Three Things Challenge #M722

Your three words today are:

ELECT

SUSPECT

REJECT

Forthcoming Road to Nowhere

If a suspect is elected

After all ballots have been collected

Then all justice has been rejected

And none of us will be protected

No matter how it’s dissected

Our society is infected

By all the politician’s inflected

And the politic’s the voters neglected

I hope things get corrected

My opinions, now just injected

Hopefully no one‘s offended as suspected

If I am, then I stand corrected

So my creativity will now be redirected…

Three Things Challenge M713

Love, it can get Messy

Crash burn fizzle and fry

Each time we give love a try.

It’s very messy stuff you see

Between people such as you and me.

We try our best with the best inventions

But it all goes “tilt”, even with good intentions.

Yet once again we reach out try

To find mutual love before we die.

Some says it’s simple like nouns or gerunds

Though to me, I still feel it’s fools errand.

It’s truly more than holding and kissing

We’re trying to find that part of us that’s missing.

So venture out, and make new friends

With hope our foolish quests, one day will end….

Hold On!!!

Duck and cover

Head for shelter

Protect, not hover

In the pending helter skelter.

Find a safe place

And hunker down

The storm is coming

Round and round.

The sirens are going

The time is near

The winds are really blowing

And the green sky is not clear.

A sound at first, distant

Starts to grow

Initially, a soft hiss

Then it starts to throw.

In between blasts of hail and rain

There was as a different sound

It’s something like a freight train

With everything twirling around.

Deep inside my hiding place

I hear objects hit the house

As the winds pick up there pace

I huddle quiet as a mouse.

Big things small things

Missles of all sizes

Crash through with a sting

Destroying all our prizes

I hold on tight

The worst is here

It won’t take me this night

Though that I fear.

I close my eyes

With fast beating heart

With tears and sighs

As my house is torn apart.

My ears pop

From the pressure of the wind

I pray for it to stop

And the tornado finally ascends…

My Inner Circle

3TC #ThreethingsChallenge

Three Things Challenge #M690 | pensitivity101

Do surround yourself with good people in your life.

It can take years to amass this inner circle, but believe me it’s worth it.

Make them the centre of your universe.

My people come from the various outskirts

Of my life.

Work, school, growing up, even swimming lessons.

They know me well and I can trust them and they can trust me.

It’s good to have strong people in your life that will tell you the truth.

I keep you honest and they keep you at your best.

Especially when you’re a writer… 😉
