Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
I thought I’d continue the adventures of Barbie and Ken. A little limerick-al today!
Said Barbie to Ken one day
“I don’t want to go that way
That portal looks dirty,
No, don’t get all flirty
If my shoes get ruined, you’ll pay!”
Said Ken to Barbie ” Oh Babe,
Just trust me please, I pray
Just through there we’ll go
And you’ll find the snow
I’m sure there’s even a sleigh!”
“Just kill me now,” she said
“Oh God, I’d rather be dead
Than to sit on a crate
With your dressed up mate!”
And she left Ken scratching his head
“These women are too hard to please
Said Ken, “She can be such a tease”
“I’ve tried everything.
I really can’t win
Is it time to find a new squeeze?”

To be continued… Will Ken give up??? Has Barbie lost her man???

Sacha’s #Writespiration prompt this week:
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
This week I want you to write about what lays behind a waterfall.
The stench was coming from behind the curtain of water falling ahead of them.
“What do you think, Inspector?”
DI Jones looked at the waterfall. They’d looked everywhere else.
“Get the team to go in.”

A few hours later, three body bags lay in front of him.
What a hiding place!

On days like these, God bless my hot water bottle!
I don’t function well in the cold. My whole body goes on go-slow! This photo, taken last night, shows me with my wonderful companion at night! I was ready to just go to bed because the cold was deep within me, but as soon as I got my feet warm, I felt ready to do all sorts of little jobs that I had been putting off!
Love me a good hot water bottle!
For Linda’s #1LinerWeds Challenge.

There I was, thinking Colleen’s Synonym challenge would be done after her November Nano absence… but guess what… She’s only gone and decided that she’s keeping it up! So we will have two words now, that we can’t use, as we need to find synonyms instead! Thanks, Colleen!!
This week she’s given us :
So here’s a haiku

Outsmarting nature
Beauty still blooms in the cold
Barren winter scapes

And a Senryu

Lose your vacant look
In order to snare a man
Be your fiery self
