to be an expert photographer, and if they are good captures, its pure luck!

So off I went, scrolling through my photo album on my phone, and these were what I came up with.

The first is a photo of a sheep-filled field. I took this at the wedding reception we attended on Sunday. Standing there, allI could see were these fluffy white clouds clustered around the field, so I took the photo to show Hubby Dearest when I got back. When I looked at said photo, it didn’t look like that many, but if you zoom in, there are many little white dots that come into focus!

Bleat bleat
Sheep sheep
Everywhere you look!
Baa Baa
So Far
In every cranny and nook
Meh Meh
Here and there
Where’s the shepherd’s crook?
How many sheep?
Zoom in and see
In this photo I took!

And another is one I took of the fog one morning near our house. If you look closely enough, you can see the outline of the Gurdwara. It isn’t, in actual fact, much of a distance away, but seems so because of the fog!

Hidden from our view
Behind a curtain of fog
Yet He sees us all

Hope you liked my take!
