Puzzles…. By Anita Dawes
Puzzles
I held the teaser in my hand
I feel as if my body has been
taken over by a strange entity
My mind has gone numb
My hands twist and turn, temper rising
Nothing happens, it stays the same
I sit staring at it, sure it is evil
It wants to destroy me
Then again,
I have never been very good with puzzles

It is a school reunion meeting. Wandering in the revamped school premises, I wonder what would be different if I had to do it all over again. We depended so much on what was written in books, and whatever teachers said. There was nothing wrong in those times. It had a certain quaintness of innocence, … Continue reading Back to School
The three friends hoped nobody had seen them in this place. A: ”But we’ve made money. If we stay on longer, we could make a little more. See only your gains and shut your eyes to the rest.” B: “Can’t believe you are saying this. I don’t want to listen any more…” C: “I’m under … Continue reading Under oath

Anyway ….a rhyme by Sangeetha
Anyway turn I take
I'm back at square one
It's really rough for a girl

and try and take a stand
to make a smooth transition
to square-two land

Memories …..by Punam
As I stumble again over my tangled shoelaces
wondrous memories light up the canvas of youth
time is fluid and my mind lucid
as I ramble through the lanes of past
a hint of the fragrance of carefree laughter
causes a lump in my throat that refuses to go
the freaky four they called us behind our back
our strangeness, the elephant in the room
nobody had the courage to address
we were unstoppable
no kakorrhaphiophobia, no feeling of insufficiency
my clumsiness never an issue
secure in each others’ quaintness
world warriors we were
then fate spun a whirlwind so intense
scattered across the globe we lie
the magnet of uniqueness keeping us aligned
I wipe my tears with a sigh hoping to see them before I die.

“The name is Phoenix. But the picture does not match.” The HR executive’s brow was creased “Social media profiles would have changed too.” “How do you know?” “When the phoenix rises again, he reinvents himself. It’s the only way to escape extinction.” https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2021/08/26/tale-weaver-26-08-21-its-not-about-falling/
“Gold mines are heavily guarded.” “Tunnels have been laid out from other parts. It’s about getting people out, especially women, not about gold.” “We’ll do our best.” Salute! “Marshal all resources. Help the evacuees to become a formidable force.” (39 words) https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2021/08/28/weekend-writing-prompt-224-marshal/
