Tuesday is Flash Fiction Foray by Matt The Book Blogger!
Today’s prompt song…
Yesterday Once More – The Carpenters
Feel free to base responses of anything to do with the song, I always enjoy any different takes! 100 words! Make em count!
And my entry…
Looking at all those happy faces in the photos, Edith smiled to herself.
Vera, Rose, Lizzy, Isabel and her.
That was her favourite snap, the five of them on the promenade in Brighton.
A day trip away from the confines of the city. They were so happy, ice creams in hands, holding onto hats that were threatening to be blown away by the sea breeze…
She closed her moistening eyes.
That was 65 years ago.
She was the only one left.
No amount of wishes would bring her friends back, but she couldn’t help wishing it was yesterday once more…

Monday Haiku time! And Ron has given us a tough couple of words this week!
Rein & Quest
Two takes this week…
The Hunter
Now the hunt is on
Excitement can’t be suppressed
It’s within my graspRitu 2016
Sleeping Beauty – A Tanka
Holding the reins tight
I gallop into the woods
On a quest for love
To find the Princess I seek
Asleep for a hundred years.Ritu 2016

This week TJ gave us the prompt of a footstool.
A quick initial haiku…
Life has worn you out
Come and rest your weary legs
Upon my smooth backRitu 2016
I don’t have one, as such, and could only think of the small embroidered one we bought my Mother-in-law this birthday. It’s cute, and has a little drawer in the side, as the children thought their grandma could do with a secret hiding place for her pens and glasses! But I wasn’t able to get the photo… maybe later this week.
Then I remembered that I do have one, but it’s not mine!
It belongs to the kids. A miniature armchair and footstool set that Lil Man was gifted on his 1st birthday, by my parents.
You’re never too young
To relax with your footstool
And your matching chair!Ritu 2016

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…”Ritu 2016
But I Smile Anyway...
