Batman's Rouge's Gallery
Fandango’s one word challenge: Gallery
The first thought that popped up in my head for Fandango’s word for today was a comic book that I used to enjoy reading when I was an up-and-coming youth. That comic book was Detective Comics (DC) Batman’s Rogue Gallery.
Each story in that monthly comic book series have Batman pitted against his frequent foes. The battle of wits, detective work, and…

B&W Tuesday
“Pieta” sited in Worcester Cathedral to commemorate some renovation work by 40 artists in the 90’s to the Cathedral. And short of having not much else to say today as I’ve spent 5 hours driving to Cardiff and back, return journey in a bloody rainstorm I’ll add, had a 6 hour meeting, ate too much lunch and did a joint presentation which was slightly spoiled for me by me (not for anyone else) by…

Public Art
Daily writing promptHow are you feeling right now?View all responses
I like wandering, and I love re-discovering old haunts and being surprised when I visit new places nearby that I’ve missed in my wandering. It keeps me feeling engaged, happy, and in tune with the world.
I’ve spent some time this last year touring around New England and viewing the public artwork installed on the streets,…

EMPATHY
FOWC with Fandango — Empathy
I know almost everyone takes these words and uses them as part of a sentence or story. In this case, empathy is a word that is frequently misused, so I thought I’d point out the difference between “sympathy” and “empathy.”
Definitely empathy
If you are sympathetic, you feel for someone else. You understand the nature of their problems, history, or whatever. You may…

Bring In The Goods
The Port of Savannah a major US terminal
Georgia Port-Savannah
The CMA CGM Libra was built in 2010 and is sailing under the flag of Malta. To put this size of this ship in perspective just think about each container being the size of a rail car.
The Georgia Port in Savannah was the fourth busiest in 2021.
If you happen to be shopping for new furniture, or electronics a shipment may be arriving at the Port Of Savannah.

Sweet Heat -- 2022.05.08
So much struggle to say something . . .
to create something . . .
Interesting
#poem #poetry #cinquain #mirrored-cinquain #robssurfreport #writer #blog #mead #wine #homebrew
Listen:finding my earsbefore looking for wordsmeans a whole lot of not speakingmy mind,where my thoughts collect without form;dying unknown, alonein that umbralvacuum.
I don’t know how some of you do it. Day after day, some writers come back and find something to say, something to share.
I’m jealous.
I often find myself apparently empty, without too much to say. Or somehow, perhaps I have too…

Giving Animals Respect in Their Habitat
Giving Animals Respect in Their Habitat
Photo Credit to Pobble 365
His black shadow that was against the sky
Caused me to stop right there in my tracks.
He looked frail, yet I knew I should fear him,
So I turned aound and found my way back.
Sequestered in a house in the forest,
I knew that this was his home, not mine.
So, I approached the bridge very quietly,
Saddened by his trial, for they were in decline.
He had a right to…

Becoming Better
Ben drove his beat-up, blue Ford truck into a packed parking lot. He glanced over at his younger sister, brows furrowed with concern, “Leela, I don’t why you insist on coming to these things. You know how Mom and Dad worry.”Leela’s nervous smile vanished as she turned to face him, “And, why do you think they worry?”Letting out a frustrated sigh, Ben ran a hand through his fluffy brown hair. “It’s…

My Idea
Over the Christmas Holidays I got a little lost.
I tried to make merry, I tried to ho-ho-ho, I desperately tried to jingle all the way.
What I learned was that had I approached Christmas the way I go about celebrating Halloween I would have enjoyed the season a lot more.
I don’t mean that I should have put up a black Christmas tree and festooned it with bones, little severed body parts and…

Exercise: Write a Paradox
Word: inch and permanent
We like to try to keep this in character story line but can’t think of a paradox.
Though we do us the “Silence is deafening” often.
We through together a patch that became a permanent temporary solution — oops.
No idea how to use inch in a paradox lol.

Rock and Roll
Its party time, the type of party where I cook a pizza in a deserted house, listen to records, flick through Twitter and drink a few cans of beer. Everyone is out out, except for me, poor me, a lesser substitute for the absolute legend I used to be! Says me. It’s nearly 10pm and i’m thinking of going to bed to read my book. That’s rock and roll. Mrs T is in Dublin with the girls wrecking it like…

Cribbage, Lights List and Coastal Pilot
Cribbage, Lights List and Coastal Pilot
The broken cribbage board and the Coast Pilot Take me back to the days when I learned to “Hand, Reef, and Steer” aboard the 34-foot ketch Psyche. The lovely thing about the ketch rig is that you have a wide choice of sails and sail configurations. Pick the right combo, and the boat will “wing on wing” before light air leaving you to enjoy the sail. The less fun part of the ketch rig is gaining…

Solitaire -- 2022.04.08-10
A haiku sonnet for the weekend --
#poem #poetry #haiku #sonnet #robssurfreport #poemaday #writer #blog
A solitaire calls:“that’s a wrap!”no stage fright afoot.
Nobody‘s foolfearlessly facingits laden plate
Nervous sweat falls asthe mourning do,their grief feeds the root.
Fighting backthe impulse to wiltat this state
Thriving as the living doSurviving as we fight too
