A Touch ~ #RomanticTuesday #poetry

A touch ignites a shiver

A fiery tingle of flesh

Upon flesh, we breathe

Under the quarter moon

Light reflecting only

In places, unknown

We venture, seeking

We find, and linger

And in the night

We become one

Spilt Milk ~ #OctoberWriting #poetry

Bessie stuck her head out

She was looking for the farmer

The one who showed up daily

He was really quite the charmer

This shiny pail, he carried

With a smile upon his face

Foot stool waiting patiently

Upon which he took his place

But this day was very different

Poor Bessie, she was bilked!

The farmer chose another cow

Now she cries over her spilt milk

Writing to Word Prompts ~ Do you use them?

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hi everyone!

How many of you like to write to word prompts?  Do you find it helps get the muse going, or sometimes you just need a little push in the “write” direction?

When I started my blog, I didn’t use prompts because I thought they took away from my inner self, that I was somehow cheating.  Boy, was I wrong!!

What in the world is she babbling about, you’re asking?

Since September, I have joined in with Michelle from Her Writing Haven and Putting My Feet in the Dirt.  Each month, ~M, as she is known to some, puts up writing prompts.  I decided to try it out and I’m having a blast (now with October)!!  Michelle’s prompts can be serious, lighthearted and quirky, all at once.  You can go in any direction!

I invite you to join ~M (and me) as we sail through October.  Here are the prompts for the month:  October Writing Prompts

I hope to see more of you, and don’t forget to link back to the original post found above, so we can all read what you’ve written.  It’s a great way to meet new bloggers.

OK, I’m done   😉
