Hooray for Succinctly Yours, a weekly meme set up by Grandma of Grandma’s
Goulash. Grandma posts a photo each Sunday for us to cultivate a story of 140 words
or 140 characters or fewer to go with it. The bonus word this week was “jumble.”
Try it! You might find, as I did, that it grows on you.
Small
tree, or a huge nest? Smedley’s mind was a jumble of possibilities. 61
Juniperus
communis, or chinensis? Smedley’s mind was all in a jumble. Because everyone
knows communis makes a better cat box.

Smedley,
like Edward Scissorhands, was a real topiary aficionado. His creations were
merely a little more…jumbled. 99

ReplyDeleteOhhhh,,, that was the word which just kept escaping me... topiary..... brava Tammy!!! It was a cutie this week &*> YAM xx
It is a cutie, isn't it? And all of yours are awesome!
DeleteLooks like he created a new monument, the Leaning Tree of Smedley.
ReplyDeleteThat's very close to one of Yamini's. You should play!
DeleteEven your explanation was clever--"cultivate" and "grows on you." (And what a cute photo.)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Isn't it an adorable photo this week?! I love how the cat appears to be leaning right along with the tree.
DeleteI can see a Smedley series in the future.
ReplyDelete"Smedley" deserves a series, doesn't he? That is one cute kitty!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with Linda -- Smedley needs to reappear. He's got panache, and so does your microfiction. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! Maybe he needs to be a part of Pawsitive Pondering? ;)
DeleteLove, love your microfiction! Do you respond to any prompts through Twitter?
ReplyDeleteWow - thank you so much, Rose! I've been trying to avoid Twitter. You're making me want to peek. Just a little, mind you. Really appreciate it your visit!
DeleteLove them all, Tammy, as usual, but my mind is a jumble as to which one I like best! Of course, a jumbled brain is a common state of affairs for me. Smedley is oh so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, Theresa, me too! Maybe that's why the bonus word resonated with me. That and the adorable kitty!
