CHEESE-Y ! (NaNoWriMo Day 7 HWR)

CHEESE-Y

Oh dear! Oh dear,

What's this I hear?

That's one helluva prompt toughie

Writing love letters is not my game, you see…

I'm no sucker for fairytales, I'm a smart cookie

But for the love of writing let's say

I'm willing to give it a try all the way…

I might sound like a kindergartener

When I spout kitschy lines like "Let's grow old together"...

Quite cheesy wouldn't you agree?

Speaking of cheese…yummm! It brings out the foodie in me

Like mozarella to a pasta

Like cheddar to a frittata

Like strawberry jam to a buttery scone

I promise you, my lovey-dovey poetic skills I will soon hone

Like a salsa to a taco

Like a hummus to a nacho

Ermm….would'ya like to 'nacho' (dance) a Salsa with me on a full moon night?

As we clink glasses of Sangria

Under a lush purple arbour of Wisteria

You can stop me right there and tell me how corny were my lines or deliciously wicked--- like cheese stringy.

Errr…cheese again!...Now where was I?

Oh yes, I was writing sweet nothings to the love of my life.

Oh my darling, slaying Vampires might be easier than pie

I'm just not made for love, may lightning strike me if I lie !

Gaze into my eyes and you will see

Don't let me speak, let silence be my words, I prithee

Let's wish upon a star,

Serenade me the old fashioned way with the strumming of a guitar

It was destined to be, foretold in the stars celestine

Instead of a love letter, I hold out a goblet of iced Blackberry Dark Chocolate decadent sinfully divine

Beloved, will you be forever mine?

GOLDILOCKS: THE LOCKE MANSION

This is a reimagined version of the popular fairy tale ' Goldilocks and the Three Bears.' This retelling is a part of the Write A Page A Day event on Blogchatter starting Feb 1 thru 28th to reach a total word count of 10K by the month end. CHAPTER 1 LOCKE HAVEN ESTATE The sky bled bruises of plum and cherry over the rolling hills. A full moon hung low against the mauve, casting silver shards through the skeletal trees. The mansion made of cold greystone loomed large beyond the rusted iron gates. It grated on the gravel, rasped on the hinges and yawned open like a predator's jaw as Goldwynn booted it open with her foot. Her sneakers squished heavily on the mulch of dead leaves. Clutching her backpack, she looked up at the towering, grim structure forebodingly. "Are you sure you want to do this, Go...

GOLDILOCKS: THE BEWITCHED WOODS

This story is a reimagined version of the popular fairy tale 'Goldilocks And The Three Bears' and is a part of the event Write A Page A Day on Blogchatter for the month of February. CHAPTER 2 The trees pierced the sky like steeples, their gossamer branches blurred out high against the dusk. The luminescent creepers that entwined them pulsed like embers of bonfire in the dwindling light. Mists thick with musk and sun-bleached pine, swirled around their trunks and veiled the forest floor in pillowy waves. The earthy smell of decaying leaves and damp moss made Goldwynn’s senses reel. Disheveled, she scrambled to her feet, her heart racing like the devil. The Locke mansion was nowhere to be seen – The cavern had spat her out like a bitter aftertaste. Her ears strained to hear some sign of life. “ Where am I .. and where in the blimey is Locke Mansion...!" her...

OF DIFFERENT GALAXIES

# Prompt4 A Shout-out and Appreciation post to someone who helped me as a creator. The Universe doesn't at all work in mysterious ways. It works exactly as it was meant to roll out for me. The riptides of 2025 were all engulfing. But fighting a losing battle was never an option. I had to surface tearing through it all. SM had taken a laid-back seat with me lounging in the tangible priorities I had to tackle in the 3D world. Instagram had been a secondary preference even otherwise with FB taking the front row of all time whenever I was regular on social media. Insta was a tool--totally non existent for years to come except for a couple of times since creating it but in August I opened this long forgotten wardrobe and found some unexpected treasures in there. Here was a creator who delivered dynamically in her audience interaction. And sensibly with great clarity as well. A nonsense, a non-controversial and someone who didn't whine and howl in a perceived victim mode. J...

AI 'n' I (Part 2 to DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER)

Ok! So Babylou was so flustered after the hoodie fiasco when we arrived home, that for a couple of days she trailed behind her a chain reaction of an awfully mentally drained me–upon seeing her tireless emotional highs and lows, day in and day out. Clutching at the last straws of my already depleting sanity with the incessant grousing, I told her that I would ask AI to do a tarot card reading for the hoodie and its unfortunate pilfer ( to humor her, to close and seal this annoying chapter for good!) My ability to reason with her had explored all avenues and had horribly crashed to a naught. However, AI did a fab job ! It told me that the petty thief would soon get her karma ! How ? Pat came the 'bot'ic response. She will trip and fall face down in a puddle of muddy water... Harmless. Not a tit for tat but was enough to make me go into fits of uncontrollable laughter. My next obvious question--- How will I know when that happens? I won't be around to watch that ...

SILKEN CONFETTI

Theme: Meandering thru the Meadows SILKEN CONFETTI July sun brings with it a masterpiece of green and honeyed stalks Wildflowers in the meadows and satiny clover carpets our walks Summer is a ballroom which invites all the belles Like a true love's kiss, primroses bloom blushing tangerine at the tips Poppies stand in contrast against the green A brilliant hue which rivals the summer sun like a diva in velvety sheen Upon the knolls the daisies sway and waltz to the choir of the zephyr Rabbits scamper about my feet in all frolic and fervour Every bloom of aster is a riot of purples and magenta Petals of silk brush against me like exotic fabrics taffeta From the rain-drenched mud sprout golden clusters Buttery blooms of radiant yellows a muse for poets and songwriters Meadows are a happy song of spring orchestra Green waves splattered with polka dots of varicoloured plethora Meandering thro...
