Chickens and Chocolate

Written for July Writing Prompts from puttingmyfeetinthedirt: https://puttingmyfeetinthedirt.com/2020/07/01/july-writing-prompts-2/

2020 Holidays

Chickens and chocolate and holiday fare 

It’s a sign of the times the shelves are all bare. 

There won’t be an Easter or sweet holiday 

All of the sweet stuff has been taken away. 

The chickens will lay only eggs on a farm 

We’ll eat them for breakfast, it won’t cause no harm. 

We’ll have to eat veggies and buttery toast 

While we wait for that chicken to finally roast.

Memories

With each breath I take 

I can think of just you 

The kind of mistake 

Why I hadn’t a clue. 

So now here I sit 

With my bottle of wine 

Remembering the shit 

You God-awful swine!

My true love

When I met my true love  
 
It was love at first sight  
 
He looked direct at me  
 
On that dark, starry night.  
 
We connected like fire  
 
In a pile full of brush  
 
Him, always so gentle  
 
He never did rush.  
 
I called him “Simpatico” 

It was just how he felt 
 
I finally found a card  
 
I was happy was dealt.

Memories

I remember the day as if it was yesterday. The sun was shining, and it was hot! Brad and I had found this area in the park where we could get a little shade. It was the first time he kissed me. The butterflies in my stomach were busier than all the bugs in the forest. He had taken out his pocketknife and started carving something in the trees. I told him to stop, that he would kill the tree. He said the tree would be fine. Now I wish he had written our whole names, Brad and Rochelle forever.

Photo Challenge Simply 6-Minutes

“Simply 6-minutes” Writing Challenge 07/28/2020

Welcome to the challenge: 07/28/2020

Rules of this challenge:

  1. Set up a timer or sit near a clock so you can keep track of the six minutes you will be writing.
  2. You can either use one of the prompts (photo or written) or you can free-write.
  3. Get ready and write for 6 minutes, that is it! Can you write a complete story? Can you think of a new Sonnet? Can you write 400 words? 400? 500? There are no restrictions on what kind of writing you do, but you should try to be actively writing for six minutes.
  4. After you are done writing, include your word count and then post back to this page #Simply6Minutes or include your link in the comments section. Pingbacks are enabled.
  5. *Feel free to leave your work completely unedited. I believe it is good to see, especially for new writers, that even very seasoned writers don’t write a perfect first draft.*
  6. Have fun, challenge yourself if you’d like, read and respond to others’ posts.
  7. I would appreciate feedback on how often writer’s would like this challenge. Is it a once a week challenge? Just Saturdays? Let me know a day that perhaps there aren’t a lot of other challenges already scheduled.

Today’s Prompt:

Narragansett, RI

Thank you for participating!
