Term Limits

April 29, 2022 Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

Randy sat at the typewriter, pecking away, setting his sights on the clock, ticking to 4 a.m. on the due date of his term paper. He knew he should have started sooner, but he was a working student who needed the money to keep up with school costs.

The student rubbed his eyes, stood up and stretched, and grabbed one more coffee before gathering his papers and heading to the student union. Wouldn’t you know it, he thought, the copiers are all in use. Finally, he saw an opening and took his station and copied his paper. Another term paper down, Randy left to drop it off to his professor, the drop off box was filling up fast, Randy knocked on the professor’s door to let him know, only to be told by the secretary that the professor would be gone for a week long break, returning to collect the term papers to grade when he returned.

…..

So, there you have it! My Six Sentence Story. Poor Randy was tired and I hope he was able to catch a few zzz’s before he went to work. Needless to say, the professor caught some of his own zzz’s. Would you like to share your Six Sentence Story? Go to Girlie on the Edge and submit yours.

Board Meeting of the Council of Cats

Board Meeting of the Council of Cats

Mister Blaccatto led the board meeting of the Catpuccino Cat Club

Fluffy Fern who always sat close to Mister B called the club together

After minutes were read, Ms. Goldie suggested that the snacks should soon arrive and strutted in a restless fuss

Mr. Knee Sox kept to the edge of the board to allow for the first leap to treats

After the house stirred with two footed stomps the board commenced to a unified yowl

Meeting adjourned as they all ran to their bowls

This is my attempt of the Six Sentence Story prompt of “Board” You can join in the fun by going to Girlie on the Edge and entering and/or reading.

How to Start a Fire

April 2, 2022 Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

gather kindling-twigs n leaves, paper debris, light a match

find strong branches, trim them down, roast marshmallows, make s’mores

wrapped in grandma’s red plaid blanket, snuggle closer

notice sticky candy lips, take a chance and kiss them gently

flames lap at your feet, kisses sweet enough to eat

this is how a fire is made, starting with a twig to flame

Harmony’s Harp Lesson

March 26, 2022 Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

Her days were long and her nights even longer as the shadows were here guides

Harmony lived for the days when she could spend time with her Aunt Cecile

Hurrying, but steadfast to prevent a stumbling fall, Harmony greeted her aunt

Her breath ran short and once regained Aunt Cecile called Harmony to her side

Here we go, dear one, let’s practice what you learned last week, deep breath and go

Harmony’s hands searched for the strings and played as if her vision were to succeed
