It's time to make Goulash
with Grandma again!
(Micro-fiction fun...why don't you give it a go?) Use the picture prompt she
provides to create simple, shortest of short, stories to tell its tale - kudos
gained for using the weekly bonus word. Today that is DABBLE
Hanna ran towards the flashes. Her mother was not going to
be at all pleased; how many times had she asked father not to dabble with the sherbet
and the baking soda?

Crickle crackle sprickle sparkle
Childrens’ eyes alight with glee
As the fireworks light the night
With phosphorescent energy
Ristle rustle hissy spittle
Up they go with bright gabble
As the fireworks light the night
Children warned ‘do not dabble!’
Drissle drossle prickly pokel
Like stars they reach up for the sky
As the fireworks light the night
Children share fourth of July.
Muckle muddle couthy cuddle
Their long day draws to an end
As the fireworks light the night
Childr'n to home wearily wend

Deletewhy thank you...cleverly responded, I might add!
Your onomatopoeic poetry really gave me a much-needed, Monday morning smile! And since I've never heard what sherbet and baking soda do, this makes me want to go dabble with them. Sort of. But I'd be scared.
