Mid Week Motif - Poets United
The first one is a deliciously surprising moment :)
ReplyDeleteNo, not falling asleep--following the rhythm of each surprise. My favorite is lusting after the poet instead of the children! My thoughts jump like this at times, and it is very surprising to find that most people do not experience that associative, jumping Jill thought structure as normal.
ReplyDeleteGoodness Susan, are you saying that we are not normal? Well that does come as a surprise...LOL
DeleteThe surprise of breakfast in bed would be great! Love them all.
ReplyDeleteLovely surprises here. Happy Wednesday
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Love this especially the third one!❤️
ReplyDeleteA wonderful, quirky ride!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I loved every one of these!
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprising delightful collection for our amusement today. They are not that surprising really as you always entertain your readers this way but I thought I had better include the prompt word!
ReplyDeleteI hope the first one is Breakfast in Bed - that would be delightful indeed ;)
ReplyDeleteEach is as wonderful as the other.. by the last one you had set the tone and I as a reader was not falling asleep :)
not THAT poet!!! love that!!
ReplyDeleteSurprised now by being able to get out of bed? Just wait a few more years!
