Love Me, or Leave Me Alone
I stepped onto the train, just in time to hear the loudspeaker announce, "The doors will be closing now!" A sigh of relief escaped my lips; mingled with the attempts to catch my breath. Another rush hour morning, and as usual, there was barely standing room, much less any empty seats. As I elbowed my way to grasp a hold of the pole, my stomach decided to advocate for the other passengers I had showed no mercy for. A few weeks ago, I thought I needed to start eating breakfast more regularly; a few weeks from now, I don't think getting a seat on the train will be quite as difficult.

Poppy's Prompts | #3
Welcome back to Poppy's Prompts :) The idea is to create a poem using one or more of the five word prompts I give you. Make them singular or plural, use the actual word or merely reference it... the specifics are up to you.

Terrible customer service
This happened in Africa/Cameroon. I wasn’t feeling too good, and I needed to go see a doctor, so I called a clinic not too far from where I was to get information on the open hours and when I could come over for a consultation. The person managing the call center was very slow in picking up the call and even when she did, she seemed busy and in a rush to hang up, she didn’t know their open hours for consultation but rather told me she’ll call me the next day to give me the information. Going there the next day and meeting the person at the counter, it was obvious to me this person didn’t want to be there, she was very rude and easily triggered by everything I said. Keep in mind that I was feeling sickly and picking a fight was the last thing I wanted. After a polite response, I left the clinic and sought for a solution else where.

The Formula to Transition from Writer to Author
Anyone can be a writer, all it takes is the act of writing words down or preserving them in some way where they can be read again at a later date. A writer doesn't have to share these words with anyone and can choose to hoard them to themselves.

My Nostalgic Story. Top Story - February 2024.
As I drive four hours straight I am extremely tired, though I am full of excitement for the next chapter to being. Putting Cleveland behind me, praying for safety and familiarity is important to me. I think like the pilgrims hoping when coming to a new land hoping for new beginnings. This isn't a new land for me it's familiarity something I know.
