Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

David Whyte

This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts.

In response to "By the River's Edge"

Nature does offer thrills in my opinion too. I love the soothsayers predictions.

That is funny although it may be embarrassing and tragic to you. You could elaborate and make a story of it in the comedy genre.

Yes, I can see how rumors can hurt a person. Sorry it happened to you, too.

Remember Children of the Corn? Yes, I was spooked by it.
Corn mazes are fun!

In response to "That Calm Center!"

I'm not a drama queen nor am I a calm personality. I'm high energy which some people find challenging. That energy level is what keeps me going. I agree calm centers can be quite deceiving.

In response to "Rumors and My Experience with One"

I fell for a rumor recently. WHY I didn't fact check it knowing the source, I can't say. But, my brother, reading from his phone, said...."Now they did it."
Did what?
They put a male in the female boxing ring at the Olympics and he killed a girl."

"WHAT?"

I freaked out and wrote a letter to the board at the Olympics. A rant. After hitting send, I googled it. That never happened! The guy IS a girl.... and ....no one died.

Will I ever learn?

In response to "Imagine? Not Anymore"

The odd thing to me is we already are one but choose to forget it.

No Drama? Ok, I will choose to set out any storm....the trouble gets tough when my umbrella turns inside out and I am pulled into it.

In response to "Imagine? Not Anymore"

It is a dream but it would be nice if the world could live as one. This song had hopes and dreams. I thought John Lennon wrote it. Good entry.

In response to "Rumors and My Experience with One"

Hillary's emails are a good example of unfounded rumors based partially on truth (the emails existed) that made it even harder to debunk... even 8 years later. How much harm did it do? We'll never know.

I've been accused of this-and-that more than once. Folks tried to breakup friendships and labelled me in the process... I left after the third or fourth incident. I didn't go back.

The result? I trust strangers with greater ease than those who should have known me best.

"Someone Took a Picture..."

Prompt:
Start your entry today: Some one took a picture and I'm scared what it will show.
Have fun!

--------

EEEK! A Photo!

"Some one took a picture
and I'm scared what it will
show" -in pixels and frames-
my foibles and flaws...to be
laid bare, those I dared to hide
and you'd rather not know.

Yet, could it show my smile
bright and true, or a flicker
of sorrows or my blues? A click
of shutter, one sweet heartbeat
or frozen tales and tears
catching me unawares,

for in each picture, a story
is told with something
unveiled I wished to hold,
to unfold here, in a flash.
Still, I'll dash through this shadow
with a hope some light to show.
