Challenge Deadline 12/15/23

 Grape hued blooms bow in the wind. With light and dark brush strokes, they paint an old wine cask. The dark strokes for aged wood slats that hold Rouge wine that spills from a light grey spout. For some, the joy of wine that hones with age. But for me, no span of time will make me like wine. 

NANCY HALGREN

Challenge Deadline 12/15/23

NANCY HALGREN

 My fish live out back in the pond, not gold or koi. Frogs line the edge and wait for bugs with fly rod mouth. They both swim in the light of the pale cream moon with heart joy. I must go join them now.

 To visually impart my thoughts, my vision of a candid photo of a fair maid is hard without that important fifth alpha symbol. Can you absorb or grasp thoughts or opinions from my brain so an accounting can float into your mind? Not a hallucination, but a valid organic visualization with color and mood. This maid, in fact, should bring Hyla’s author to mind. A kind and brilliant artisan of words.

Challenge Deadline 12/15/23

Challenge Deadline 12/15/23

 The brand name of the first ballpoint pen was “Biro,” which soon became the generic name for the pen kept in your bag or pocket. The biro was a boon to authors who could instantly jot down ‘bon mots’ and brilliant ideas bursting from their fertile brains. While not as beautiful as a stylish old fountain pen, the biro’s ball-bearing tip was smooth and clean, leaving no more ink blots on the page or black or blue stains on hands or clothes. Today’s ballpoints come in all the beautiful and brilliant colors of the rainbow, are in bountiful supply, and remain a blessing to all who put pen to paper. .
