For my Sunday Memes, I am trying a continuing theme from the last couple of weeks with the Mag/Whirl/OSI/Sunday Scribblings combo!! You can find the previous meme posts here and here
Here is my entry for Grandma’s Succinctly Yours:
SY Word of the
Week: serendipity
Week: serendipity
Her mommy had named her Serendipity aptly;
she always seemed to have all the luck in finding the best treasures. Today’s
find – chocolate! (138)

For Magpie Tales: , Sunday
Scribblings (Suspended Reality), One
Single Impression(Confirmation)
and the Sunday Whirl
Whirlie words: accident mars ask charged toll confused
sacrificed libation settle plenty handle trouble
He had seen her photo,
It was a few days ago
Now he had finally found her,
Got a confirmation of her whereabouts,
And had she been in Mars or
a dumpster
a dumpster
He knew he would be there, no doubts
Though it had taken a toll
on his health
on his health
A whole week of plenty of questions asked, a little libation offered
And with his resources
of wealth
of wealth
Any trouble faced was handled
And now, he had got
the answers
the answers
There had been an accident – a misstep on the tightrope
She had recovered with
the help of her friend dancers (!)
the help of her friend dancers (!)
They told him she had afterwards
been confused, had lost hope
been confused, had lost hope
She had not known
where to go, where to settle
where to go, where to settle
And she had reached
here, in this place of suspended reality
here, in this place of suspended reality
As he saw her through
the haze, he admired her mettle
the haze, he admired her mettle
He thought of all that
had been sacrificed – the cost,
had been sacrificed – the cost,
And hoped that it
would all be worth it, he knew it would
would all be worth it, he knew it would
She then turned,
glanced his way, she looked lost
glanced his way, she looked lost
A second glance brought
her closer, of course it should
her closer, of course it should
The very air seemed charged with emotions
Long held close to
heart
heart
Now they spilled
outwards in joyous motions
outwards in joyous motions
With nothing to hold
this long-lost father
and daughter apart!
this long-lost father
and daughter apart!
Wow! This piece paints an interesting journey fueled by intense love.
Wow! Lucky Lady, that Serendipity. 🙂 I like her name.
I'm liking your poem too. I may skip OSI this week.
..
a lovely bit of a reunion in your verse….left me with a smile…
Another completely different direction with the wordles (and other prompts!). I admire you that you were able to combine them all. I had a different kind of 'circus' 🙂 Cheers!
Perfect name for the little raccoon, Serendipity, because what's more serendipitous than finding chocolate?! Very cute story.
You tell quite a story here.
And I always like a happy ending.
=)
I liked the journey…nicely done
I came to see your Serendipity microfiction (so cute, I love chocolate), and stayed to read your wonderful poem. I can't imagine being able to work all those things in together to make such a lovely story with a happy ending. Good for you. This is super.

Wow, wonderfully creative.
This is my fave today. I'm a chocolate lover, too, and naming the Raccoon "Serendipity" was a nice touch.
Hello.
Some story here. I'm impressed with your use of all the prompts.
Thanks for sharing.
Here's my OSI:Thirsting For Your Love
Serendipity was aptly named. Maybe that should be my name too. I love chocolate and am pretty good at locating any that is in the house!
Lovely!

Thank you to all of you for your lovely comments…
