A new blog to contain answers to prompts

Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas " became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one.

Cool water cascading to low ground

I agree that looking back isn't a negative; only by looking back can we trace and learn from our successes and, yes, our failures. Both have something to teach us and ignoring those valuable lessons is perilous.

Now that's a tour allright! I wonder what he did in the new city?

Dinner with Maggie sounds perfect to me but then I have my moments of being a hopeless romantic. Very nice story, Joy,

Lyv's dance compettion was today and one of her performances was invited back to preform in the closing showcase. The musical theater routine was done to Haus of Holbein from the Musical Six. The girls rocked their dance.

Don't forget the clocks go ahead tonight.

Awesome poem/story Joy

Lyv picked two words that I added to the random word list this time. I can't wait to show her what you came up with. Lyv chose denial and normal.

Kiya, thanks.
With ai, I take what I am able to use, and leave the rest alone. It's going to change again, anyway.
If they leave bedside nursing to ai, they better do away with old folks like me ASAP. :D

In response to "Learning & the 21st Century"

So very true, Joy.
I'm just worried about how AI is taking over and how one is to adapt really.
I guess I'm lucky (?) to be in a job that might not be requiring AI to completely take over - well until they develop robots that can step in to do bedside nursing - but who knows how things will change anyway?
Being in the medical field itself is a learning process every single day - new diseases and medications are rolled out so much now, we have to try to keep up with all of that.

The Girl Can’t Help Herself

Prompt:
Begin your entry with---The girl can't help herself.
It's your blog, have fun writing a short story or a poem or just a rant.

-----------

The Girl Can’t Help Herself

The girl can’t help herself,
although she knows nostalgia lies
she hoards old summers like contraband
and ticket stubs, cassettes, letters of his
the smell of rain on her borrowed jacket

and then, she rants at time for moving on
without her, for sanding down the edges
of faces she loved, and especially one,
and for turning payphones into fossils
and promises into museum glass

since her every memory argues back, loud,
unfinished, aching to be right here, and still,
she shouts his name like truth, her truth
no artificial intelligence can understand
because the girl can't help herself.
