Happy thanksgiving to all my friends in the US. No turkey here but perhaps I can offer you a freshly brewed coffee from Seville.
This week’s prompt seemed particularly apt as I just bought myself a treat with my birthday money. It was my birthday on the 17th November… I tend to keep this much to myself nowadays. We went away to Seville for a few days holiday and I absolutely loved it. What a wonderful city.









I didn’t buy the new scarf there. Hubby isn’t a big fan of shopping… But I did manage to get him to spend a little bit of time shopping – he bought me some lovely new clothes for my birthday.
Now… the new scarf, is from Tavira in Portugal and it is very colourful! But, this prompt asked for a story to be told in poetry about a grey scarf so I thought why not! Give it a go…
Anyway, the poem isn’t true to life as I have no intention of casting my new scarf aside but a little artistic licence is allowed…
On a whim I bought a colourful scarf
Like Joseph’s technicolor dreamcoat
It brings me nightmares and trouble!
My siblings are so jealous
So, I cast it aside
I buy a grey scarf
No one sees me
I sleep well
It brings
Joy
Me and my grey scarf have such adventures
Settling around my neck with ease
We paint the world in brilliance
Nothing is ever drab now
There is colour in dark
Fountains of rainbows
And no more sighs
Light in shade
Sunshine
Songs
Tomorrow is the launch day for my new poetry, flash fiction and photograph collection. Excited for that! If you’d like to wish me a belated happy birthday I’d love it if you bought a copy of my new book.
Happy birthday for the 17th! Lovely photos 😁 I love what you did in the poetry with the colours and grey! Wonderful. Wishing you all the best with your new book, which I’m looking forward to reading. Hugs, Marje 💕🙂

Seville is one Spanish city I have not been to yet. It looks wonderful. Happy belated birthday. What a great way to celebrate. Awesome poem as well.
Many thanks Darlene. You must go what a fabulous city and not far from us!
Happy Birthday, Marje! This is such a fun story poem. I’m glad you had fun. 💜
Yes I did. Thanks Colleen. I loved Seville and my new scarf! Lo

I like the poetic license, Marje. Invisibilitiy and a world of color all in one grey scarf.
Ha ha! Yes, I like to play with ideas. Thanks Diana. 🙂
