Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! Sorry this is coming out a little late. I had a bit of a stomach ache last night which messed with my plans.
LOL, while yesterday was a little less than a good time, today's prompt is all about them--specifically perfect afternoons. What makes a perfect afternoon to me can depend on my mood (reading on the couch while snuggling with Jelly Bean, a lively conversation with my husband as we split a pitcher of iced tea, playing video games with my kids) so I imagine you all have some different takes on what one feels like to you.
So for today's optional prompt, I'd like you to write about a perfect afternoon, either one you've had or would like to have. As always, I'll take fiction or non-fiction, poetry or prose. But please remember to keep it to 369 words or fewer and one piece per person.
Next week, we'll be asking you to to go formal: Write a limerick, a ballad or a sonnet – or to write on the subject of formality.
Sorry to hear you've been unwell, Rommy. Hope you get back to 100% soon. Thanks for the prompt, I've taken a slight liberty, but the idea I had was too good to miss putting down...
ReplyDeleteHere is hoping all the ache will go away to stay. Adi and I have really loved our visits. She was a reading dog, listening to children read who are hesitant to read out loud, even to their teachers. We volunteered at schools, I had boys, Mrs had girls. The boys would lay on the floor with an arm around Adi and read. I would help them with big words, help make sure the know the meaning. But I felt that I should learn the essentials of tutoring, the lack of which told me. But my students were passing their reading tests.
ReplyDeleteGreetings all! Sending tons of healing energy Rommy's way ~ my post is prose, not about one summer afternoon, but many summers as the sun slipped from the horizon and fun began ~i hope you enjoy it.
