I totally love Effervescence, so when the prompt Sparkle came up I thought of sparkling water. My two favorites are Mineragua and San Pellegrino, though I’ve been known to nip at a Perrier now and then.
But “sparkle” also reminds me of my favorite lyric in The Guess Who’s “American Woman,” so I was happy to spend a little space and time on quoting that lyric on my page.

INKtober, day 6. Prompt: “Golden.”
Fun fact: about six years ago, when the Trumps were in the White House, they asked the Guggenheim Museum if they could borrow one of their Van Goghs for a party. A curator told them No, the Van Gogh was unavailable, but they would like to offer instead an 18-carat gold toilet by an Italian sculptor, titled “America.” Here’s a link:
And here’s the poem on my image:
****
golden…
golden moment goldeneye
golden arches my o my
golden globes and golden…
toilet???
o m g that sure does
s[p]oil it!!!
he has had his golden hours,
golden swindles, golden showers,
but his golden-years bathroom business,
i feel,
will be conducted in a cell
in stainless steel.

Here’s hoping!
Wow, INKtober has arrived, and I didn’t realize till a couple hours ago. The prompt is Dream. I did this without forethought and with no photo sourcing, just mind’s-eye stuff.
Speaking of eyes, I have new lens implants in mine following cataract surgery. My eyes are still healing, but my astigmatism is gone, and with the help of reading glasses I am getting a much clearer view. I am grateful for the medical advances that gave my vision new life.
Here are the words to the quickie double acrostic:
Drama Dream
Damn the slumbrous night–so hard
Ravaged memory of char
Ashen Carnage is the theme
Must we one again do harm? Da
Age and Wisdom lend no charm
One with Clay, Image and Text
