Ooh! You know how much I love a challenge, and Syl has passed the poetic baton on to me today! I feel honoured, as he is amazing with words!

Now to the rules for this challenge:
1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and link back.
2.Link back to me Waffles.
3. Write one line in the poem. If 4 lines have been reached before you then start a new stanza
4. If you are the 17th line no need to nominate just send it back to me Waffles with a title for the next one.
Autumn
Autumnal hues herald dawn’s amber glow.
Nature paints in colorful flow.
Everything’s pumpkin from pop tarts to chips.
There’s even a seasonal orange pumpkin dip.
~
Now a crestfallen suns rich corpse spawns a great feast.
The aroma from scented candles tantalize the palette.
Eerie glows emanate from window sills.
And I nominate Jane Dougherty to continue this beautiful collection of words 🎃😊

My dear sis Erika took something I said and made it into one of her quotes for the day. As I mentioned in her comments, it’s not strictly my quote, it’s a saying that has been around for aeons.
Today, maybe more than most it feels apt.
I am off soon on a long journey, to attend the funeral of my cousin who passed away last week.
Funerals are not lovely things to attend, by any means. They indicate the end. I don’t like to say goodbye… But then the silver lining part comes into play, as they can also be a celebration of someone’s life, if you let then be.
My cousin sister was a vibrant soul, always there to help everyone, with wacky health care and natural remedy solutions at hand all of the time, and a LOT of love to give to us all.
She lost her husband many years ago, and now she leaves 4 children, and grandchildren also. Although I know we shall miss her greatly, I feel happy knowing she will be reunited with her husband after all these years, and that she’ll be looking down on us, wishing the best for us at all times.
RIP Didi
FFF #18 – Writing’s On The Wall

It’s been a while, but finally Matt, our very own Book Blogger is back with his 18th Flash Fiction challenge, also known as the Flash Fiction Foray!
What the lovely Matt usually does, is give us a song to work with, as inspiration, and our job is to create a 100 word flash fiction masterpiece, which we post, and ping back to him!
Well the inspiration for today is the new Bond Theme by Sam Smith, Writing’s On The Wall.
And as it is the week of Halloween, I have allowed my mind to wander to the creepy side…!
They looked around the shabby room… no real clues here. Detective Inspector Walsh stepped into the hallway. “I don’t know what to think, really.” he murmered. There appeared to be no sign of any recent life here, yet the neighbours had been complaining of loud banging and shouting, scraping and screaming, over the last few nights.
Just then PC Brown called out “I think you’re gonna want to see this sir.” DI Walsh turned back into the room. A large piece of wallpaper lay, partly pulled off the wall, and there, alongside what looked like bloody scratch marks, were words…
I hope you liked my little effort!
