thoroughly Poetic Thursday #157

    Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

Here is the photo challenge  


this photo reminded me of a story about Me

Once there was at 4 year old...
As she grew up, she was told
tales of things she did
that would make your toes curl.
She found her Annie Ma's (maternal grandmother)
scissors. She crept out to the back yard...
evidently to play beauty shop with 
Lady the Collie  and her new puppies.
The story goes when Annie Ma found her
she exclaimed, "what have you done".
I turned to her happily exclaiming!
I cut Lady's hair, her puppies and mine. 
Lady and her puppies did not mind
**************
There were no pictures but my mind's eye expects I was as happy about my
accomplishment as the child was with her art work.
***************
Rest of the story I was only missing a minute or two.  It only takes that long to cause chaos.  I cut the left side of my hair was almost a crew cut.  So many ways this story could have been a nightmare...Evidently I was a wee devil.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #156

 Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

Here is the photo challenge  

Today I will try to write Dr. Seuss poem for the challenge



Yay for YOU for being YOU
Wearing a tie of blue suits YOU
It is a much cooler than a
Cat in a Hat
Your fingers are like
Thing 1 and Thing 2
What does your mind's eye 
see that makes you Uniquely
 YOU??

Splish Splash I'm not taking a bath
by Cecilia

My home sits smack in the middle of NC.
Just three hours West you can climb Hills
Three hours East you can stick your toes in the Sea.
If it is a thrill you seek,
head west to Bryson City.
A short trip to the top of the mountain,
will take you to NOC
Adventures galore await you there.
You will find so much to do your head will spin.
Once you are ready to descend you have a choice: train or raft
If you are daft, you can ride a raft.
If you have a brain, you can ride a train.
We have done this several times; however,
we always ride the rail. No way we
want to splish splash in the rapids or chance
falling out on our heads.
*********************
Side note: the train tracks run parallel to the rapids
you can experience the "fun" virtually, as you watch everyone

in the rafts.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #154

  Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

Here is the photo challenge  


Walking in the park 

The warm breezes gently blew thru my hair.

Birds were singing, people mingling.

There were park benches here and there. 

Some made of wood, some of metal

some in the shapes of animals.

One invited me to sit a spell.

It was a Zebra with a well endowed tail.

In hindsight (😅😅), I realized the photo would have been

more flattering from the front.

Bernie did you know, in the spring time
A young man's fancy turns to love

Bennie I'm here to tell you
your breath smells like you ate 
very old cheese.
 
If you want a lady's attention,
brush those teeth and please 
no more CHEESE

Maybe a Haiku!?

Winter time is dreary

The family takes turns cooking

Only a dummy gripes

Here is the photo challenge 

About Living on the prec·i·pice
  1. a very steep rock face or cliff, especially a tall one.
    "we swerved toward the edge of the precipice"

Precipice
Rock
Escaping 
Cliff dwelling
Incredible view
Peace and quiet..(no one will want to visit)
( the last three letters are) 
C
E

Which is what I would worry about if I lived there.
