This décima is for Ronovan Writes’s weekly prompt and also for FOWC: Hangry. I’ve been writing some silly poems lately. 
Lunchtime seems much too far away,
Hunger makes tempestuous mood
And irritable attitude,
But it will not ruin the day!
Funny
SoCS: Ode-ious :)
Today’s stream-of-consciousness Saturday prompt is “ode.” Find a one- or two-syllable word that rhymes with “ode,” or use the word “ode.” I know that Anode and Diode are words, but I don’t know what they mean, so maybe I will write an ode, or write some code (I’m not that computer-savvy). Recently I wrote an ode to my old phone, but that’s not stream-of-consciousness writing. I have no ideas and also am leaving my house in just a few minutes, which exacerbates my sort-of-anxiety about this.
Please help me, I must write an ode,
Before heading out on the road,
Give me an idea,
So I can say “see ya”
Okay, looks like now I can go-ed.
Note: this prompt was not actually odious. 🙂
Bad and Good Luck
Today’s SoCS from Linda G. Hill is the word “luck.”
A rabbit’s foot isn’t so lucky for the rabbit.
Why would we steal a horse’s shoes?
Stepping on cracks — does that cause issues?
I’d break a mirror to be rid of it.
Walking under a ladder, bad luck?
What about encountering a black cat?
I don’t believe any of that —
No matter what, you could get hit by a truck.
Poem and One-Liner Wednesday
I’m not getting any good poem ideas yet today, so here is an old one from a couple of weeks ago, not yet shared on my blog. First, I have a random one-liner for Linda G. Hill’s one-liner Wednesday today. 🙂
When life gives you lemons…
use them to keep your apples from turning brown. 😀
Driven Crazy
For SoCS: Drive and FOWC: Snap. This became a haibun.
What drives me crazy?
When people use apostrophes to pluralize their words.
Sometimes, my mother sends me pictures of poorly-written signs, and it makes me want to snap!!
though I cannot drive
I can be driven crazy
by punctuation
RoCS
For today’s SoCS, “-roc-“ the first thing I thought about was “rock” (rather straightforwardly), and I also think about St. Roch. He is the patron saint of plague victims, I think, so last year, because of Covid, he was a popular saint. *laughs*
There once was a green crocodile,
Who left his clothes all in a pile:
When he needed to find
An outfit well-designed,
It took him a very long while!
Limericks work pretty well for the stream-of-consciousness format because they can be nonsensical and ridiculous!
When a Meteor Comes and Destroys All Your Plans
This was inspired by today’s FOWC: Laconic and the Sunday Writing Prompt from MLMM, “great balls of fire.” I decided to also combine it with the photo challenge. Might as well link up with the Writers’ Pantry, too. 🙂
Ill-Fated Dessert
For SoCS, our prompt is to find a word or words that contain “-oop.”
Getting out a spoon to scoop
Some ice cream — oops!
Across the room it flings,
Hitting the window coverings
And sliding to the floor.
Happy ice cream turns to Poor
Me needing to clean up.
Then I fill another cup.
This silly poem is inspired by the fact that ice cream straight from the freezer is impossible to scoop and is loosely based on what happened when I (tried) to dish out ice cream a couple of nights ago.
Spring Flowers
I colored this picture for Linda G. Hill’s coloring club this month and wrote a limerick to go with it. Pusheen the cat is probably only smelling the fragrant flowers, but to me, it looks like she is chomping on it!
A More Beautiful Duckling?
This is for FOWC: Vestige and also MLMM’s Tale Weaver: Ugly Duckling. I happened to also use the FOWC word from yesterday. This is kind of silly …. almost a limerick.
The ugly duckling wanted to be beautiful,
And hoped for a method that was affordable:
Wanting no vestige left sighted
Of her past self, misguided,
She made sketchy choices — quite awful!
