Oh… My… God… Why you are only now telling me about this place? It’s been here for how many years, and you didn’t tell me?  Why?  What’s wrong with you? You know this is my kind of place!  It’s heaven!  In fact, if it were mine, I’d name it “Heaven on Earth.”  I could never own a place like this though; I’d never want to sell anything!  Maybe those eyeglasses.  You may as well go get a coffee next door, hang around on your laptop.  Look busy. I’ll be here a while. I can’t believe you kept this from me!

This would  be my actual reaction if I was shown such a wonderful shop! Some might say I have a thrift  store addiction.  I do go often, and on my other blog share my treasures each Tuesday!

      Copper kettles are beautiful! In large kitchens where they can be displayed, that is.

    It's the kind of place I used to be drawn to like a magnet. Now I avoid them because I am committed to not adding more to my cache (euphemism.) I do understand the attraction!

    Dear Lisa,

    I can't say it was my reaction when I saw that shop on the inside. I couldn't wait to leave.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    I enjoy rummaging, in stories, and this one hit the nail spot on…

A - Alphabet Haiku

-
It's April 1st, and time to start the 26 day alphabet countdown.  Every day, with Sundays off, I'll be posting a poem relating to that day's letter.  It may be a form (such as this one for A), a title, a subject, something to do with a prompt.  I fully admit, some will be better than others.  There is still time for you to join in.  www.a-to-zchallenge.com Here we go!  A - Alphabet Haiku  Alphabet haiku is an invented form created by Beatrice Evans.   Invented forms are new poetic structures that do not necessarily follow traditional or established "rules."  Alphabet haiku follows the traditional haiku syllable count of 5/7/5.  The only change required is each word begins with the same letter.   Wet windblown wastelands. Weary white winter weather. Wake, wonderous warmth! ©2024 Lisa Smith Nelson. All Rights Reserved  F will be another A poetry form, the American Sentence.

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 ...
