Violets
It was just a remnant in the bargain bin.
Tiny violets were printed on a tight leno weave.
I cut the facings and carefully handled the fabric.
The most delicate effort produced a baby dress.
Violets for sweet Violet, the baby new to us.
A grand star in the soft light of dusk.

Sweet Daddy
Daddy, I miss you and who you were
and how together we’d family surf.
You taught me to love the taste of candy
and to get chocolate stars was dandy.
A quarter at the candy store
would take me hours to spend for sure.
When days were long, and thoughts were few
that bag of candy would get me through.
Ice cream was our best shared treat
and you would buy it for the kids on our street.
They’d gather ‘round for ice cream cones
and with you as their surrogate, they felt at home.
…
There you have it! That is my Six Sentence Story to the prompt word “quarter.”

Anticipation
Dusting, sweeping, window washing—the family readied their home for the presence of grandmother.
Oh, thought Priscilla, it’s going to be fun, I can hardly wait until she gets here. Giggling beside herself,
Priscilla picked out her finest dress and slipped on her sparkly slippers, and she even decorated Fluffy.
“You sure are excited,” Priscilla’s mother exclaimed.
Priscilla gave an impish grin; “I can’t wait to see the presents.”
This was when Priscilla had her first lesson about homonyms.

This is my response to the weekly prompt from Girlie on the Edge.
Perhaps you would like to write something.
Power
Powerful waves rush to the shore as I
lounge in the chaise with toes in gritty sand.
Sandy shores, crunch under weathered old soles.
Souls lost on the shores across other lands
find their place to reside and live within.
Whether or not the vessels believe this
hearts beat and lives live on because of those
who gave their lives for their own true reasons.
We are powerless to know human minds.
We are powerful to make up our own.

Julia wanted to find her soul mate, believing in possibilities of having a warm body to snuggle up to at night. And the relaxation of running her fingers through their hair while reading an intriguing mystery. She desired someone to fetch her paper and slippers in the morning. She smiled at thoughts of being adored while going on long walks, taking in nature together. On the way home after yet another dead-end coffee shop meetup with a stranger, she saw the cutest fluffy pooch. Julia’s eyes lit up and she went inside the pet adoption center and found Frederick, a rusty colored mutt, and fell in love without feeling she improvised.
