Flash 55 PLUS!

Greetings to all poets and friends. It is time for the Flash 55 Challenge! The rules of this prompt have not changed: Write a piece of poetry or prose on a subject of your choice in precisely 55 WORDS.



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PLUS!

 For the OPTIONAL EXTRA part of this challenge, I invite you to consider the theme of the GHOST TOWN. Follow THIS LINK to view and read about some of the 'world's eeriest ghost towns'.

Feel free to post more than one 55-word piece to this prompt, which will remain first on the Home Page until Tuesday morning. Please return to enjoy the poetry of fellow poets.

Thanks, Michael. My reentry is slow, I'm afraid. Still not quite myself but getting there.

Ghost towns... The most scary ones are those where everybody left in haste...

Hello, everybody. I've been a bit absent lately, happily busy with a succession of visitors. Wasn't up-to-date with your news Kerry; glad you are now recovering.

I'm glad to be here again. Flash 55 is one of my favourites, and the Ghost Town theme fed straight into stuff that's been going on for me. :)

Sanaa, I tried twice to comment on your poem but I received an error message.
I love the poem, and hope to be able to leave my thoughts on your blog.

Great to see you hosting, commenting and posting here at this post-office to the stars. Sanaa, I tried to comment to on your fine poem but couldn't get through a firewall telling me to set cookies and flash. Anyone else hate all the security barriers which make intimate conversations so laborious? Ghost towns have no such barbed wire!

Nice prompt, lots of ways to go. Finally I posted. Good night, all.
BTW, my younger daughter and KP (youngest granddaughter) are in London, arrived yesterday and are staying with friends. This would be in Central London, near Regents' Park. I will try to use a few of their pictures in future posts. Some of mine from Regents' Park have been posted before, both blogs.
