The prompt is "Fortune Cookies" from Real Toads
Life is
like a
fortune cookie.
Each day,
you open one.
Sometimes
you get
the tall
dark stranger.
Sometimes
you get
the bill collector.
Sometimes
you get
the rain,
sometimes
the rainbow.
One learns
to take
the bitter
with the
sweet.
I had to laugh at the options: tall dark stranger or bill collector!
ReplyDeleteLife can be very bitter-sweet indeed.
I love your take on this, and how true it is. :-) Nice one Sherry!
ReplyDeleteThis is true wisdom, Sherry.
ReplyDeleteLaughing out loud on this one, Sherry!! I would have wished more tall,dark strangers for you than bill collectors, but at least your sense of humour has gotten a great workout over the years...LOL!
ReplyDeleteLife is like a fortune cookie ha - how true! what great wisdom will fall from it's cracked shell - ha this was a lighthearted play on the challenge and done to brilliant effect haha - the bill collector or stranger - who knows! nice!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I question if one ever gets used to 'bitter.' It would be nice to philosophize that one does, and that the bitter is somehow good. But I can't buy it. Bitter is bitter always.
ReplyDeleteah, yes, and this culture knows you must have both~xXx
