Friday Writings #235: Water Water Everywhere

 

Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! I've just come back from vacation in Maine. Sadly, it was a little less relaxing than usual, what with the horrific heat wave hitting the east coast of the U.S. But despite the heat we had a pretty good time introducing Jelly Bean to the Maine shore.

The view from the bluff

So in honor of the beautiful cabin by the sea, for this week's optional prompt, I invite you to write about a body of water, real or fictional, that holds a special place in your heart. As always, you can opt for fiction or non-fiction, poetry or prose. Just remember to keep your pieces to 369 words or fewer and one piece per person please.

Next week, We’ll invite you to find inspiration in one (or all) of the following quotes, by Margaret Atwood, May Sarton, and Rudyard Kipling, respectively: 

1. “Gardening is not a rational act.

2. “A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself.”

3. “Gardens are not made by singing ‘Oh, how beautiful,’ and sitting in the shade.”
