you are on my last nerve
about to topple off
your high horse
and loop da loop
like a whirlwind
a duster of sorts
bad romance
letÒ€ℒs start over
Hi, my name is . . .
—————————
those prompt trifecta editors gave us a doozy for the weekend challenge: they gave us a list of words (topple, paradigm, underneath, nerve, honey, loop) from which to pick three; we were then to add 30 of our own to make the weekend 33. The above are mine . . . now it’s your turn.

  4. Everyone could do with a reboot from time to time, sometimes in every conversation! Beautifully captured.

  5. This post reminded me of a lovely Hindi song that means… Let’s become strangers once again… Beautiful post.

  6. If only we could get these do-overs, I usually need at least a half a dozen a week. πŸ™‚

    Fun post, Barbara!

  8. Starting overs are great… would that we could all forget the first time around however…. Diane

  9. Tara R. says:

    Do-overs would be great. Maybe it’s the thin air on that high horse that makes people annoying.

    If only life had a reset button, but the science is impossible. Great now I need to watch Megamind…

  11. Tad says:

    I agree with Adaobi.

    This is funny! Do-overs would be nice sometimes, but I wonder if it would make a difference for someone sitting atop their high horse? πŸ™‚

    Romance is a whirlwind of emotions and I think you nailed that feeling with the expression “loop da loop”. To me, that’s exactly how it can feel :)))

  14. Mel says:

    OOH! I want a re-do sometimes. Especially when my foot is fully in my mouth. πŸ™‚

    Way cool Barbara!I like that idea of doing it all over again:-)Reminded me of a song from Bollywood way back from the 60’s which basically means,”let’s become strangers once again,without any expectations from each other”.

  18. Imaginative idea. I like the idea of a do-over…

    I’ve felt this way many times myself! I liked this a lot!

  20. Ritu says:

    Let’s start over! Such a cure poem

  21. Trifecta says:

    Some bad romances could use re-dos for sure.

    Thanks for linking up!

  22. Neetika says:

    That was a lot of fun to read. Nice use of the prompts!

    Great piece! I think we could all use a start-over from time to time!
