Flicker of Thoughts

This poem was published in Social Justice Inks Anthology by Lisa Tomey’s Prolific Pulse Press, available for purchase onAmazon.

An old woman took her granddaughter to the mall.

She wanted to buy her little girl a lollipop.

The shopkeeper asked her to pay at the facial recognition machine.

She was too poor to own a digital device,

too helpless to be tech savvy,

and she only scraped by using the money in a biscuit tin.

The shopkeeper told her that business could not accept cash payment anymore,

for the public health order said it all.

She pleaded with the shopkeeper saying they were clean and healthy.

All she wanted was a good old days’ reward for her granddaughter.

The little girl looked up to her tear-filled eyes,

Creativity Talk

June 27, 2022 Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

C. Miller, David Martin, and Lisa Tomey got together last week for a discussion about creativity, summer camp, and a little bit of other goodies. Watch/listen in:

To learn more about Fine Lines Summer Camp for Writers go to FineLines.org

poetry, Senior Health, six sentence story

How ironic that I saw the prompt of “Stroke” for the Six Sentence Story, especially since on June 17 I received word that a beloved family member had mini strokes. Thankfully-they are home and on the mend. It only seems appropriate to list the signs of a stroke and since there are six letters, you know what that means…

Signs of a Stroke

Severe headaches could happen, so pay attention when this does.

Trouble talking or understanding, take a breath and signal for help.

Refocusing due to trouble with vision or even loss could mean there’s something going on.

Ordinary feelings go numb and you may feel weak one or both, help you must seek.

Keep checking numbness, indicate where it is, ask for someone to watchfully note.

Equilibrium feels off with dizzies or loss of balance or ever a fall, for which 911 you want to call.
