Saturday Centus I'm Living the

Greetings on this sun-less (so far) Saturday for,


SATURDAY CENTUS


This Saturday Jenny, from "Off on my tangent" blog seems to be stuck on exact word counts.  Won't this get confusing?  She says, our centus must be 100 exact words, and contain the prompt, "I'm living the dream, man"  that quote is so (well let's just say "man" is annoyingly overused) but there is a man behind it (an old boss) who said this day in and day out.

Anyway, Jenny is letting us do this with as many photos as we'd like, in any style of writing, it's just up to our creative minds.

My centus,










Has your life ever been so prosaic?


That your evening


Dreams bring you to where you need to be?


Care to follow a little dirt road with me?


Zigzagging here and there






In search of escapades


Of tranquility and amusing adventures


We’ll see





A rage of endless whispering fields






Beautiful colored blossoms


That chatter a worthy song


If you have time to listen


A great orderliness river waiting below





Flowing past my memory


Of  yesterday’s -


horrible could be forest


But rather endless vocations.


Today stretches tall against our skies,


reaching for tomorrow, no matter what


"I'm  living the dream, man."





I just know you want to play along too, or at least observe other Saturday Centus posts so please go here

I used a disposable camera.

Saturday Centus - April 30, "Happy Anniversary, Man"

Clocks: by Henry Van Dyke, "For those who love, time is eternity."

      Welcome to another charming installment of Saturday Centus!  This week Jenny has decided in honor of this being the first year celebration for Saturday Centus being "One year running this year......"  I'm sure you know where I'm going with this.......have you guessed already what her prompt for this week could be?  In case it hasn't come to you yet it's,

"Although the traditional gift for a first year anniversary is paper...."  and if you feel the urge to create one too just go here

     Their first kiss brought tears to their eyes; knowing it was losing her grandmother’s watch that brought them together. She was heartbroken until he, the ship’s Captain placed it in her hands. Once their eyes met, a sudden burst of emotion took them by surprise. Their next five years brought them many pleasures underneath the blissful skies of Algiers.
     A year ago today they took their eternal pledge plunging into life’s stickiness, and togetherness soothed away any turmoil.   Although the traditional gift for the first anniversary is paper,  their gift was kissing underneath this unique clockwork wearing each other’s handmade paper watches.


Remember if you want to play along to just go here
