Not a holiday, an hour

Daily writing prompt

What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

View all responses

I don’t need a holiday
Not a full day, at least

A day is a lot to ask
Perhaps an hour

Just one, a respected
Moment of peace

One hour without work
With the family, one hour

Nothing to sell, or buy
One simple elegant hour

Did he know

Daily writing prompt

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

Dusting off a poem that I haven’t published for this prompt, as it isn’t resonating today. This one is from a collection I have been building about a motorcycle accident.

It’s hard to say
Impossible 
Probably 
Hard to assume

What he saw
If he saw
Or heard
If anything

The sun set
We saw
For him
Not us

Well intentioned
Doctor
Nurse
Not enough

Sirens wail
His groan
It’s too late
Did he know

Impotent hands
Damaged skull
Final thoughts
If any

Final question, I’m rereleasing my novel OP #7, starting to build buzz while I edit the two sequels that I’ve completed. What bonus content within that book, would you want to see? A few examples I already have staged are sneak peek chapters from the next novel, and a map of the real location.

Guilty inaction

Too much spilled ink

Get ready

Daily writing prompt

What makes you nervous?

View all responses

Expect the unexpected
Anything can go wrong
And will go wrong, so…

Make a plan and prepare
Be flexible, ready, willing
Relaxed, ready for action

When it all goes wrong,
Your best is your limit
Forgive your missteps

Long day?

Tired hands, tired mind
Worn, aching, tender
Spiraling mind wound

Escape

Senseless team chatter
Taskings and demands
Drama, meetings, noise

Embrace

Backyard birds choir
Cool relief craft beer
Pause, breathe, exhale
