CCC238: Little Malcolm

Little Malcolm was a horror
Something wrong inside his head
His mother said
The doctors gave him medications
The psychiatrist suggested meditations
But when Little Malcolm stole the lifebuoy
Life marked the horrid boy as dead

Crimson’s Creative Challenge # 238

Here’s how it works:

Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE

Here are some suggestions:

  • An answering photo
  • A cartoon
  • A joke
  • A caption
  • An anecdote
  • A short story (flash fiction)
  • A poem
  • A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
  • An essay
  • A song—the lyrics or the performance

You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:

  • Your creative offering is indeed yours
  • Your writing is kept to 150 words or less

If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory) by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)

Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN

Squaring a Circle

5th May dawned magnificently bright and clear. Yet forecasts warned of a thunderstorm in early afternoon. We decided not to go too far from home, instead we circled the town: through the churchyard, down to seafront, along the beach, a cut across a housing estate to Bure Park beside River Bure, and back to home. Here we go…

The park has everything… trees

Water…and a swan’s nest…

Cosy grassy glades…

And white poplars alongside the Bure

And by the look of that sky, we might just make it home in time!

Flying the Flag

5th May 2023 

With the coronation of King Charles III imminent, the town was hung with flags (ok, a few were flying). So when I saw this I assumed it was one belonging to our royal family (btw this is the reverse view). But when I got home and googled it, it belongs to a Bavarian Brewery: Weihenstephaner and probably bears the heraldic arms of Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria. But it’s still a flag and still starts with ‘F’.

Starts with ‘F’: one of the titles from Maria Antonia’s #2023picofthe week

CCC237: Hoop-la

Hoop-la
Tyre off a car
Spinning in air
Landing far.

Bend in road
Misbalanced load
I should have read
Highway code.
