The video player we used to watch old family movies this past weekend in celebration of Alex’s Granddads 90th birthday
Vintage video player
Projecting memories
Of a long lost time
Youth dances and plays
In long lost magical ways
Images jerking, glitching
Black and white
Choppy in the reel
The images seem unreal
Youth playing
Energetic and free
A lifetime of moments caught
In a plastic reel
How can I see you then?
And see you now Continue reading
Stuff It Tuesday. Storetry #4 A collaboration challenge for writers and poets!
This is the fourth installment of ‘Stuff it Tuesdays!’ Time sure does fly doesn’t it!
This week came together nicely despite the fewer number of entries. I was left wanting to read the next Chapter!
Thank you so much to everyone that has participated so far. I’ve really loved how all of these Storetries have turned out!
Please watch for next weeks opening paragraph and closing poem it will be listed at the end of this ‘Storetry’ and in the tab entitled Stuff It on my main page.
Now there is more incentive to participate! I have been putting some thought into these wonderful collaborations and I think with the permission of all of those that have participated in this one and the past 3 that I may publish a free e Book, no one (myself included) would make a profit from it but that contains all of these fantastic ‘Storetries’, complete with every person that has submit to a ‘storetry’s name and blog address in the same fashion they are laid out here. These are far to good not to share and you will be ‘published’ and the ‘world’ can read your writing/poetry!! If you do not want to be included in the book I will remove your entry. I will email everyone that has participated about it when time draws nearer to publishing. Continue reading

And you thought I would leave you without a poem today!?

Always to blame

Cyber Eyes, a poem of gratitude
This journey has been so fulfilling for me. I am so thankful to have found my ‘voice’ and even more so that you all want to hear it. I was going to keep this post for tomorrow (It will be my one month blogging anniversary!) But I don’t want to wait.
I noticed a comment on my blog today from heresnews She mentioned that she would have her ‘cyber eyes’ on me and it sparked the passion for this poem. Take a moment to check out her blog. Please remember to take the time to write the things that you are thinking when you read peoples work. It makes the world of difference to the person (myself included) to know that you have read what they wrote.
Thank you all for being such a great source of inspiration and encouragement to me. And…… the poem. Continue reading
Him
I’m going with him
I can’t stop my grin
My smurk
The way my knees jerk
When I think of him
I get all jittery
Like a 30’s jitterbug

Week #4 info Weekly Stuff it ‘Storetry’ Challenge, for poets and writers! Come and Join Us!
So I have come up with a weekly collaboration idea! I challenge you as writers and poets to “stuff” my opening and closing paragraphs with a written paragraph of no more than 5 sentences or a poetry verse of 6 lines that would fit as the “stuffing” of the story.
Take your time and think about it so you have a lead in and a lead out of your paragraph or verse so that I can link it all together. I will also link each contribution to your blog so we can all showcase what we have to offer and take a peek at the submissions we love.
Keep it true to your style and flare but remember nothing over a PG rating please.
I will also add 4 photographs into the ‘storetry’. Please submit poems, writings and photos to writingsofamrs@outlook.com with Stuff it Poem, Stuff it paragraph or Stuff it Photo in the subject line.
Submissions must be received by 4:00pm eastern time by the Monday before the Stuff it Tuesday.
All submissions will be used. Look below for this weeks Stuff it.
Time for this weeks Stuff it Tuesday Collaboration. This one is a little more challenging!
Opening:
He awoke to the dripping sounds of the rain. He slowly stirred and turned over to lay on his stomach and peered out the raggedy opening of the window in his hut. It had been two weeks now that he had been staying in this filthy, wet hut. As he stared off into the rainy sky in wonderment of the journey that had led him here.
Closing :
The mud squishing between his toes
The villagers and grass huts lined in rows
He looked back
A foreigner in a foreign land
His destruction led by his own people’s hand.
Check out the past 3 weeks here!
