Friday Writings #146: Substitutions

 

“Cooking requires confident guesswork and improvisation--experimentation and substitution, dealing with failure and uncertainty in a creative way.” ~ Paul Theroux

The word substitution always makes me think of cooking and teachers. Not of cooking teachers, not unless something has gone horribly wrong between the classroom and the kitchen. So, when our dearest Rommy recommended substitutions for this week’s optional prompt, I wondered what you and your muse would cook up for us to read. * No teacher should be cooked for this prompt. Really. I mean it! 🤨  

Add the direct link to your response to Mister Linky, please. One post per participant. 369 words maximum (excluding title), for prose and for poetry. Share old or new pieces of poetry or prose. Write to the prompt or to a topic of your choosing. Visit other poets and storytellers. Comment on their words.

for next week, Rosemary will ask us to answer the question, ‘What soothes you?’
