Friday Writings #174: Two Equally Yummy Options

Greetings, dear poets and storytellers. How are things in your bit of the world? My corner of New York City is currently being blessed with lovely spring weather. Which means excellent opportunities for gardening and for exercising outside. Two wonderfully delicious choices, don’t you think?

With that in mind, for today’s optional prompt, I invite you to consider a time you had to decide between two equally yummy options.

Add the direct link to your response to Mister Linky. One post per participant, please. 369 words maximum (excluding title), for prose and for poetry. You may share new or old pieces of poetry or prose. You may write to the prompt or to a topic of your choosing. Do visit other poets and storytellers. Read their contributions. Share your feels about their word.

 next week, we will invite you to be inspired by the idea of storms, literal or metaphorical.

Friday Writings #173: Youth Has No Age

 

Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! Back in my twenties, I was always annoyed about how young I looked for my age. At almost 53, it bothers me less. Though sometimes I think the real secret to being perceived as being younger than I actually am is that I (not so) occasionally (and often quite obviously) indulge in things that make me feel young. Cloud gazing. Being delighted with the first butterfly of spring. Dancing to modern pop music with gleeful abandon. Being curious about what happens if I try something different, like getting a haircut with a new stylist. I think she did a great job.

So for this week's optional prompt, I would like you to consider the phrase "youth has no age". I'm taking prose and poetry, fiction and non-fiction. Just remember to keep your contributions to 369 words or fewer and one post per person, please.

Next week's optional prompt will ask you to consider a time you had to decide between two equally yummy options.
