100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups – #47
This week Julia jfb57 has gone for a picture. It is of a series that was sent to her so do watch out for more later. All you have to do is produce a creative piece of 100 words in length from the emotions / thoughts that this image stirs in you.
Here is my attempt:
CAGED
Swirling around in a maelstrom of thoughts
Sitting pretty waiting for life’s snapshots
Freedom and liberty caged behind the windows
There is a door but she hides under the bedclothes
The exit is plain for all to see beyond the white bars
Her sentence is self inflicted from her memoirs
A glimpse away she could find the twinkling lights
To lead her back to normality on a starlit night
Her individuality is coated in whitewashed brickwork
A round house with no angles to cut deep in to her core
A top-up, replenishment is hourly, desperate to know so much more.
I find your blog very interesting...I stop by often to read your posts.
ReplyDeleteI think setting up writing blogs for high school English and Literature students would be a cool way to inspire them to get more into their writing. The technology of it would probably attract them a little more to the task at hand.
I went to a writing retreat a few years back and I loved it. One of the facilitators picked 10 words from a box of magnetic words and we were all instructed to write a short piece incorporating these words. It was amazing the different pieces of writing that could come from the different participants using the same ten words as a inspiration.
Love your blog---I'll be back!!
Cool poem! I wish I could write poetry but its not my long suit. Me, all I see is a place to stop for gas and coffee. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteIt almost reads like rap! Clever.
