Sue’s #WritePhoto prompt this week
I decided to attempt a Haibun today, goodness knows if I managed, but here goes!
The earth cracks, begging for even just a drop of moisture, looking as if it is signalling the end, yet the plant grows strong, sucking up the lifeblood it needs to survive.
Life is a strange thing
Taking from one yet giving
Birth to another
The small cracked shell lies there, a symbol of hope. Hope that another day will dawn, another living thing will grow stronger, continuing the circle of life.

Sacha’s back with her #Writespiraton prompt.
This week your challenge is to write a 52-word story including these words:
Badger, amulet and coward
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
Here goes!
A knock on the door.
Ernest peeked gingerly out of the window.
Oh, great!
Another mob had come to badger him, wanting his help. That was the third this week.
How long could he hide for?
He cursed himself for losing his precious amulet.
Without it, he was nothing but a coward.

Wish me luck!

Saw a coat in Coast
Can I shell out all that cash
On just a jacket?
