It’s a new year, and Michelle has new prompts! Seems she’s teamed up with someone this time. I wonder who it could be 😉 Join us for the fun!! See if you can figure out which prompts are hers and which one’s are mine!

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

There was a time
Before time existed
When the world
Found love, instead
Of moments, twisted

There was a time
Before time slipped by
Carelessly, forgotten
Trying to stop it
Turning back, but why?

There was a time
Before the end of time
Where humans cried
As the planet lay wasted
Such a terrible crime…

 

 

Writing Prompt – Time Before Time – Day 31/31! Another month down! Looking forward to M’s prompts for February! ❤

Be careful how you touch them

How they look is quite deceiving

Nature has the strangest ways

To leave your senses grieving

That something, oh so beautiful

Can hurt you, with a single stroke

Stay away from the stinging nettles

For it’s pain, they shall evoke

There are ways to travel o’er this bridge

Come now, I’ll show you the way

I’ve traveled it so many times myself

I know it by heart, you might say

There’s an ethereal feeling, each time you cross

On the other side, things to astound you

I promise you, you’ll feel quite light

With the magic, that flows all around you

Follow me, my weary friend

Across the bridge, beyond the trees

Where carefree days and butterflies

Make for magical memories
