Tim’s words at Real Toads:
bang believe bite broken calypso climb
crickets
cryptic carriage
drumbeat edgy fancy master leverage
moon precipice pepper rapidly thrust soufflé
Thomg’s 3 Word Wednesday:
anticipate serene
fearless
She felt a little edgy
to believe the worst
Fancy a cryptic message bang on the table
It was delivered a while ago. Little did she
anticipate a serene morning to bring bad
tidings. It broke her little heart
Drumbeat of rapidly broken tunes bite into
her memory. A calypso
of shrill crickets sound
permeates the air thrust
upon the precipice
of life’s concerns
She had yearnings of
becoming a master chef to
climb and bid
for the moon. It is a
calling peppered
with designs of soufflé entrees, salads and desserts to
leverage on
Mom’s specialties. This is the carriage
of conscience upon her shoulders borne of a family
tradition
Sadly it is not to be. If only she had been able to
surmount the first hurdle it would have been
plain sailing
She is determined to try again! Her fearless nature
takes over the bidding
Written for Tim’s potpourri of words in Real Toads - Get Listed - of Cat Nips and Moon

Two prompts in one! Well done, kiddo. Love this tale of cookery!
ReplyDeleteIf at first you don't succeed, try try again
ReplyDeleteNicely done. Thanks for taking up my word challenge! This made me hungry.
ReplyDeletehey when you have a dream you just have to get after it and not let the lumps take you out of it....i wish i knew some of the fancy stylings to cooking...
ReplyDeleteHope she makes it this time. This leads to my mother's favourite saying when I was a child 'If at first you don't succeed try try again.'
ReplyDeleteWell done, Hank! Two word lists combine to make a tasty meal of these prompts.
ReplyDeleteK
oh, for plain sailing.
ReplyDeleteI second that! However, life is usually filled with shipwrecks!
DeleteTwo prompts! Wow! Well done. Reminds me a little of the cooking series Chopped and the background storie of the Chefs.
ReplyDeleteCan never stop moving forward
ReplyDeletewonderful that she will try again. That is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteIt's not as easy as it looks for sure! I love to cook, but I could never do it in front of a demanding audience. Nice work with the list words, Hank.
ReplyDeleteOne of my sons is a chef ... I certainly related to the story in your poem.
ReplyDeleteBeing a chef is demanding, but I feel the woman in this piece will succeed....
ReplyDeletefor a minute... just a minute, I thought crickets were on the menu
ReplyDeleteI love that you turned this into a mini story! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteHow clever of you to use two word lists and come up with something so unique.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad tale of angst and dreams unfulfilled.
