Meander 1 _Poem - The Fun House

She wanders through the house of thrills.
Eerie noises, screams and shrieks
Tapping on her spine.
Fun house
But is she sure?
As nightmares come to haint her steps
Gooseflesh covers her skin
And sends her voice into ultrasonic notes.
Spiders dangle web her arms
And back she jumps to get away.
Mirrors show - distort her soul.
Do they see what others see?
A gust of wind lifts her skirt.
She giggles, looks around and hopes.
A maze of horror - Demon laughter
And she is lost inside.

Meander 2 Thinking about crossword puzzles. While eating my lunch I have a fork in one hand and a pencil in the other. While chewing the salad greens, I find the clues and fill in the spaces. I'm amazed sometimes as to how easily I solve one puzzle and how the next one seems hard. Just one wrong letter and one can't figure the word. Then in a flash - that a should be an e or some other vowel. I find crossword puzzles give my mind a rest and sometimes are a goad to what I'm writing.

Meander 3 _ Writing. The past week had me jumping here and there and finding little time to keep pushing at the writing. I'm pretty much at the same stage as I was last week. This week I vow to do better. To finish the draft of the story I'm working on and to type a lot to make the next draft possible since that will finish the story. Then it's on to a new one and I have some ideas on that one.

Meander 1 - Poem Cat and Mouse

Smile a subtle grin in Mond Lisa fashion.
What was once the mouse
Has tuned around to fight.
The cat is in the corner
And all around the house
There is a gathering of darkness
Of what should never be.
The mouse will tease and play the cat
And then it will escape
To sit in its little hidey hold.
Oh, who us the cat.
It's you.

Meander 2 - Nutcracker - The yearly show. This year was great and I saw all three grandchildren perform on the same night. There are nine performances, I believe so the chances of this happening is rare. Grandson is in all the performances. Boys are scarce. The children all performed flawlessly. I'm very proud of them.

Meander 3 - Writing is going not as fast as I wanted but this will change. There are always other things to do at this time of year. The wizards will soon all be typed in and then there will be a last run through. I'm pretty sure it will be good in January. As for the other project we need to meet but there are some ideas coming and so we will meet, hopefully soon so I can get the show on the road. For my friend, this heroine is very different from her others who usually speak their minds. Will have fun figuring what she wants to happen.
