Friday Writings #176: Slice of Life


Greetings, word lovers.

 All the days of my last few weeks have been nearly identical copies of each other: sickness, giggly gossip, exhaustion, soothing cuddling, too much time with doctors, listening to audio books, getting just well enough to sneak in a bit of house cleaning and gardening… repeat. I need a bit of variety (even if it’s just someone else’s). So, for today’s optional prompt, I invite you to let your poetry or prose be a Slice of Life.

Please, add the direct link to your response to Mister Linky. One post per participant. 369 words maximum (excluding title), for prose and for poetry. You may share old or new pieces of poetry or prose. You may write to the prompt or to a topic of your choosing. Visit other lovers of words. Read their contributions. Comment of the words their muse slices out of their lives.

next week, we will invite you to write poetry or prose inspired by comfort food.

    1. "in spite of"? Nah. Because of it all. It's always so wonderful to have a connection. And not just to have it, but to know that it is always here. So, thank you, my sweetest Rosemary.

  5. Gossip, gardening, cuddling and audio books ~~ thank goodness you were able to intersperse between the 'not so good' stuff!
    [ Cheers to things improving quickly with that. ]

    1. I love that you see what's important, what feeds the soul, what makes the bad not so horrible. You rock!
