I’m so relieved my writer’s block is now unblocked. Yesterday after I finished my blog and posted it, I was able to compose the Wacky Holiday piece quickly.
The Valentine’s Word was YOU’RE CUTE/CUTIE; a word found on conversational hearts. I’m still going with the candy heart theme. Cute is a word that in my opinion refers to an individual who is not beautiful, pretty, gorgeous or handsome but there is an adorable way about them; they are sweet and can be charming. Personally I’d rather a cute individual as compared to someone who thinks they are all that and a bag of chips, hot chips in fact. A beautiful or handsome face can be fine on the outside but rotten and nasty inside. I’ve found this time and again. To me a cute person is a fair individual and doesn’t use their looks for gain. Of course this is all my opinion.
In the piece CUTIE woman have not thought of the guy as cute or a hottie until someone else pointed it out. It tells you that people sure can be easily swayed by a word or two.
In the second piece the guy is determined a player by many due to his looking for a rose and not seeing the orchid hidden among the roses. In a way it’s my take off on a country western song by Mickey Gilles called “I Overlooked an Orchid”. Orchids are indeed a rare beautiful flower. Actually these have been fun pieces to compose. I am an observer of people; love putting them into scenarios. I can imagine the guy thinking he’d rather have the richer of the two women; one who has an ugly heart over the other. Why? Some people are materialistic. Possessions are temporary but a true and loving heart is always.
Terry’s daily word of yesterday was MAFFLARD. It is described as a stammering or blundering fool. I took it as a challenge to use the word about the guy who just can’t talk to his heart throb. In a way it reminds me of Cyrano de Bergerac; so what the mafflard guy needs is a plot similar to Cyrano. You do get the idea. As it is, the hearts desire in my piece is shunned by the one who is her hearts desire. Oh what a tangle web we weave.
In the end I’ll get it all sorted out.
Then I’ll have to observe new people for my plot series.
I loved doing the Wacky Holiday piece. Oh I remember many a lunches at the Woolworth’s luncheon counter. I still see the golden grilled cheese sandwich and piping hot crispy golden French fries on a Friday afternoon. Like the dinosaur and the gas jockey pumping gas in your car and checking the oil, they are things of days gone by.
Until tomorrow....today’s the seventy-six anniversary of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima; and as always Stay Safe.

CUTIE
Cute no one really thought him so
Until she mentioned that he was a hottie
Then every woman looked his way
It seemed he became a sought after man
Evidence that people can be easily swayed
🔵🟣🔵🟣🔵🟣🔵🟣🔵🟣🔵🟣🔵🟣🔵
HOW SHE SAW THINGS
She thought him cute and sweet
Adorable and charming how she saw him
Friendly to one and all....delightful to be
around
Many regarded him as a player
always seeking the wrong type of
woman....one with materialistic things
who treated people as a nonentity
Never did he consider a loving heart and
kindness worth more than gold
Among the thorny roses in his life
he could not see the orchid
🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣
TWISTED WORDS
Everyone thought him to be a MAFFLARD
could not speak a coherent sentence
His words twisted like a pretzel
whenever he spoke to her
It was no wonder she choose the other
What he needed....a Cyrano plot to help him
out
or for her to realize the other guy preferred
the rich cougar
instead of her the creative writer
Evidently he hoped she’d figure it all out
