Thursday Think Tank: rain
Desert Rain
In the desert
The sun shines
Almost every day
No rain tickets are needed
If by accident
There is a brief shower
The ground is dry
Even before the shiny
Rays touch the earth
The prairie dog
Sees his shadow
Most everyday
Coyote
Fox
Bear
Lizard
All like naps in the
Warmth of the sun
Rarely need shelter
From desert rain

Sunday Whirl Wordle #23
My Position
I stand outside the shop
Outside the group
Outside the accepted circle
Clutching precious parcels
It is no accident
When you look
You find me here
We are free to chat
As we stroll
Occasionally I change
My position
At other times
I simple stand still
Watch passer-byes
Passing by
I will not be jostled
For my position
What was set into motion
Continues

Sunday Scribblings:prompt plan b
Plan “B”
I look around
It is plan “b”
“To be”
“Being”
I think I accomplished plan “a”
In the first 50 years
Now plan “b” is to be perfected
Add the dry ingredients
Then the liquid
Stir
Put in the oven
Bake one hour…
Or as long as it takes
Which maybe the rest of my life
“I am”

I love Plan B. Yes, now it is all about the perfecting…….

A lovely wordle and plan B works for me.
Annell, I think I am on Plan B too. (Maybe Plan C. LOL.)
I like what you did with the wordle. I will not be jostled for position either. I can hold my own!
Neat to read that the animals rarely need shelter from desert rain. Whew, we had rain today that was horrendous. Yesterday too. Glad it is not snow.
Nice work all around.
Beautifully put! At the age of ninety and having recently lost my husband of 70 years, I’m definitely on Plan B
What a smorgasboard you offer your visitors. You did well with the wordle and positioning, but I especially like plan b. Kinda think that is what most of life is all about,

Beautifully written…

Excellent wordle, Annell. All of the pieces are beautiful. Plan b is coming up for me. 50 years at the end of January 2012. It’s a good life we live, reflected in our words. It’s nice to know you at this point in life.
There’s a common thread in these about belonging – the animals are adapted to their lives in the desert; the narrator in the second piece is determined to maintain her identity, even if it means she continues to be an outsider; and the last narrator is someone we all know, are or are on our way to becoming. Great job tying it all together.
Loved all of these Annell. 🙂
PS. I love the new look you have for your blog.
really enjoyed the group of poems… each one cascades on it’s own way … with a beautiful splash at the end… great combination…
