FIRST & Heal

I try to pick words I’ve never used before for the prompts. But, I did use Fall back on 10/15/2018 or from some 2018/10/15. Such an easy word to use this time of year and I’ve only used it once in over 6 years. (I did use it for the Décima Poetry Challenge once.)

Hello to all, I have a request to make: Click here for my post from Friday ‘Poetry Challenges and Prompts‘. I’m not taking any other space here for it than that.

Also, check out RW’s The13 Writing Challenge. A Spooky Word Count Enforced Challenge for Poetry and Prose. IYou have all the way until the end of Wednesday, October 28th to enter. It looks like a long post but isn’t. Some of it is just an explanation of what certain elements are such as a protagonist, conflict, climax, and resolution. I go into quite a bit of detail with examples from the Netflix show House of Cards and Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Not as their being examples of spooky stories, but to give examples of what most people would be familiar with. I even explain how a villain can be the protagonist.

Hello to all, I have a request to make: Click here for my post from Friday ‘Poetry Challenges and Prompts‘.

It’s asking you to:

1. Link to challenges or prompts you are aware of, preferably to a how-to participate page, if not, then a current challenge.
2. One sentence description of the challenge/prompt. NOT REQUIRED (This would just be saving me time.)
3. Host’s name if you got it, if not, I can get it. NOT REQUIRED (This would just be saving me time.)

I want to participate in some prompts to stretch the creative muscles AND I have created a page at the top of my blog with all the prompt links provided so far, or at least the ones I’ve been able to get to and AS LONG AS THEY ARE FOR WRITING. This will be for you to find new places to write and for anyone wandering by to click on and find something. Here’s the page. It’s nothing fancy, no images or anything like that. Just straight up text and tone. I’ll probably add something later. You know me, I can’t leave anything alone.

Thank you to those already helping out, and to anyone else who joins in.

I looked up FLAW in the thesaurus and liked the world FOIBLE. I clicked it and the definition had an example (an all-too-human foible.). I’ve always liked the word foible. I just like the way it sounds. That’s a big part of why I like poetry, the way you can use the sounds of words to help create or convey a step above what the words themselves alone mean.

It’s the painting pictures with words you’ve heard about so often.

It’s not just “The blue sky spreads her shawl over her twin, the ocean, protecting her from death by the Sun’s kiss.”

It’s “The vault of heaven lowers its cerulean veil with each day’s end, to reveal treasures beyond.”

It’s “The celestial sphere shimmers like sapphires with each passing moment.”

Why didn’t I use foible in these examples? That would be helping. Me? Help? Never… MUahahahahhaahaha. (That’s my maniacal laugh.)
