That red sky at night
A fallacy of nature
Scribed as a delight

Fable
Pencilled story
Rousing, moving, stirring
Words to inspire humanity
Legend

Drafting a letter
To allay your delusions
I lay myself bare
In my words find truth and pain
Find an olive branch proffered

Your prompt for January 23rd 2018, brought to you by the kind, considerate and eloquently snarky Supernatural Snark, is “Colour.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Snark at her blog, “Supernatural Snark” to read her post and say hi! Here’s her link: https://supernaturalsnark.wordpress.com/

Colour

What colour is your soul?
Pure as the driven snow
Or dark as the shadows of the night?
Does it glow bright,
Like the morning light
Or is it dim
Like covert sin?
Is it a rainbow
Reflecting every hue?
A complete picture
That is truly you.

See you tomorrow!

Day twenty-two of #JusJoJan!

I’m going to try to write on each of the prompts!

Today the prompt is:

Your prompt for January 22nd 2018, brought to you by the friendly and nautically inclined Captain Jill, is Liberty.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Willow at her blog, “Capt Jill’s Journey” to read her post and say hi! Here’s her link: https://captjillsjourneys.wordpress.com/

Liberty

When I read the prompt, the first thing I thought of was Catherine Tate’s Nan character, who says (excuse the colourful language!) “What a f-ink liberty!” to anyone who is doing something she doesn’t approve of.

Image from Google

What is liberty though?

A state of freedom. A right or a privilege.

Yes, they are the real meanings, but more often than not, in today’s age, we talk about people taking liberties.

Expecting things to be there for them, or done for them, without much effort from themselves… Know a few of those….

Then I checked the Urban Dictionary and the top definition for Liberty was this:

Liberty

A stunning, well wishing, sweet, cute, amazing, funny, adorable, good hearted (I said that she was absolutely stunning right?) girl with every intention to make others happy. She’ll always is there for you when you’re feeling down to cheer you up. All the boys want her desperately.

Person1: Dude I’m so happy right now.
I got this girl who is so stunning.

Person2: Ah, damn you got yourself a Liberty your lucky

Did make me giggle!

See you tomorrow!

Day twenty-one of #JusJoJan!

I’m going to try to write on each of the prompts!

Today the prompt is:

Your prompt for January 21st, 2018, brought to you by my dear blog sis Willow, is Silence.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Willow at her blog, “Willowdot21” to read her post and say hi! Here’s her link: https://willowdot21.wordpress.com/

Thanks, Sis!

Silence

Silence can be truly golden.

It can show the peace, the spiritual sanctity of a blessed mind.

A place where there is no need for words or conversations, just a feeling of contentment.

But silence can also be harrowing.

Words that need to be spoken, yet left unsaid.

A waiting period where you don’t hear a thing…

Personally, I prefer an atmosphere with the quiet (not often!) chatter of my kids, the chirruping of my birds, the purring of my cat, and the presence of my Hubby Dearest. He’s not a man of many words, but knowing he’s by my side is enough…

When in the company of friends, I want to hear laughter, and meaningful conversation.

Silence… now I need that when I’m reading!!!

See you tomorrow!
