Word Prompts #glom and Kaleidoscope

#37 Kaleidoscope I leave my glom anger to the side lines and allow my brother time. I only wish I could have had the same reunion with my dad. Instead I was sent on a wild goose chase to find my brother. When they finally part, I walk past my mum. I do not wantContinue reading “Word Prompts #glom and Kaleidoscope”

#98 What Do You See Prompt

We may not have much in life, but we have each other. What I have is yours. We have a lot to learn from the animal kingdom. We go from day to day, working to get enough money to pay the bills, and for extra treats. We play the lottery, in the one in billionContinue reading “#98 What Do You See Prompt”

A Writer’s #Brain

There are some days when a writer’s brain can release all their expertise with a single stroke of the pen. Ideas, however jumbled, are written, or typed on the page. We understand that it might not be our best work, but we can go back to it later. Improve what we’ve written. However, there areContinue reading “A Writer’s #Brain”

He would ignore pinned shocking headlines and go straight to the football page. More specifically if Chelsea were playing the day before. He rarely read the whole striation of paragraphs. Once he finished, IContinue reading “Word Prompts – Newspaper, Striate and Pin.”

Word Prompt – #Vista

Vista, a pleasing view of autumn. It is my favourite season because of all the colours it creates. The weather starts getting colder, but the leaves are more dazzling than before. For me they are beautiful, and nature uses its colour to litter the ground with glorious technicolour. Only to return in bud like formContinue reading “Word Prompt – #Vista”

Saturday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again

Nearly thirty years of marriage (the good, the bad and the everything in-between) were thrown out like they were rubbish. Pushed back inside, Martha tried to forget she had ever seen them. They screamed from their hiding place – cheat, cheat, cheat. You stand there and accept this affair. Are you not going to fightContinue reading “Saturday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again”
