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 enjoy quiet moments too, especially in nature.

In response to "Shadows, Soft or Strong"

Shadows are interesting - always there, silent witnesses to all we do.

In response to "On Helicopters"

I've taken two trips in an Army helicopter, out to two remote sites in West Germany - one after the other - and then back. I was a young troop and I'd volunteered to be a Payroll Guard. It was also the only time I ever carried a .45 caliber pistol. An interesting time.

In response to "To the Pink Moon"

I love the last couplet. It's a profound declaration that many of us moon lovers can relate. I've seen many moons in my lifetime, yet I never miss looking up at the moon and thanking her for being there with us.

In response to "On Helicopters"

I've flown in a helicopter too. It was from Nice France to Monaco, the view was incredible.

I think part of today's problems is that corners are being cut to lower the cost, first in the construction and then less maintenance. Look at our cars they used to be metal now they're either plastic or fiberglass and more lives are lost.

In response to "What Are We Fishing For?"

I think the real catch is already within us.

I used to go deep sea fishing with my father until I got sunstroke. Man I was so sick I ended up in the hospital. I never wanted to go fishing again.

Books

Prompt: Words
Hope your Thanksgiving was everything you needed it to be.
Please use these words in your entry today: bargain, disaster, bookstore, groceries, walk, chocolate, and peanuts.

----------

Books

those simple joys in life, they keep me warm
no simple storm ever can steal their charm

like today, I *walked with my spirit high
just to pass rows of stores where goods could lie

with treasures and *bargains, as if a game
but an ancient *bookstore did call my name

so I now picked books in spines of gold
edges worn with many-a-tale untold

as if tasting *chocolate, rich and deep
and scent of *peanuts roasting, just to sweep

me off my feet; yet, when I left the store
it was squalls, rain, and life tested me more

a *disaster, no less, my patience was worn
"no *groceries now, for my wallet's torn!"

I clutched my books since my heart would be fed
still I could laugh and then, press ahead

books with joys of fancy keep me warm
and no storm today can steal their charm
