Tuesday – Anything Possible – Kreative Kue # 370 by Keith Channing

In Keith’s words. “Using this photo (below) as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; even just a caption for the photograph. Either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keithchanning@gmail.combefore 6pm on Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time is where I live, this link will tell you). If you post it on your own blog or site, a link to this page would be appreciated, but please do also mention it in a comment here.

Go on. You know you want to. Let your creativity and imagination soar. I shall display the entries next time.”

The photo.

Bad move by John W. Howell © 2022

There once was a Russel named Trevor,

Who thought he was so very clever.

He hopped up on his mom,

And she with aplomb.

Announced, he was doomed forever.

    Excellent, John!
    Playing me at my own game now (and rather well, too, if I may say).
    This could be gloves off.

    He thinks he is doing goat yoga. Russels can be like that.

    Sometimes no matter how direct and elegant “Don’t mess with mom” just does not cut it.

    Good one, John. That’s an amusing photo. Non-authoritative mom, I guess. Like GP said, the elevation does provide a better view. 🙂
