A new blog to contain answers to prompts
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas Open in new Window. 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.

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
