Happy New Year everyone!  It’s hard to believe another year is gone.  I decided to team up this month with Dorinda Duclos to create some awesome prompts for all of you.  She wrote half of them, so let’s see if any of you can figure out which one’s she wrote verses the one’s I wrote.  I think it was sort of funny how we both had similar ideas.  Please leave some feedback and let me know if you are enjoying the longer prompts.  If you’d like me to go back to writing the shorter ones, I’d be happy to oblige.  Enjoy!  ~M

If you’re new to prompt writing, and don’t really understand how to use the prompts, please consider the following writing exercise.

Settle into your favorite place in the house with a hot drink to warm your waking bones.  Once you’ve warmed up a bit; grab your journal, a…

Empty Minds ~ #poetry #JanuaryWriting

The apocalypse was drawing near

Nothing left for humans, but to fear

Zombies, stalked the land by day

And in the night, found their prey

As anger ruled their empty minds

It taught them how to be unkind

But in the end, they too, did fall

Laughter could have saved them all

The Key to the Future~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

He held the jar up to the light
Wondering what it could be
And there, inside the honey
Was this beautiful golden key

It looked like it was floating on air
Its reflection, in the sunlit rays
How long had he had this jar?
It must have been there for days

He slowly opened the sticky lid
And beacons flew, out of the jar
Spiraling about, in the azure sky
On their way to becoming stars

He marveled at how they shot up
Into the beauty, and all that was clear
As light shined down upon him, he knew
Twas the beginning of a brand new year

 

December Writing Prompt – Entombed inside a jar of honey, the key could clearly be seen – Day 31/31 – Another month of prompts have ended. Hard to believe 2018 is also on its way out. Happy New Year everyone!! May it be blessed with love, joy and happiness for all!!

Get Some Rest – #poetry of a hospital stay

Trying to sleep but they won’t let me

Blood pressure and temperature? Check ✅

Laugh when they tell me “get some rest”

But they keep waking me, what the heck!

My roommate has been yelling since 2AM

I finally called for the nurse

Decided there was no way to sleep

The day just seemed to get worse

Hoping to go home later today

So far, all tests have been negative

Waiting for breakfast to arrive

Praying it comes with a sedative!
