Reena’s Exploration Challenge- Layers

Reena is the host of Reena’s Exploration Challenge

PROMPT #154

What you see below is neither an image prompt nor a theme. 

I prefer to see it as a background on which you have to write something. 

Do you see layers here, or is it just a two-dimensional image? Is something hiding out there, which you need to discover? Or something just pops into the mind as you see it one more time?

Let me see the creativity that pours out in the foreground.

So, here you go ….

<^><^><^><^>

Layers upon layers

Facts and truth intermixed

What is right and what is false

Is my eye sharp enough to discern

It is not all white nor it is all black

A thousand shades inhabit the in-between

Find your reality and your truth from this jumble

For each of have a unique way of looking at life

<^><^><^><^>

Photo Challenge #333

Nekneeraj is the host of MLMM- Photo Challenge

Use above image as inspiration for a poem or short story.

~*~

Goodbye my dear

It was good while it lasted

But with time we’ve both grown

Grown apart, away from each other

But I still think of you as a friend

A best friend that will forever

Hold a piece of my heart

In her tender hands

Lynn’s Tuesday Picture Prompt

Glen is the host of Lynn’s Tuesday Picture Prompt.

He says;

Your challenge or writing prompt is this:

  • what emotions or feelings get evoked or aroused in you when you look at this photograph taken by Lynn

Remember, the goal isn’t necessarily to tell me and others exactly what the picture is.

The creative goal for all of us is “what does the picture evoke in you; what emotion; feeling; memory or whatever it may be – what does it arouse in you and to share it that with others.“

Our Week 15 prompt is fraught with peril…so watch your step. This is/was a rickety boardwalk which went over a wet and sensitive area, located at Torrance Barrens Dark Sky Preserve.

~*~*~

Hey look where you’re stepping

The path ahead is tricky and challenging

One misstep can lead you in a perilous direction

Measure your footsteps, take stock of the situation at hand

And always consider your own safety before charging head-on.

FFFCWelcome to “Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge.”

The image below is from the Google Hub Photo Frame.For the visually challenged writer, this black and white photo shows what is probably a high school football scoreboard and a single football on the football field.

Dreams came crashing down as reality kicked in

There is no school, no games, and no physical contact

Rest a while in your own spaces and maybe in the future

We will be able to figure out a way to lead a new normal life

42 Words- Romance

Deb Whitman is the host of 42 Words

ROMANCE

So what does romance entail, well I don’t do traditional so it can be any kind of romance you chose.  The romance of chasing your dreams, of chasing your partner, of chasing your dog as it heads into the woods.

You can be romantical in any fashion you like but make it brief, for the limit is 42 words.

~*~

Set the mood and play out the scene

Perfumed candles and bouquet of roses

A delectable meal in fancy restaurant will do the trick

Take her to her place, show her just the right amount of devotion

Betrayal came as a shock!

And the Words: What do you call yourself?’ the Fawn said at last. Such a soft sweet voice it had! – Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll

~*~

Steve stood on the quay looking at the pictures he had just taken with his new phone. Not bad he said to himself. Just then someone bumped him and the phone almost fell out of his hand. He turned back angrily to say something sharp to them.

He was looking at the most lovely girl he’d ever seen. Before he could say something, she said, “I am sorry. I am Fawn. What do you call yourself?’ Fawn said at last. Such a soft sweet voice she had!

“Oh it’s okay Fawn. Would you like to join me for a coffee?”
