Weekly Limerick Challenge: Over the Years

This one is too late to enter Rashmi's challenge which she set last week over at Mind and Life Matters blog, but as I'd finally got around to writing it, I thought I'd share it here anyway, before I get on with writing the next one! I once saw a girl full of fears Who …

Song Lyric Sunday: Gratitude

It's a bleak and rainy November Sunday with several hours to wait until the Strictly results show. Husband is out for a bracing walk, proving that he's much more the hardy outdoor type than me. 12YO has taken herself off to the cinema with a friend to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, while …

Six Word Story Challenge: Worship

Guilt, like incense, infused our prayers... this is the six word story I decided to submit to this week's challenge over at Sometimes Stellar's blog.

Judgement was certainly a tricky theme, but luckily the Boss came to my rescue again and you lucky people get another Bruce Springsteen song! "Independence Day" Well Papa go to bed now it's …

Weekly Limerick Challenge (a bit late): Homonyms

So I spotted Rashmi's prompt to write a limerick containing two or more homonyms, round about the day after her weekly challenge closed. A couple of days after that, I sat down and wrote a limerick. Then I went on holiday to a place that had no wifi, so didn't get a chance to post it …
