Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “start with why.” Begin your post with the word “why.” Have fun!
I went deep into my darkside for this one.
Why
Why am I so angry why am I so low
You’re driving me to distraction, why? I do not know.
Always putting everyone else first, but not me.
Always pardoning others for reasons I can’t see.
If I try to tell you to let them take their turns
You round on me and give that look that burns.
I’m sick of being wrong, having to zip my mouth.
Why not put me first, why?

Hi Saturday again and time for LindaGHill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday this week Linda’s email said: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “board/bored.” Use one, or use them both for bonus points. Enjoy!.
Are you bored? the billboard said
There’s time for that when you’re dead?
Nothing to do? The billboard asked
Get up and find yourself a task
Grab a board and catch a wave or snow slope
Fly a plane, climb on board, don’t give up hope.
Be a pirate make someone walk the plank
Hit the high board, or plan a prank.
Make a space station out of cardboard.
Dig for treasures, follow the map to find the hoad.
No get a life, get on board have some fun don’t be bored!

Hi it’s Saturday and time for us to join LindaGHill for Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Our prompt from Linda this week is: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “key.” Use it as a noun, a verb, or use it metaphorically. Have fun!“
Are you singing in key, or are you playing a keyboard, or am I just off the scale.
Key moments can slip by if we are not paying attention. Keys can mean so many things it can be a pivotal moment in your life, it can be an answer to a problem or a turning point.
Keyhole surgery: Laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure that allows a surgeon to access the inside of the abdomen (tummy) and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin. This procedure is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery.
To keep things under lock and key is to keep them secret. Key Stage is a first stage. If something is key it is important.
I am rambling and this is boring so let’s see if a poem can help.
He sits in the dark room
Drawing keys in the gloom
Keys to open a door
Keys to solve problems galore
Weaving his magic spells
Keys to the stories he tells
They open this , they lock that
Keys to your souls and keys to your flat.
Keys to truth and lies
Keys to happiness and lives.

Hi Its Saturday and time for our prompt from Linda . Thus week she said : Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is starts with “u.” Find a word that starts with the letter “u” and use it however you’d like. Bonus points if it’s the first word in your post. Enjoy!
Underneath .
Underneath the path lies a secret
Layer upon layer of grief
Under the damp scented loam
As above feet do roam.
Unloved , unknown
Lost for evermore
Cold, never
To be
Found .

I may not be perfect but I am whole.
When things get too much and depressions wanting fed.
Bugger it I shout and go dancing in my head

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “wallpaper.” Use it however you’d like. Have fun!
When I was about ten , two of my sister’s had left home and I was sharing a bedroom with my sister F the one who was a fashion designer. She had this idea to brighten our room up. Surprisingly Dad actually agreed to it.
The idea was that we would carefully cut colourful pictures and full page ads out of magazines and then paste them on the wall like a giant collage! It took ages to collect all the pages and it took even longer to arrange and then paste them on to the wall. If I say so myself it looked rather impressive! Very like the wall in the photo below.
Not long after we finished the wall I was ill, I had Bronchitis which developed into Pneumonia and I was a little delerious and all those pages and adverts danced and moved around. I never forgot that! It was the best wallpaper I ever had!
In thr photo below I am a lot younger than ten and I am with my cousin, F. Is sitting on the gate.

It’s Saturday again , yesterday we received our prompt for SoCs from LindaGHill she said : Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “wash/awash.” Use one, use both, use ’em any way you like. Bonus points for using both. Enjoy!
Awash, I am awash, scared of drowning, please throw me a line.
Feelings of fear and insecurity wash over me and I am sinking. I am caught in a whirlpool of hurt. I am afraid of my own shadow.
I see dismissal in every look a snub here a blank there.
I feel darkness creeping back washing over me I am awash with hopelessness.
