Greetings, poets and storytellers. How are things with you today? Have you laughed lately? Perhaps, you’ve cried a bit? I know, I know… that’s rather personal. But personal tends to be extra inspiring, which might explain why today’s optional prompt invites you to write about the last time you had a good laugh or cry.
If
thoughts of laughter or crying don’t get your muse in the mood, feel free to be
inspired by someone else’s mirth or tears. Or, go ahead and share any piece
that feels right. Your contribution can be new or old, short or longish (369 words
or fewer), fiction or nonfiction. Share the direct link to your post,
please. One link per participant. Visit other writers, and let
them know what their words do for you—especially if they make you laugh… or cry.
for next week, our dearest Rosemary will invite us to write about food
and/or eating.
A tear-jerking, side-splitting prompt. Thank you, Magaly
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree! What a great prompt.
DeleteI am very glad you both like it.
DeleteLaughter is always the best medicine, especially after a teardrop or two has fallen, eh?
ReplyDeleteI completely agree!
DeleteGood prompt. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome.
DeleteSorry, dear poets and storytellers, I am missing in action again this week — between the last of the proofreading and welcoming an old friend I haven't seen in person for some years to stay with me for a few days. Back next week, to play host to you all.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't missing, you're working and living behind the front line. We shall see you next week. Have fun and be productive, Rosemary love.
DeleteDear Rosemary, or are you celebrating with the Matildas as they beat the French team on penalty kicks? :)
DeleteBest wishes on your books.
You bet I've been watching them! Usually after the event, still have to catch up with the match against France, but even so very exciting.
DeleteYes, it was an exciting match, and the penalty contest was dramatic and heart-stopping. Well, the semis are up against the old enemy England, that will be another cracker.
DeleteOMG yes!!! Visitor and I finally saw it. Knew already that Matildas won but not much more. It was still heart-stopping, over and over.
DeleteGood day, poets & Storytellers!
ReplyDeleteGlad to be back after some weeks.
Will be back to read later. Going for an early morning walk/run.
I hope the walk/run was awesome.
DeleteGood day, dsnake1 and other Poets & Storytellers! I thought of something at last. It's verse. It's long, it's snarky, and it's the kind of Bad Poetry I suppose really *is* bad. Since it came out over 1000 words, I'll spare our hosts the trouble of removing it from the link-up. It's on my Blogspot for those who want to read.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Priscilla.
DeleteThank you, Priscilla. I'm leaving the link here, so that anyone who wishes to take a look can have easy access:
