Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt this week:
Train Your eye It might look Rocky right now, And in the future But, stretch your mind's eye, though Try. Look a little further Beyond bumps that present themselves And you'll see, the path begins to ease It might take some time, but it will happen Ritu 2020

Time for Colleen’s syllabic poetry challenge!
Two words, this week, but the twist… you can’t use them! but you need to include them, as synonyms, instead!
I apologise… it is extremely silly. But I give you a video to demonstrate it too!

Charli’s Carrot Ranch prompt this week:
April 9, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story that declares, shield your face. It can be a knight of old, a doctor, or a senior citizen. What is the circumstance? Who makes the declaration? Go where the prompt leads!
Unveiled
I stepped outside, onto our rooftop veranda.
The sun, still warm, was beginning to set.
I needed to collect the clothes from the line, but first, I just had to make the most of this moment.
As far as the eye could see, roof terraces were visible, but, unlike other days, no one was out on them.
This virus had scared everyone.
Slowly, I unhooked my veil, allowing the warm rays to touch my face.
This was a bliss I was rarely allowed to experience.
“Shield your face!” My father appeared.
I scrambled to reinstate the veil. “Sorry Abba.”

Linda’s #SOCS prompt this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “joint.” Use it as a noun, an adjective, or a verb–use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Firstly, can I apologise for not taking part in the recent #SOCS challenges. What with the whole situation we have around us at the moment, life is somewhat, topsy turvy, to say the least!
Now, where was I? Joint.
Ahhh. Can I be honest?
The first thing that came to mind was a joint of the smoking variety.
Not to say I am a smoker, but that was the first thing. Jus’ sayin’.
But, thinking about joints, I should really be talking about mine!
If you remember, in October (Seems so long ago, that time of freedom of movement…) I had an awful time, where I was experiencing terrible pains.
They did all sorts of tests, but nothing was coming up. In the end, the GP sent me a referral to see a specialist, and the earliest I could get an appointment was… April.
Yup, over four months, I had to wait.
Since October, the pains haven’t been as bad, but I am getting twinges, and one knee is painful regularly.
I looked forward to this appointment. Maybe someone could let me know what was causing the pains…
Then, the pandemic arrived. And lockdown.
Guess whose appointment wasn’t going to happen?
Well, it kinda did. I got a phone consultation instead, and now I have to go to the local hospital (I’m dreading that) for blood tests, before a follow up appointment in AUGUST!
You know, I might just need that other kinda joint to sort the pains out…

Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt this week:
A sea of blue Interspersed with green A forest floor of blooms Rising from within, trees A gentle breeze Rippling the flowers A gentle bluebell tinkling I could listen for hours Ritu 2020
