FFF #32 – Still In Love With You

Oh I do love this challenge! So glad to have you back Matt!

Neon Music Sign

This week’s edition will be on (drumroll please)… the wacky, brilliant, Still in Love with You from Electro Velvet. Feel free to base responses of anything to do with the song, I always enjoy any different takes! 100 words please!

She waved goodbye to the last few punters, blowing a kiss to them, as they slurred how much they loved her. It was always the same. Susie just had that personality. Flirtatious. And it was a money spinner in this trade.  She always managed to sell a few more drinks.  Her cleavage was something of an attraction to the local lads.
Tim stood in the doorway that led up to their flat above the pub that they ran. “Oh don’t look at me like that babe! You know I’m still in love with you! It’s just a little friendly banter!”

The prompt words:

Lightning & Rain

I came up with 4… 3 haiku and one tanka.. The obvious subjects would be weather…

rain 1

The feeling of rain
Quenching a thirst that’s unknown
After lightning strikes

rain

When it rains it pours
Lightning will never strike twice
So the sayings go

Ritu 2016

rain 3

A flash of lightning
After thunder rolls above
The Heavens open
Intense, the relief of rain
Easing pressures in the sky

Ritu 2016

Then one not about the state of the world outside…

Rain runner

Like lightning, she ran
Compliments rained upon her
Victory was hers

Apologies if there are any errors, I am posting this as a tired mummy/teacher!

#SoCS May 7/16 – Apparent/A Parent

socs-badge-2015

The prompt word – Apparent or A Parent

My thoughts….

A Parent

Apparently I’m a parent
I should show you what to do
Apparently I’m a parent
A good example to you

From the early years of food and poops
And sleeping in your bed
Through school and education
Show you how to use your head

I should teach you how to talk
And always speak with respect
Think of what you want to do
And teach you how to reflect

Be there to support you
To lift you when you fall
To always show compassion
And do good to all

But sometimes I may slip a little
And not be all the above
Yet still I’ll try and guide you
With lots of mummy love

Apparently I’m a parent
I should show you what to do
Apparently I’m a parent
A good example to you

TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge – Rainbow

 

TJ’s prompt this week, Rainbow.

I love this prompt! I had a great photo captured when I saw an upside down rainbow one day!

 

A Smile From Above

Colourful rainbow
Like a smile in the sky
Bringing hope to all

Ritu 2016

Then I remembered that one time I did indeed find a rainbow inside my house!

Unexpected Rainbow – A Tanka

A rainbow inside?
Imagine my surprise!
Caused by reflections
A CD was the true cause
…But I think it was magic!

WRITESPIRATION #88 IT’S A DOLLS LIFE

doll island

In response to Sacha Black’s prompt.

It was meant to be my dream holiday. I had been saving for so long, and finally, I got off the plane.
Mattel Island. It was a little-known island in the cluster of Hawaiian islands.  Perfect, I thought. An unspoiled place for me to truly relax.
I hailed a cab outside the airport and one soon stopped. The driver was a handsome young man, with a fixed smile on his face. “Where to, Miss?”
I gave him the name of the hotel and we drove off.
Looking out of the window I saw some of the locals going about their business.
There sure were some attractive folk out there, on this island!
Reaching the hotel, I paid the driver, who I had named Ken, after the infamous doll.
The reception was quiet, and I strolled over to the desk. As the receptionist looked up, brushing her blonde hair from her face, I was struck by how perfect she looked, almost like Barbie.
Then it hit me.  Pretty much everyone I had seen seemed to have that plastic perfection look about them…
It was like landing on an Island of dolls!
Then she remembered the name of the island.
Mattel Island…
