… about a child, dogs, a walk, dreams, and Haibun/Haiku poetry.
I PROMISE to make use of the Paint Chip Challenge.
“Yes, mom, I PROMISE to take the dogs on a long walk today.”
And so we started; while walking through the rolling hills of our property with my two dogs, Rusty and Sparkle. We discovered this cave that wasn’t there yesterday; it had a metal door, reminded me of our refrigerator, looked like brushed aluminum; I naturally yelled aloud, “OPEN SESAME.”
Screech — clatter — CLANG! Oh! The sound of the metal scraping against the rocky ground. Peering into the brightly lit cave with walls covered in Lapis lazuli stones and that sweet smell of honey, I thought I died and went to Heaven.
Instead, I suddenly sat up in bed, smelling mom, making honey cakes in the kitchen.
What could be better
Colorful dreams — honey cakes
Gemstones and spooky!
This was so fun to read. I love that you used two of the prompt words for dog names. 😊

Nice story! I like how you used Rusty and Sparkle as the dogs’ names. They actually are pretty good names for a dog. 😊
