Figured I'd try the Challenge of the day....mostly true too lol


Eight o clock wake up call,
sleep boogers in my eyes.
Coffee pot is broken,
no bean juice today.
Drive to work...traffic is slow.
Red lights all the way.
Unlock the door,
turn on the lights,
flip the sign.
Redundance.
Sit behind the desk....
A phone call!
Customer walks in.
Make the sale.
Charge too little.
Boss is slightly peeved.
Time to go home.
Flip the sign.
Hit the lights.
Lock the door.....
Forgot my house key.
Drive home,
more red lights....
traffic....
Climb through my window,
lay down.
Again tomorrow?

Very cool and to make it even better you say it is true! Brilliant!

Thank you...all but the driving and locking my keys are real...still have half hour left until work over lol

Some say the last hour is the longest hour so I feel your grief in this and it is only Monday!! lol

There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein. ~Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith


You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. ~Ray Bradbury


So often is the virgin sheet of paper more real than what one has to say, and so often one regrets having marred it. ~Harold Acton, Memoirs of an Aesthete, 1948

I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all. ~Richard Wright, American Hunger, 1977


I try to leave out the parts that people skip. ~Elmore Leonard

Challenge of the Day:

Write a poem or short story about the United States of America.

The United States of America was establish based on greed
the founders worshiped mammon as the basis of their creed
They claimed to be so loving and to care for those in need
but the natives of the country were the ones who's hearts would bleed

They boasted of their loyalty and sang about their bravery
all the while they ran their farms with workers chained in slavery
They "Trust in God', or so it says, as it's stamped upon their coins
and now the land is taxed to death from Miami to De Moines

The natives have been pacified and the slaves have all been freed
but it seems that lust and gluttony will forever be our creed
The nation still has problems finding humans who can lead
until we do, we have no clue, if our nation can succeed.

so true and so sad!!!

Okay going to go hang myself!


just joking

Very nice James!

Every author in some way portrays himself in his works, even if it be against his will. ~Goethe

Coined Flip

With a flip of our coin
we pacify nations,
casting the lot
for our freedom.
What is not counted,
as the price is too much,
are the lives
that will never, be thought of.
For, even as death
separates this life,
stacked with the vows so solemn.
Those who are left
read the names inscribed,
On pages considered hallowed,
So we pay to the piper,
Covered and flagged
with our sorrow and shame,
we bury them.
Woe to we, who cherish not,
and offer only contention.
For as the coin rolls
to another's turn,
who's to say you
will be one of them.
