A Space Above My Head

a space above my head

dragonfly hovers over my head

keeps a distance of closeness in space

my wonder is what he might be thinking

perhaps a desire to buss my cheek

or weave a nest from my whispy hair

he in his place and I in mine, we keep perfect time

…..

That is my Six Line Poem for this weeks Six Sentence Story challenge

It is TTOT time and whew-Whee it is summery out there! Let’s see what kind of hot stuff warmed this week.

  1. the pool was closed for the weekend…or so we thought…YOU’VE GOT MAIL! The pool is open! WooHoo We made quite a splash after that news! And we had the pool to ourselves. Felt kinda like royalty.
  2. another one hits the press…another release part 1 of a 2 part release of a book.
  3. bargains…I love that we have so many choices.
  4. random stops for noms…spontaneity is fun!
  5. workshopping happening in a few.
  6. it’s beautiful today! Temps are perfect. YAY
  7. new shoes! I got my annual shoe buy for my birthday. J/K but it is what I asked for and got, so YAY! And I love it when sales meet up at the same time.
  8. you know you are getting old when you get excited over #7s purchase being good walking shoes. But…they are in a snazzy color.
  9. home shows on TV on Saturdays are fun. Especially like Zombie homes.
  10. YOU! What’s up?

Happy Friday and first post for August! Let’s see how this week went:

  1. I worked on a phase of a project and completed it with approval. 2. Everybody in this household is back on the path to health. 3. I spent a co-celebration with my other daughter who calls my “Mumpley.” We discovered a little coffee shop in Apex and it was yummy. We had not seen each other since before my wedding and had a lot of catching up to do. 4. Grocery bargains YAY! 5. Grocery helpers YAY! 6. Nice people YAY! 7. I asked for help from someone I admire and they were so gracious to provide it. 8. People who I can count on, the ones who stay the path, are wonderful and I so much appreciate them. 9. Time when you need to have simply time. 10. You! What are you grateful for this week? Please share here or write up a post. You don’t have to come up with TEN!

Bookmarks

Bookmarks

She used a soft white cotton cloth, laced with tiny blues, placed it in the book of love created for her infant Jude.

While he ran and played with friends, she kept her book on knees care bent, marked her place with a little spare sock whenever he had needs.

It seems her bookmark had variety depending on her task, a leaf when walking in the autumn, a violet which he presented at her ask.

When he grew up and left her home, to college he would go, she gave him a leather bookmark for love and luck, to keep his place.

Jude came home for winter break and lounged on the settee, when called for dinner he grabbed a pen and bookmarked at his place.

He learned just like his mom to use what was handy to keep his place, the leather bookmark gathered dust, it was not of his breeding.
