A new blog to contain answers to prompts

Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas " became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one.

Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

I agree with Sue, very poignant reminders as we age.

Happy Yule, Joy! Solstices are celebrated by this girl, because they are an important part of Wiccan beliefs.

Lyn's a Witchy Woman

Funny we should have in our families those two superstitions in common. I think the Saturday thing might have been influenced by the Jewish Sabbath, but to the best of my knowledge, my family wasn't Jewish. As to knocking on wood, I'm curious about it. I think I'll run a search on that.

My grandma wouldn't do laundry on Saturday either. And they always knocked on wood.

I don't share in superstitions either.

In response to "Memorable Books"

I read so many books until the last few years when my eyes don't cooperate so much and I've switched more and more to audiobooks.

However, some in my past that stick out would be, in no particular order:
A Little Princess
Jane Eyre
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
The Feminine Mystique
The Fabric of the Cosmos
The Midnight Library

There are many more that I've read and loved, but those each had a particular message or theme that resonated strongly.

I always try to resolve issues. Determination. We can't let life get us down. Good entry and uplifting.

Self publish for Amazon? I mean you share with us but we are a small audience.

Thank

you so very much for your kind words and advice.
I've been published in my earlier days, some academically; however, I have, long ago, decided not to deal with any publishers. Too much unnecessary work!

Bag of Bones

Prompt:
Take any cliche and subvert it to bring it alive again in a poem or a blog entry.

-----------

Bag of Bones

They said, "This baby, a bag of bones!"
and rattled, "She may not even throw stones"
a bag of bones, where my shadow lies
World War II, macabre with gray skies.

But dreams I've built and spells I've cast,
I charted my course, battled the past.
Alas, today, other lines are drawn,
fears of war wail from dusk to dawn.

Although people speak in whispers low,
in death's embrace, demons can grow.
So, this bag of bones sways and waits...
as, just one click, next war dictates.

Such a shame it is, to undo the seams!
Or let's mend the world, guard our dreams?
I hold my breath and hear the moans
and warnings from all bags of bones.
