Taco-Mania

 For the inaugural Friday Writings at Poets and Storytellers United (no more Writer's Pantry or Weekly Scribblings, they've been melded into one with an optional prompt), I went with the prompt, albeit quite unremarkably!  A haibun, but not.  In other words, a paragraph and a 5/7/5 that is not a haiku.  Nor is it a senryu.  So, it's that "everything else" form zappai!  Can it still be called a haibun then?  🤷   Also, the first Tuesday of the month over at Tanka Tuesday is Poet's Choice.  My choice is a... um... prose/zappai, of the Taco Tuesday sort! Friday Writings prompt : "...write poetry or prose about food: cooking it, eating it, sharing it, craving it, dreaming of it … the choice is yours."  I like tacos as much as the next person does. They’re really a perfect food, completely customizable.   Beef or chicken, both or neither.   Pile on the veggies and cheese, or leave them naked.    Sour cream with a side of chips and salsa.   Or chips an

Weekly Scribblings #90: October “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers!” " ... take your inspiration from this quote, October, or autumn in general."

 Friday Fictioneers  " The rules are simple: Write a Complete Story, Beginning, Middle & End in 100 words or less "    photo prompt: PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot 100 words I don’t quite understand how this business was planned.   I can buy glasses to fit my face, and look at frames, to the sound of the bass?   It’s all so odd, perhaps a bit “mod,” for my liking.   I came in for a fit and hear The Tar Pit, singing about a Viking.   I find it quite strange. (That singer!   That range!)   I’m coming around to the musical sound, as my toes start tapping, and fingers are snapping.   The best part of the show in case you don’t know, is a glass of white wine, and a discount so fine! ©2021 Lisa Smith Nelson.
