Prompt: Farewell

Lorraine Appreciation Week

The first week in May is Lorraine Appreciation Week
Celebrations in all major metropolitan centers of North America and Canada
The key features will be dragon slayings starting with hatchlings Monday-Wednesday
Young adults Thursday and full on stop you in your tracks
Singe your eyelashes within 50 feet of them sleeping
Melt your sword, scale rot, halitosis infected, pus oozing adults for the weekend

Dragons courtesy of Lorraine and carefully nourished
In a knot of dread and panic fueled decisions over the last ten years
Made extra strong by double clutching on all the curves
Where gravity held her to the pavement when she
Really just wanted to fly

Dispatch the dragons, Lorraine
They’re only here because you feed them
They don’t need you on any level
Slay them during Lorraine Appreciation Week
Starve them, they never see that strategy approaching
Surprise them and yourself

Send them on their way
Then see how we’ll party in your honor

I road the dragon's tail through thirty days of meteor shower...I may be pitted here, smoothed there, but indeed touched.

Thank you for these thirty days and the inspiration to keep my calendar open :) C
