Friday Writings #165: Torch

 


Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! Perhaps because it's been so cold here in northeastern USA, I've been thinking longingly about warm things. My still fairly new to me corgi, Jelly Bean, requires lots of walks to get her used to going potty outdoors. That results in more time outside (and more large mugs of tea as soon as I get inside).


So for today's optional prompt, I'm going to pick something warm to work with--the word torch. You may interpret it in any way you wish, in either poetry or prose form. Just please be sure to keep your pieces to 369 words or fewer, and just one entry per person please.

Next week, Rosemary will ask us to choose one letter of the alphabet, let its sound suggest what to write about, and use that letter repeatedly in the resulting piece of writing.

    1. It's Rommy's prompt and hosting, but as she has been very busy elsewhere this week, I'll say thanks on her behalf, from the whole team, and welcome!
