I'm looking for Rotor-rooter man.

Plugged drain?

Nope. Plugged veins.

Ah ... Dr. Croissant's office is down the street next to the pizza place.

Which one?

Only one in this one-horse town.

*__*

What's clogged?

Seems my legs don't work as well as before. Doc back home thought I should have my veins checked.

Where's home.

Rochester.

My uncle has a pizza place there.

Le Pizza?

No, Marchione's.

May be why my pipes are plugged. I love greasy pizza, the greasier the better.

Next time order their Sicilian white pizza, best with just a sprinkle of anchovies. Fish and olive oils are better for you. Do you order with double cheese?

Triple.

That may be your problem! So let's check out those veins. Afterwards you can go next door to Miguela's. She my aunt. I'll send over a prescription for no meat, no cheese. She makes an awesome spinach pizza with pinole.

A free-verse poem about the life of an everyday person. "The Writer's Life"  by lexos02

Mini-review: Ars poetica: a writer writing about writing. We all do it!

What I like: "the page stays blank ... the story just ends." Yep. It shows promise but it's not overly poetic. Lines of subject-verb-object-period don't work well for poetry. And it reads like a list at first, although it gets better. Sometimes adverbs like "finally" distract; it distracted me; it can get its point across without this *sigh*. I give it a 3.5 at this point. With stronger words and poetics it could be a 4.

Prompt: Write about your life as a writer.

I won more than once this week.

Over my dead body... so she did [246]  (18+) Dark poetry to a dark visual prompt. #2235423 by Kåre เลียม Enga

won the second week of "Invalid Item" . Isn't that badge pretty? I write for badges! And tonight I decided to write a quick flash fiction. The key is to drop the reader into a scene and evoke some kind of reaction. Not as easy to do as it seems and I'm still hit-and-miss. But tonight I won for: " Stuck at home again [263] (268 words)"  for "Daily Flash Fiction Challenge" . Arakun the twisted raccoon has been running this for years. I highly recommend reading a few and then writing one yourself... one-a-day for a month . It's the only way to learn. Ask Jacky Hugh Wesley dragonwoman or even my friend QueenNormaJean maybesnow?! how that works. Persistance is a virtue.

I'm writing a lot because I can't travel, I'm depressed, I'm bored and I have too much time on my hands. My Muse seems to be happy with this even if I'm not thrilled.

So two hot flashes in one day (the above is flash) and two poems completed but not posted yet. AND TOO MUCH TO DO before deadlines at the end of the month.

I could go on and on ... and I have in multiple blogs.
