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?

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.

Soaking

Prompt:
Use these words in your entry: bathtub, fill, customer, dictate, axis, essay, and dribble.

----------

the *bathtub beckons me as waters *fill
while drops *dribble in a tranquil thrill

but let me *dictate an *axis of peace
I, the *customer, wish this wait to cease

so bubbles can pen a gentle *essay
with problems solved, and the world fades away
