Games for Sunday Scribbling

Sunday Scribblings prompts with  the topic of games.

I've never met a board or card game I didn't like but game-playing people go against my grain. You know the type. The type that rattled Lucy. Where do they come from? Those with the self-determined solutions for un-asked questions? 


My current favorite games are Quiddler, Domino Trains, Scrabble and, if I can win one time, I might like a bit of chess even though it's almost too slow for me. I'm in a hurry. And not much good at strategizing.

Truly, I'm there for the giggles. Last summer I was teaching a little kid to play SlapJack and found a lot more laughs and slaps with a double deck of pinochle cards instead of the standard deck.

S for ABC Wednesday

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 5: S is for.....

Upside or Down

a small slip of ivy
the heart of ess
curls round my thumb
fashions a smile
a sense of spring
symbolic and green

the original sin
shaped by an asp
morphs to blood stains
on spreadsheets and
scripts the bottom line
of snakes in the grass

sweet and sensual
serendipitous
curves to a spiral
the siren call
of the seasonal ess
a small slip of ivy


This edited re-post is a favorite of mine and I hope you'll enjoy it as well.

a clean mantle falls
through the dark on hills and town
the virgin white snow
reflecting first morning light
autumn's rain-soaked gray turns bright

R for ABC Wednesday

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 5: R is for......Respect!

I've always claimed Red as my favorite color. You know. RED.

When I began to watercolor, RED took on a number of names and shades. And more, until the list outgrew me. There were many Reds that I mistakenly called pinks and browns.

As always, Wikipedia provides an answer for everything Red  including a lengthy list of Reds along with matching color chips. Each of these sites is full of wonderful information.

Looking at this litany of Reds brought on an urge to color something. Anything. An urge to replace the gray of today with vivid, life-sustaining RED. So, I'm off to play with color on my Bamboo Fun Tablet which is similar to watercoloring without the mess.

Red, it is.

Delphi for Sunday Scribblings

Sunday Scribblings offers Oracle as the weekly prompt.

Delphi


In the N'awlins dusk
her palms turn up
for heaven's alms.
Magenta silks wrap thick
around her neck, slick
down across her gown.

Your long fine lines, said she,
foretell a first-class life.
I cross her palms with silver.
Unforeseen, that humid night
draws the Delphi's final gig
of Danse Macabre by trolley.

Cycliku for 3WW

ThomG, moderator of 3WordWednesday, offers these words for prompt: hanker, murky, errant

an errant hanker
overcomes his murky mind
chaos tweaks the string
a hundred nightmares reel when
chaos tweaked the string
overcame his murky mind
with errant hankers

Q for ABC Wednesday

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 5: Qis for......Questions and answers!

fiery leaf

teases gray backdrop

winter laughs

 
Quintessential is a word that sings to my ear.

Quintessential fills the cracks which remain when describing a particular something. Quintessential holds the essence of that something in its most pure and concentrated form.

The photograph is, to me, Quintessential Autumn.

Thanks to Loch Rob of A Small Look Inside for this week's prompt, departed.

gold and sienna
lifted away like geese v's
winter's nude branches


skins abandoned
boxes collect her blunders
skeleton keys


in late hours
mistakes moisten her eyes
tide sweeps the sand

failing to obey
she staked future on a wish
withered her labyrinth of days

P for ABC Wednesday

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 5: P is for...Problems?

Pointillism. A form of detailed painting which is made by thousands and thousands of tiny dots. It's fallen out of favor in the recent years due to the massive amount of time and energy it consumes. A friend of mine worked on one for half her life and found that when it was finished she disliked it with a passion. Not a good thing.

I've never attempted it. Not long on patience and definitely short of dedication, I turned to watercolor because it often paints itself. A little water, a little pigment, a piece of paper and a few turns of the paper often manages to make an underpainting to be finished with a few broad strokes and a bit of negative painting.

The image is one of my first watercolors, an underwater scene, which I opened in Adobe Photoshop Elements to invert its color and then used the Pointillize filter. It shows a bit of the action required by this form of painting.

And that was the end of my patience.
