Histrionics

“My mother-in-law invented remote control, long before we held those devices. She created a robot, long before this town heard the word.” The gathering listened with bated breath. It was an unusual obituary.  The obedient son wondered who was better at histrionics - his mother or wife? https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2020/10/31/weekend-writing-prompt-181-histrionics/

Flying with a poet

poetry pours out with a theme a poet has something to say A format is a voiceless meme predefined shapes, but no clay out of the world, out in the skies once upon a dream, inspiration strikes on a horse with wings, imagination flies of dark ink pages made - burn the psyche united in … Continue reading Flying with a poet

It has not worked well for me, as I see ‘obedient’ … Continue reading Irony

She would walk in pompously, and plonk her designer handbag on the table. Her ample … Continue reading Over the Top
