I want you to write about the roof caving in.
No retreads, please. No off-topic haiku about the pretty flowa. Gimme disaster, baby, then sign the linky so the schadenfreude can begin!

Fireblossom Friday (On Wednesday)
Ay caramba. It's me, Fireblossom, back from the land of broken keyboards. Who knew spray cleaner could be so deadly? Last Friday, Mama Zen kindly stood in for me, so here I am, standing in it on a Wednesday!
My original day to post was December 7th, which is Pearl Harbor Day here in the United States. My misadventure with Spic N Span has only filled me with a terrible resolve (Resolve?) to go with my original theme ... calamities.
I want you to write about the roof caving in.
Tell me about a bad diagnosis
or a failed romance.
Write a poem about getting that pink slip, or slipping down some other slippery slope.
They say, if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you don't understand the situation!

It just so happens we had a natural disaster in town this week.
ReplyDeleteLove the cat quote.
ReplyDeleteThere will be more "roofs caving in" from my pen. This is just the first that came to mind. Thank you for hitting the ground running after your computer keyboard disaster.
ReplyDeleteBasement CAT! ha ha A true disaster.... will have to think on this one... No pretty flowers ruined by my lack of a green thumb? Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYikes! Can I just go with a random diary entry?
ReplyDeleteI have a long workday today, kids, but will visit and comment as I am able - and catch up tomorrow:) Back later!
ReplyDelete'They say, if you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you don't understand the situation!' Ha, that made me laugh...I think "they" may be right.
ReplyDeleteWhoa...slippery slope! Which one, eenie, meanie?! ;D I'll be back~
ReplyDeleteHappy all is going well for you and a belated Happy Anniversary~
This should be easy All my poems are disasters. Great prompt, FB.
ReplyDeleteI will submit mine a bit late... busy with kids at school and the art intensive "showcase" at college.
ReplyDeleteI tried, so points for effort
ReplyDeleteMy calamity is personal..I hadn't spoken about it in ages...
ReplyDeleteToads, work is kicking my happy little ass, but I am off on Friday and will be around then. Plz be patient with me!
ReplyDeleteall my poems are disasters, too, but i wrote about the roof caving in :)
ReplyDeleteI am ever a day behind these days, but no matter. Inspiring, Fireblossom. Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteUGH - the image of this calamity has never left me nor do I think it ever will.
ReplyDeleteGreat prompt, o fiery one! Just dodged a bullet on an MRI of my brain and I'm sick of writing about depression et al., so how about getting gloriously fired?! I love stories with happy endings. Amy

so much calamity, which to choose? off to ponder
ReplyDeleteThis one took me a while. My mother in law was just diagnosed with breast cancer and is still not back in her home after Hurricane Sandy. My own mother has battled breast cancer twice. My father has had esophageal cancer. Cancer really does suck.
ReplyDeleteHere I am finally..be 'round to toads. :)
