  • The World Awaiting.

    This prompt or others very much alike keep turning up. I’m bored with it, one can’t just keep being inspired by the same trite question. Then I was inspired to write something by someone, another blogger, a friend had written me, Bizarrely it actually fits todays prompt in a surreal sort of way. So what… Read more

  • The View From Above

    I’m inspired by two people, Greta Thunberg for her love and devotion to our home, our planet, and Bob Dylan for giving me my love of words and their power. I have written about both, for prompts before, so I’m not going to repeat, you can find all in the archives of my blog anyway.… Read more

  • And Now For Something Completely Different.

    Anarchic, funny, irreverent, set me up for later life. I’m talking about “Monty Pythons Flying Circus” of course, It’s a bit like Marmite, you either loved it or hated it, for those not familiar with it I apologise. The quotes are not meant to be exact, it’s just a pastiche. LET’S TAKE A FUNNY WALK.… Read more

  • The Hammer Song

    I am asked by the prompt “What skill would I like to instantly acquire?” First of all a song called “If I Was a Carpenter” came into my mind, but that wasn’t right, what I was actually remembering was a Pete Seeger song. I looked it up, I thought it was called “”If I Had… Read more

  • Diet of Madness.

  • Run Rabbit Run.

    We are the many that feed the few, and you know what? Most of us can’t even see it, they have the wool so firmly over our eyes. So yes, if I could speak to my 20 year old self, although even that may have been a bit late, I’d say “Get out now”. I… Read more

  • Putting Up Bounderies.

    I quite like to challenge myself, firstly with coming up with a twist on the prompt, then turning the whole thing around. Being nearly 72 now I no longer have now my parents, and one brother who was nine years older than I died four years ago, nevertheless the below still works in principal. This… Read more

  • How sweet the World Without the Monsters.

    Sometimes I write these things, then think, should I call the asylum now and have them take me in, but then again it’s writing it down that keeps me sane, maybe! HOW SWEET THE WORLD WITHOUT MONSTERS. Mars bars are only small, they fit into a GalaxySo to think people could live there is surely… Read more
