A Wedding Toast from the Father of the Bride
One of my daughter's lifelong curses is having a dad who thinks he's a writer. That being the case, when the first hint of her (second) wedding came up, this old fart had to start writing a toast to be given on the day. As it turned out, they eloped, with only a couple of friends in attendance, so I never got to recite it. Some people's kids!

Stuck in Place
Amy whistled as she walked through her front yard, looking for any sticks she could pick up and throw into the pile she and her brother were making. They had a big windstorm recently; as such, all the trees in their yard had suffered some damage in some loss of sticks. Or perhaps losing those sticks was a good thing since their trees probably needed to be pruned anyway. Amy wasn't sure.

Wowza. Worth the wait. Welcome back
Holy mothballs, Captain! This is astonishing! I decided to do a little search for some of my favourite writers on here and just pick random stuff I hadn't read - haikus are a good option because of their quick-readability quality. This is 14 words packed with so much truth and emotion. I applaud you for this, Dana! 👏
Dear Dana ~ So glad you are picking up the 'Sweet-Schtickle-Scents' along with our PhD-BuD with this one ~ How 'Udderly' Grabbing. *Please see our Step Mother's Story 'The Road Least Traveled' - she may bake us cookies - My 'Swinging on a Star' ~ Those Brits claim fame with that Oldie with their 'Out of this World' ~ Chum - Jay -
This is spectacular. Well done.
There's so much of truth in this! Loved the darkness! Very well done!
Eerie but beautiful and true. :) Well done!
Time. Impersonal, impartial, inevitable. Well done!
Really nice, a bit depressing, and deep.
Elegant. Loved it.
Mystical with so much meaning ♥️ Well done!
you nailed it Dana, nice entry 😀
Powerful twist in the last line.
