What does this have to do with
today’s optional prompt? Well, you see, I wrote a short story about Wednesday Addams some
years back, and I was a bit shocked when I tried to remember what the story was
about… and remembered almost nothing. All I could recall was something about a
bleeding heart or bleeding hearts. So, of course, inviting you to create poetry
or prose that includes a bleeding
heart (figuratively
or literally) made complete sense… in my head.
If your muse and you aren’t in a bleeding-heart
sort of mood, share any piece you prefer. Let said piece be new or old, fiction
or nonfiction, short or longish (369 words
or fewer). Add the direct link to your post; one link per participant,
please. Visit other writers to read (and comment on) what they’ve chosen to bleed
into ink and share.
next week, Rommy will ask us to write about coziness or something that makes us feel cozy.

Yep, bleeding hearts come in all sorts of shapes and shades and such… 😘
Ha, what lovely synchronicity! I recently discovered the Wednesday TV series, adore it like mad and have been bingeing. (Even though I was much in love with the original Lurch and think the new one can't compare.)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about the original Lurch and the Gomez from the 90s movies. But like you, I'm quite addicted to the show. I did some serious binging, too. Now, I want to watch it again s l o w l y to capture any yumminess I might've missed the first time around.
DeleteYes, I agree about the two versions of Gomez too. Nevertheless it's a treat! (And I think Thing might even be better in this incarnation.)
DeleteI heard that the original Lurch and original Wednesday were buddies on the set.
ReplyDeleteThat's nice to know!
Delete@Priscilla, cool! The memes of them dancing on and offset always looked very realistic.
Delete'Bleeding Heart' is a famous Jimi Hendrix song~
ReplyDeleteJust went and listened to it. Good song.
DeleteNothing could possibly come close even to matching the T.V. Show
ReplyDeletePlease, elaborate...
DeleteGood day, Poets & Storytellers!
ReplyDeleteBeing enjoying the games of the World Cup so far. Right now, USA is playing the Netherlands and the chances of the USMNT reaching the quarterfinals is not looking good.
Enough of sports. I think my poem could qualify as a 'bleeding heart'. 😁
Ha, I just finished watching the Socceroos lose to Argentina. A well-deserved win; they played brilliant soccer which would have been a joy to watch – if only I hadn't been wanting us to beat them.
Delete@dsnake1, I was recently asked who I was cheering for in the World Cup and I just gave them a blank look--I haven't watched a game! So, you'll have to keep me posted. 😅
DeleteHi, it's been a long time. My poem isn't exactly bleeding hearts or is it? :)
ReplyDeleteIt has been! What a joy to have you with us again.
DeleteIt is sooo good to read you here, Susie!
DeleteI didn't write to the prompt, but thank you and I am off to read the other poets. Thank you for all the effort and time and work you do to provide a poets corner here. Love you all!
ReplyDeleteThanks, nice to be appreciated!
