While this did not completely dispel my funk, it did make me laugh. And in the second that I laughed, I could see the first steps that led away from my funk a little more clearly. All I needed to do was start taking them.
So in honor of this most excellent gift, I am offering "Survive out of spite" as the optional prompt of the week. Feel free to interpret it in a way that is most interesting to you. I am taking poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction. Just please be sure to 1) keep it to 369 words or fewer and 2) one entry per person, please.
Tune in next week, when we shall ask you to write a poem of celebration, whether of a person, a thing, an event… Optional extra: do it in the form of a Sapphic ode.
Thank you Rommy! Jae
ReplyDeleteI didn't think anything I'd say on this topic would be a poem, but after looking at the little green peaches forming on the longsuffering Feral Elberta peach tree I had to take a whack at it.

Thank you, Rommy for the prompt. I have posted my poem (and a link to the song where I've set it to music.) I'll be back later tonight to read and comment all of the poems on the Linky above.
ReplyDeleteInteresting topic.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
I am not able to comment with Google. There are several sites I cannot post comments on.
