Friday Writings #46: Different Points of View

Greetings, dear poets and storytellers. I hope you are doing well, perhaps writing and reading what you enjoy. I haven’t been writing as much as I like, but I have been reading lots. Two weeks ago, I was given a copy of Dracula in Love, by Karen Essex, a retelling of the Dracula story from the point of view of Mina. I’ve find the novel interesting, and thought the concept would make a fun prompt.  

So, for today’s optional prompt, I invite you and your muse to write one piece of poetry or prose from two different points of view. Please post both pieces. The complete entry should be 369 words or fewer.

If the prompt doesn’t motivate you or your muse, share a piece of your choosing. Your contribution can be new or old, short or longish, fiction or nonfiction… Share the direct link to your post. One link per participant, please. Take a moment (or 3) to enjoy the words of other poets and storytellers.

next week, Rommy will invite you to write about a hobby that brings you peace.

    1. Thanks for sharing, Gillena. I've never read The Phantom Tollbooth. I shall add it to my list!

  2. I have enjoyed a few novels told from the "other" side. Grendel and The Penelopiad for two.

    1. I truly enjoyed The Penelopiad. If you haven't read it, you like Circe, by Madeline Miller. I've yet to read Grendel, I suspect that it's very sad...

  3. Republishing an old one, though that one has three points of view.

  4. Good day, Poets & Storytellers!
    No poetry today, only a cartoon. If it broke the rules, remove the link.
    Pretty tired volunteering with the Red Cross today. Gotta catch some sleep before I read. 😀

    1. Cartoons are to graphic novels what flash fictions are to novels. So this totally follows the rules. Also, I'm ridiculously jealous by the fact you can draw--I've always wished I could write and illustrate a graphic novel.
