Writer. Feminist. Historian. Person.
The clarity of my ambition is often outmatched by the tenacity of my laziness.
I am feeling really really really lazy today, so thanks to Linda for the excuse to just Write One Line and to FOWC and Sheryl at One Daily Word Prompt for the word prompts (clarity/ambition) that perfectly fit my mood!
And oops-sorry I messed up the original link/name for the Daily Word Prompt
my mind full, spinning
dusty on the edges, but
shining with ideas
Today’s word prompt (self) for Linda’s JuJoJan Challenge was courtesy of But I Smile Anyway
Go! Visit them both!
The idea of self was obviously twirling around in my brain because when I saw Helen’s Photo Prompt I immediately thought–that reminds me of my brain! Always spinning around some great idea while my car keys get lost in the dusty cobwebs!
MADNESS TAKES ITS TOLL
LIKE THE CLOUDS BEFORE THE DAWN
DANCING WITH THE LIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to Fandago’s Word Prompt (madness) for taking my mind to one of my favorite shows of all time. And thanks to Sue’s Photo Prompt for the added inspiration. Originally my brain took the “madness takes its toll” idea to a DARK place, but Sue’s photo brought me back to the light.
And as a reminder …
Sparkling Tinsel
Adorning The Tiniest Tree
A Star Of Tinfoil
Cast From Tinkerbell’s Wand
As The Tin Man Found His Heart
Christmas memories (of Christmas trees, homemade ornaments, Sunday nights with The Wonderful World of Disney, and our annual viewing of The Wizard of Oz) inspired by Linda’s SoCS challenge to use TIN as our prompt.
And by Frank’s Christmas Haiku Challenge
Happy Holidays to all that Celebrate.
to fly is a gift
an eruption to behold
till gravity speaks
in its imperious voice
and stills the music of flight
That (this) darn cannon was still on my mind this morning. So my tanka offering is a mash up between yesterday’s story (and word prompts) and today’s. Cheating? Maybe. But I woke up with it half formed in mind and it needed to be finished! Check out yesterday’s Flash Fiction for the companion story. It explains the cannon 😉 https://tinastewartbrakebill.com/2018/12/07/buon-viaggio/
So thanks again to yesterday’s prompts at WOTD (eruption) and One Daily Prompt (gift)
And today’s prompts from One Daily Prompt (imperious) and Linda’s SoCS (musical)
