Fab Feb Writing Prompts – Day Three

Things are coming along well, with this writing prompt month, words are being written, some good some maybe not so good, but it doesn’t matter, does it, because as long as they’re written, they can be edited and made better!

I’m keeping up, and writing my own new poems too, and hoping for the words keep on happening, both mine and those of others.

For the challenge today, there’s something a little bit different, it will be a phrase, rather than a single word, I don’t know how that is going to go, but the only way to find out is to try it, is it?

I’m accustomed to responding with creative words, or to phrases – our writing group does that every week, for the writing exercise we do on the day, or for homework, or both. So I hope you will give it a go, read the given writing prompt, and respond with creative writing!

I don’t have anything written in response to this prompt yet, but you can be sure I’ll definitely be writing something for it later on in the day … I have an appointment, and maybe it the wait goes on for a while, I’ll have my chance to get it written! Waiting acround for something, is never a bad thing, when you have some writing you want to do!

***************************************

So enough of the idle chit chat, time for the prompt for this third day of the Fabulous February Writing Prompt challenge, and here it is:

                                   Maybe I will, or maybe not …

 

Have fun, and let me know how you feel about this, rather than a single word, if you have an opinion about it, one way or the other …

Fab Feb Writing Prompts – Day Two

So, it seems like lots of people were interested in having a look at what is happening on this blog, going by the increased number of people who’ve visited my blog. I know I’m very happy with the poem I wrote in response to prompt of ‘Rush’ that was the prompt for Day One of the “Fab Feb’ writing prompts.

Given that one of my personal aims for this one a day writing prompts month for all of February, was to hopefully get more to go in my next poetry collection, the month is off to a great start – my poem I wrote yesterday was a good one for sure! I’ve already found a good spot for it, in the first draft of te collection, and slotted it in!

And yesterday, I was thinking about what today’s writing prompt is going to be, and I think I have a great idea for the poem I will write later today.

In that poetry collection to be, I have another poem that contains today’s writing prompt word, and I wonder if you can pick what the word is, once you’ve read the poem?

********************

Night Sky

Moon and Venus are there

amongst the stars

all shining down on us

as we squabble and scrape

through the dirt.

Every now and then,

why not leave hate behind?

Look up and wonder

at the gracious harmony

of night sky’s beauty –

travel there in your dreams

of what life could be …

what you could become …

Move closer to the harmony

of that lovely night-time lesson

and aim your thoughts higher

and make your wishes broader.

Embrace the beauty and hope

as the vista above shines down

and shows how life could be …

***************************************

So there’s the poem, what do you think the correct writing prompt for today is? It could have been sky, or harmony, or beauty, or lessons, sky or vistas, but in fact the actual writing prompt for today, the 2nd of February and so the 2nd day of the the Fabulous Friday writing prompt challenge is:

   **** STAR ****

It could be a star in the sky, a sporting star, or any other star you can think of. So think about it, and get writing, as I will be too, when I get home from the engagement I’m attending today.

Talk to you again tomorrow, with the 3rd writing prompt!

Cheers,

Carolyn Cordon, poet, blogger, editor, inspirer!
