When she was a child, she drew pictures with crayons and made up stories to go along

As she learned to form letters she copied them carefully on lined paper, and pretended they were stories, and that she could read them; to her sister and the dog

Fantastical tales

Adventures of dragons, space travelers, kings and queens

Princes and Princesses

She wrote essays

Schoolgirl romance

College admission applications

Plays, screenplays

Dialogue, lots and lots of dialogue

Now she writes verse

Poems of all types, but mostly

Poems that throw stones

No quarter asked for

None given


This week’s prompts are:

  1. jump
  2. sad eyes
  3. Mississippi corn bread

  1. Go ahead and dive in, set your imagination free!

  2. Write something big, Write something small,
    Write something

Here’s how to play along, if you are unsure.



When our boy came home with the other few
They didn’t get a parade
No tables were laid.

Their war was detested.

They battled the enemy overseas
But upon their return
Were surprised to learn

That they were now the marauders,
The invaders, the brigands and highwaymen.
Our boy never asked for this;

This stain that won’t wash off.


This week’s prompts are:

  1. we cling together
  2. fishermen pulling up stones

  1. Go ahead and dive in, set your imagination free!

  2. Write something big, Write something small,
    Write something
    Ready, Set, Go – you have 25 minutes, but if that is not possible, take as long as you need and, have fun!
