Step Right Up

Step Right Up

Things I learned from working with advertising people for decades:

  • Never show fear. Clients can smell fear.
  • Art bows to commerce
  • Never act surprised when something you thought would never work works.
  • Always blame who isn’t in the room.

But most important of all…

  • Where there’s confusion there’s money to be made

The word for today is Confusion! Take it easy. It’s really easy, nothing to be flummoxed about. If you need help, send a message.

RDP SATURDAY: TRIANGLE
Sure they can be acute
Others are quite obtuse 
Some may not fit just right
They learn by being isosceles
When all things are equilateral
More often tend towards scalene 
But the most pleasant polygon of all
Happened long ago in the fall
Was that satisfying office triangle
With a very intense body entangle

😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

Life lived on the lips
Of a precipice
With the knowledge
A landslide of doom
Is but a foot slip
Away
Watch your step

Existential Shivers

Posted on by Pete

To deem something incomparable. Doesn’t that imply that you tried comparing it but failed. So clearly an attempt was made to compare it.  That’s downright incomprehensible. Comprehending the process of a comparison of a thing that’s incomparable just gives me the existential shivers.

Very happy Wednesday and the Ragtag Daily Prompt is incomparable. The sky here can be incomparable. What is incomparable to you? Your sky, trees, the gardens, a comfortable chair? In romance novels, especially ones loosely based on history, a woman may be nicknamed “The Incomparable” for her beauty. Tell us what you find incomparable! Link […]

RDP Wednesday: incomparable

Conjure

Posted on by Pete 
I conjure up my 
greatest work of fiction self 
story of my past

The thing I know for sure is how a film and track can be edited to tell a story in almost any way you wish. Fact and fiction spliced in any whimsically oppressive order to display a completely different timeline from the source. Ever shifting points of view filtered through hard won biases. Good thing memories are not like videotape playback. In fact memory is infinitely fungible. Just ask any eye witness three hours after any event.

Rewrite my fiction

Roll Up

Posted on by Pete 
in shadowy dusk
rolling around in the muck
then passing the buck
Craiyon

Wrapped in the muck of existence
Gives form to humanities persistence
To consume, eliminate, reproduce
Stacking things up in order to deduce
What’s needed on top of the heap
Showing stuff we’ll want to keep
Knowing these too will be swallowed up
In the infinite stream of entropy muck

The prompt for today is MUCK. Create a post using this prompt. Photos, Artwork, Poetry, Short Story…the options are limitless and then link to this page.

RDP Sunday: contemplation

A little contemplation never hurt anyone.

Sure.

Go ahead.

Be contemplative.

Think before you move.

Look before you leap.

Stick your little toe in before you dive in.

Overthink.

Second guess.

Doublethink.

Double down

Third down

Fourth and long.

Monday morning quarterback.

Enough contemplating.

Now do something

Even if it’s wrong

Doing is better than not doing anything

Or is it?

Let me think about that for a while.
