Linda G Hill says “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “-ay.” Find a word ending in “ay” and use it as the theme/subject of your post. Play with it, I say!”

walk of shame
Saturday arrives bright and noisy
Don’t open those curtains I am not ready.
Dawn crashes on the horizon announcing another day.
Stop now , sod off I don’t want to play , not yet go away!
Oh! where am I this time, a stranger’s room, what game did I play
OMG ! he is still asleep, next to me, must go get away
Don’t need the shame if he wakes and offers me pay!
Look at me, make up smudged clothes soiled what can I say.
Out on the street feeling like hell. I must get home, wash this guy away
Just walk . Don’t let me meet anyone I know, I pray.
Straighten my back deep breath one foot after the other hide the drunken sway.
Tears come, hurt, shame, loneliness what is there for me ? My nerves snap and fray.
Dawn crashes on the horizon announcing another day.
Stop now , sod off I don’t want to play , not yet go away!

Goodbye to the old Badge
Hello to new Badge
The old badge was donated by Doobster who has gone cloudbusting elsewhere.
The New badge comes to us c/o My Leaky Boat
Here are the rules:
1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing, (typos can be fixed) and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.
2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.
3. There will be a prompt every week. Linda will post the prompt on her blog on Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a subject. For instance, Linda will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” or “Begin with the word ‘The’.”
4. Ping back! It’s important, so that Linda and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of Linda’s post into yours. Your link will show up in Linda’s comments, for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top.
5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read everyone’s! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later, or go to the previous week, by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find right below the “Like” button on Linda’s post.
6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!
7. Have fun!
