The woolly bear caterpillar caught her unaware
in the white kitchen, metal crashed
a scream with the fullness of a stuck pig
resonated through the neighborhood.
When I returned from my daily walk
my coatless daughter waited outside
with a warning that I shouldn’t enter.
Admonishing her Miss Muffet-ness
and with shoulders back and standing tall
I marched right in just like a penguin,
her shadow followed on my tail
wind the remnants of despair
this fake eyebrow remnant
disguised.
this fake eyebrow remnant
disguised.

Like a fairy tale. I like it!
I can so see myself in this! I am such a baby when it comes to creepy crawlies of all kinds. A well put together wordle!
Such a different take..

This brought a smile to my face. I can remember my own fear of many of Gods smaller creatures. That disappeared with children and age. I learned I had to be the brave one. And while I can deal with penny size bugs, I still have an issue with spiders and anything larger than a quarter. Maybe I ought to have a sign on all points of entry...no bugs allowed.
hee hee! LIKE! This is awesome, Laurie. You brought the scene to life, and I love "a scream with the fullness of a stuck pig..."
I love this - such a different take from what occurred to me ... esp the woolly caterpillar and the whole fairytale feel to it ... nicely done.
I love the way this one sounds: hard, brittle, click-clack, strong. Another impressive piece, Laurie. Loved the caterpillar. :)

smiles....this has a rather alice in wonderland surreal-ness to it...the way you used words def accentuate that feel...
I love all the different directions people go with these wordles!! And what a delightful slice of life you have painted here. I always enjoy your blog.
Just act brave and pray the child doesn't notice how scared you actually are! :-) Very true!
Enjoyed the scene,not sure I made the Mag connection but that's ok!
thank-
Love, LOVE that you did the eyebrow!!!!!!! :)
What a creative take on the picture...I am scared of caterpillars too ~ But I had to laugh at the fake eyebrow remnant disguised :-)
I loved to play with wooly worms when I was a child! Who thought they would make a good eyebrow? Your words are so imaginative.
Way better eye beautification tips here than Maybelline offers up. I loved the turning of events through out, including the attitudinal input from the teenager. Well done,Laurie. Thanks.
:) ...Miss Muffet-ness! Love it!
I loved picturing you walking in like a penguin!! Quite a picture!
Hi Laurie! I love your first line "The woolly bear caterpillar caught her unaware
in the white kitchen".
I think woolly is one of my new favorite words now. Lol!
I loved "Miss Muffet-ness" and "this fake eyebrow remnant." You've used the words well!
loved your take on this! :) if i had read this before i started working on mine, i am sure it would have had a major influence on mine..
Oh, superb, simply superb!
thanks!

I have to admit that I needed to read this several times to make sense of it... But that is in no way a bad thing, rather that my mind is not cultural enough at this time on a Monday! Nice write!
Ha! A bit of a Miss Muffet experience! Good one.
This is so creative! I love it!
Such a clever take - love it!
Anna :o]
LOL, love it. My daughter that used to collect every creature she could find has just crossed over to 'aahhhh! There is an ant on the couch!" Pre-teen here we come.
Eeck!
This was very mystically creative -- love it Laurie. Your take on the photo is great!
Well thought-out little story - thanks.
That is one big caterpillar..I love this modern nursery rhyme..frying pans are great for shooing big bugs! jae
hahaha - that's one helluva' eyebrow! Good one!
Brilliant- those eyebrows did look fake, but I never thought of a caterpillar! LOL
This one tickled me.
;)
Guess your character would not have been too happy at my home a few summers ago - my son and I rescued a few monarch eggs, and caterpillars - fed them and watched them grow in a butterfly house! But then I can deal with most buggies. :)
Great story, and a very creative take on the Mag prompt. Well done, Laurie, and thank you!
Oh, and I like the way you cropped the picture, too...
now that...I didn't see coming :-)
interesting bisection of the image, I was absorbed by the whole and you saw a story in a fractional view
Nicely done
Peace ☮
wonderful, Laurie! i had no idea when reading it that so many words were prompt words!
♥
To focus on the eyebrow must be unique among us taking up the challenge this week. I really enjoyed this.
Caterpillar brow!
Wow! Great - so very creative!
Two challenges nailed wonderfully! H-m-m-m, I have a feeling I'll think of you the next time I see a fuzzy-wuzzy black caterpillar:)
A clever linkage!
What fun! Love how you used only part of the photo offered. Excellent.
If this isn't a true story, it should be :)
