“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.†― Paulo Coelho, Alchemist
———————————————————————————————————
Mama, mama, I had a dream!
Tell me, child.
When I’m grown I’m going to tell how beautiful we can be if we only love one another.
That is a wonderful dream, son.

Trifecta asked us to write 33 words with the quote from Paolo Coelho as our inspiration. These are mine – where are yours?
The car parked at the end of the street was just like any other car at the end of any other street. Except . . . this was Kristy’s street – and it was HIS car.
Slamming the screen door Kristie strode to the driver’s window – reached out – tapped – HARD.
“Dang it, Austin! Get off my street! I don’t want you here. Get on – get out!
The window lowered. “You’ve got the wrong car, girlie. I ain’t Austin. But I’d be happy to get to know you, if you know what I mean.â€
Kristie’s face contorted with pain. The screen door slammed behind her.

VV’s 100 word challenge this week is CONTORTED.
He turned water into wine
To save the wedding feast
Alchemy in its purest form
Unexplainable by science
He gathers my tears
Changing them into joy
No wizardry this
Pure, unadulterated, Father’s love

The Trifecta challenge: 33-333 words using ALCHEMY in its 3rd definition. Here are 33 of mine . . . where are yours?
Wash behind your ears
Clean between your toes
Don’t chew your fingernails
Don’t pick your nose
Don’t cross your eyes
Your face will surely freeze
Remember, cover your mouth
Whenever you must sneeze

Trifecta’s weekend challenge asked for some advice. I haven’t read anyone else’s advice, but I wouldn’t be TOO surprised if someone doesn’t say something along this line. Edited to add another couplet to rhyme “freeze”. It is said that a poem is never finished, just abandoned.

Not part of the original 33, but added because I don’t want to miss an opportunity to do so – esp. after the full month I have had with training and Alaska Governor Sean Parnell’s 4th annual Choose Respect event, I give you the following advice I would offer a son, if I had one – and what I say to my grandsons.
—————————————–
My Son
If you ask for the cherry
from her sundae and
she says No
honor that No
Someday she may offer it
Treat the offer with respect
Always respect
Always love
Always, my son
