Creative Expressions #3: 2-word prompt (dust, bark) – Bull-dust

Pointing-the-Way-40x40x2.5-I78011-300x296

This week we are asked to use the words ‘bark’ and ‘dust’ in our story.

There’s a lot of bull dust in my life.

You might say my bark is worse than my bite.

Then again those who know me might say: What bite?

One of life’s challenges is knowing people.

Picking the truth from the layers of bull dust.

Bark is a substance so you might say I have some bark about me. I can pen a reasonable sentence from time to time. Oh please don’t get excited this could be a time for non-reasonable sentences, one never knows but as it is Christmas we are forgiving are we not?

Speculating is what many of us bloggers do. The blogs with enigmatic names we wonder who is the person behind the name? For once the dust settles we might see the real person, separate the bark from the chaff.

I mean I am a case in point. Very few people know the Summerstommy story, which could be a good thing and they are ‘sworn’ to secrecy should the truth leak out….. Incriminations and all that.

Then again that could be part of the bull dust of my life!!

  1. Entertaining and cause a giggle. If I should learn your story you may have to kill me. I guess I’ll stay at a distant. 🙂

    I’m always in awe of your writing Michael. You have the ability to write on any subject and make us believe it’s about you, or someone you know. The term, suspension of disbelief comes to mind. LOL even your fairy tale posts are more than believable 🙂

    You certainly know how to respond to so many prompts, Michael, and I like how you include personal elements.

    Nice. I read this as a stream of consciousness.It feels like there’s something you want to share with the world, but aren’t quite ready yet. Well done.
