I have decided to attempt Linda’s Just Jot It January Challenge (#JusJoJan) this year. Whether I’ll be able to post daily is another matter, but I shall try!

The Just Jot It January 1st prompt, brought to you by Barb of ghostmmnc, is: “Spider.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Barb as well! Here’s her blog: https://teleportingweena.wordpress.com/ .

Spider

On this first day of the new year
It is common to have no fear
To weave a spider’s web of dreams
Of targets that you wish to achieve
To brush those old cobwebs away
And allow new ones to make their way
Give yourself a fighting chance
Choose wisely, skills you wish to enhance
Small steps are better than none
Learn to walk before you run
The spider starts with just one strand
Before creating something grand

Linda’s SoCS prompt this week.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “first/last.” Use one or both words, or find words that mean the same. Bonus points if you start your post with “first/beginning/start” etc. and end with “last/end” etc. Enjoy!

First thought with this prompt
Can I write a good haiku?
The final word… last

First, I just have to say, thanks to Linda for this SoCS challenge. I have really enjoyed participating this year. Daily challenges are not easy for me, with work, but weekly ones, I am able to handle!

It’s been fun, writing off the cuff with given prompts, made me think a little outside the box on occasion too!

And long do I hope to continue taking part!

Now, I will stop rambling… I know what you’re thinking… she’s shut up… at LAST!

Sue’s prompt this week for #writephoto.

Like a fog clearing
All becomes clear to me now
The truth – crystal clear

Short and sweet for this week, but what with all the preparations for the festivities, well, you know how it is!

Have a great few days all!

Linda’s prompt for #SoCS this week…

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “moot.” Use it as the theme of your post or just use the word in a stream of consciousness post about something else. Enjoy!

Now, Linda, that’s not fair!

Not a nice easy pre-Christmas, festive prompt!

So I ended up with this nonsense rhyme! Hope you enjoy 🙂

“The prompt”, she said, “is moot.”
But it just didn’t compute
Some might think it a beaut
But it’s rendered me almost mute!

So I’ll just rhyme with it – Bandicoot
And there’s also passionfruit
How about lawsuit?
Or maybe cowboy boot?

Not before I convolute
And you, my Peeps, dispute
I really must just shoot
I hope you had a hoot!
