Today at RDP, we are asked to share a story,
poem, photo, painting, essay, etc., focusing
on the word ‘pioneer’. Here’s my take.

The Burden Of Secrets
Written for OLWG #417.
The prompts appear below.
This is my story.
Le Bourgeois
Written for Friday Fictioneers where our host Rochelle
asks us to use the photo below as inspiration
to write creatively in 100 words or less while
making every word count. This is my flash.
Have and Have Not: An Ovi SoC
Written for Ronovan Writes Ovi Poetry Challenge #53
where the inspiration is ‘motivation’ and for Stream of
Consciousness Saturday where the inspiration is ‘water’.
Here is my Ovi Stream of Consciousness.
Backyard hose to gulp a quick drink
Babies getting washed in the sink
Garden sprinklers splash flowers pink
The things we do with water
Inner-city hydrants flushing
Fountains in the park are gushing
Free Kool-Aid gets the kids rushing
There’s nothing quite like aqua
Town pool for kids with no dough
Yachts in the ocean all for show
Haves and have nots, I just don’t know
Where’s the happy medium?
What’s your motivation, man?
Sell water in bottle or can
Not your style to give a damn
You just want to make a buck
All throats get parched and dry
Don’t let the little children cry
Paws on hot pavement start to fry
We need some heat relief
Water, water everywhere
Pour a glass and show you care
Help all living things and share
From sea to shining sea
