Just like the ripples of water
When throwing in a stone,
The rings of the phone
make stirring sound.
Lan's heart beats
furiously
As she gives her puppy some treats
Nervously.
The phone keeps ringing,
"Woof, woof,"
Boots barks, waiting,
Lan scoops her up,
"Hello, what's up?"
"..."
What does she hear?
U tell me, dear!

Woof, Woof. My 55 here
i love that photo! so vintage!
Isn't that an adorable picture?
One never knows with phone calls. And there is so much trash with those 800 numbers...I have learned to check caller ID. I think that's terrible of me!
This is a great story! I have never tried the 55. I am just too wordy! lol
that's funny and unexpected - and the picture is sooo cute!
what an amazing 55. Have a great weekend..
Fun...cute picture.
Fun, Jingle. Woof!
I really enjoyed this poem Jingle. How you managed to work a few prompts into was great too!! I want to know if she was expecting that call though! I love hwo all the sounds mixed so well with one another. Thank you for sharing.
Fun and lovely poem, i love it totally! :P A amazing 55 written=P
Re: Robert:
I basically worked on the image given trying to do a child's story,
when I write, I thought about her parents gone to hospital because her Mom is having a new baby, thus she is left alone at home due to emergency, she may be expecting the call from her parents, but she has fears at home alone...
Thanks for the question!
Happy Friday!
I appreciate everyone's encouragement and comments here.
A mystery! Very nice, Jingle.
I’m up here.
Very cute! I like the image you chose. :)
How COOL is that!! I love how your used one picture to tell the story for three different challenges! You have such a talent - and were able to successfully do all of them in a beautiful way, Kristin xo
Hi Jingle,
loved the post and pic! Thanks for sharing.
Anne-Marie
What's up?
You tell me!
Interesting "55"
Poor doggie with sore paw.
Thank you, Jingle!
Mine is HERE
Wait for the ring then listen to the tone
Is it someone special that is on the phone
It sounds like a little puppy that made the call
Why would the little guy want to talk at all
Maybe he knows how to talk by barking away
While that little guy surely made my day
enjoy Jingle and Happy Saturday to ya(+)
