fLinda’s #SoCS prompt this week…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “high/low.” Use one, use both, bonus points for starting and finishing with one or both. Have fun!
So, here’s my off-the-cuff poem for today! Y’all can’t keep me down!!!
High flying thoughts and wild ideas
Refusing to listen to anyone’s fears
No worries that I’ll crash and burn
From any mistake, I shall learn
Belief in me, that’s what’s inside
The crest of hope, that’s what I ride
And anywhere that I shall go
I’ll not let anyone make me feel low

Sue’s prompt for #WritePhoto today:

The walls have ears, so they say
Silent they stand, stark and grey
But the things they’ve seen over the ages
Could overfill a writers pages
Happiness, sadness and all in between
A bit of it all, they have seen
Buildings ravaged, falling down
Roots creeping round, gnarled and brown
Yet the things they see, memories may fray,
But sights can never ever be wiped away

Sacha’s back with her #Writespiration prompt…
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
This week write about the school trip that went wrong.
Here goes!
“Josh? Josh! For goodness sake where is that boy?”
Mrs Smith did her headcount again. It was definitely Josh.
It was always Josh!
She’d been dreading this school trip to the zoo, and with genuine cause for concern, as she turned to spot Josh dangling over the gorilla’s enclosure with a banana…

For Linda’s #1linerweds challenge.
“Isn’t it amazing how words can tell a story, take you away into another magical world? Simple combinations of letters that spin a tale and enchant those who read.” – Ritu
As I sit here, during my self-imposed #RiNoWriMo, it really does amaze me how my words transport me into a different space… I have to bring myself back to the present, to feed the kids lol!
Now, I’m not saying what I am writing will be a best-seller or anything, (though I can hope!) but it feels wonderful to be really writing again!
Happy Wednesday Peeps!
