Friday Writings #232: A Few of Her Favorite Things

 

Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! As many of you may have figured out, we sometimes trade off on hosting duties. We're pretty good at rolling with unexpected schedule shifts, picking up the ball when it's passed to us. But sometimes hand-off comes with an bit of an odd spin.

If you're a long time follower of Magaly's, you pretty much knew an optional prompt using the words "teeth, hammer, and blooms" was originally hers. They are exceedingly cool words, but it's silly to pretend they are mine.

Now if the words were Donut, Dungeon, and

Jug O' Boom, you'd know right away they'd be mine. 

Just like some people have a signature look, some folks have signature words. It's neat to see them pop up like a fingerprint in her work. So yes, for this week, I'm asking you to take the equivalent of Magaly's little black dress and take it for a spin on your own catwalk. 

Strut your stuff in either poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction. Just remember, one piece per person and keep each piece to 369 words or fewer.

Next week, We will invite you to find inspiration in the following quote, by C. S. Lewis, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
