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!
Youth’s Mementos
Floating through a grass filled sky
Like the white winged dove
Today’s prompts (grass / dove/ memento) immediately launched my mind back to my wayward youth. So thanks for the memories Ronovan Writes and Linda’s Just Jot January Challenge and Daisy Smile Face
And thanks to Stevie for being Stevie!

as dark brings him nigh
Thanks for the inspiration Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge

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)
