I must not cut my nails in the evening

Warns my  elders which sounds threatening

It is an unfounded fear

You’ll be penniless my dear

So why  take a chance after knowing the meaning!

Daily Prompt: Pensive

Today’s one-word prompt is : Pensive

This morning I walked over to a strip mall  which is walking distance from my house. In front of the bank I saw a man with a sign, saying he was hungry and homeless. He looked withdrawn, perhaps wondering whether the passers by care to read his sign.

I immediately thought of Marianne our blogger friend, who tells us to do something good if you meet a homeless and hungry man.

Well Marianne I bought two Tim Horton food cards for him, I gave it to him, he was appreciative and thanked me twice. I feel so good I was able to do something nice.

Daily Post: Flourish

Today’s one word prompt:    Flourish

I bought five hedge seedlings to fill a corner spot near my other hedge. I felt the open space was inviting the passengers waiting for the bus to throw their coffee cups, cigarette butts and other trash in the corner.

I got them planted with the help of a friend. They were growing nicely, I was positive they will cover the space, I’d be able to deter those who do not have the civic sense to respect other people’s property.

While their growth made my thinking positive, and I thought of getting some more, soon  the cruel harsh  winter that year killed them all, and I am left with the  space, which seems to be an open invitation to trash it.

Daily Post: Apology DiscoverWP

Apology:

Year end get togethers were held in our school

I skipped all of them because I was a fool.

I felt the organizers did not care

they were happy as long as others were there.

Now that the dust has settled

I feel a bit troubled.

What if someone  wanted me there

I am sorry I Apologize I wasn’t fair!

My life is a big screen,

it holds memories of,

my loved ones, first it was,

my Dad,he had so much to

give, but he left us

early, we the younger

ones, became orphans,

without understanding

why, Mom took

over, she kept us together.

When I grew up I had no

direction, I knew not then

how, important was education.

I studied, when I felt like

it,slept, longer than necessary

despite, my sister’s constant

reminders, I did what I thought

was, right, someone up

there, must have kept

me, focused.

Or else ,how did I, successfully

fight, off the,

obstacles, on my

path!
