Greetings,
dear poets and storytellers!
Are you enjoying the arrival of December? I don’t know if I am. To be honest, I think I’m in shock. I feel like 2025—and the orange horrors it brought—just began. Then again, so much has happened this year (and so much of it terrible) that I also feel like 2025 has lasted ages. Makes me want to scream… which brings me to today’s optional prompt. I invite you to find inspiration in the titles of Florence + The Machine’s latest album, Everybody Scream:
1. “Everybody Scream”
2. “One of the Greats”
3. “Witch Dance”
4. “Sympathy Magic”
5. “Perfume and Milk”
6. “Buckle”
7. “Kraken”
8. “The Old Religion”
9. “Drink Deep”
10. “Music by Men”
11. “You Can Have It All”
12. “And Love”
As usual,
add the direct link to your response to Mister Linky. One post per participant,
please. 369 words maximum. You may share old or new pieces of poetry or prose,
write to the prompt or to a topic of your choosing. Visit other writers. Read
their screams… share your thoughts on them.
next week,
we’ll invite you to let yourself be inspired by the
concept of “in between”, whatever that suggests to you.
