A little repetition.

d’Verse Poets Pub is asking for that, asking for that….lol, me trying to be funny!
https://dversepoets.com/2022/04/05/a-little-repetition/

anaphora (Greek: ἀναφορά, “carrying back”) is a rhetorical device that consists of repeating a sequence of words at the beginnings of neighboring clauses, thereby lending them emphasis

I’d like you to pick one of these verbs as the repeating verb

  • remember
  • dream
  • eat
  • choose
  • love
  • fear
  • hope
  • paint
  • lose

Dream of me when you sleep
Dream of sunshine appearing on a cloudy day
Dream of money crumpled in an old pair of jeans
Dream of cold water on a hot day
Dream of smiles on strangers
Dream of rain on a dry garden bed
Dream of happiness
Dream of kindness
Dream of peace
Dream of me as I have always dreamed of you.

Simply 6 minutes: 5th April

pensitivity101

Christine at Stine Writing is our hostess for this particular photo challenge.
All this DNA technology is a wonder.
Who would have thought it, my ancestors were chickens!
Gives a new meaning to what came first, the chicken or the egg doesn’t it.
And as for why did the chicken cross the road, well, that is definitely one for the history books.
So, those scientists decided to experiment, and here I am.
I suppose you could call me a chickeros, or maybe a rhinoken.
I have a certain charm don’t you think?
Wonder if I’m expected to lay eggs?

You Don’t See Many of These

A Unique Title For Me

The redicuceros is basically a rhinoceros with a chicken like head and they are very timid creatures that try to avoid contact with humanoids.  Instead of having the horn on the upper surface of their snout, they have an upright comb like that of a chicken.  The comb acts like the radiator of a car, helping to cool the redicuceros off from the desert heat.  Blood circulates through the comb’s large surface area to release heat.  The comb also has some sex appeal for other redicuceros.  It is thought the redicuceros is a new animal that evolved due to climate change.  This animal has a beak shaped mouth, which it uses to catch and hold its food.  Under its beak are two fleshy lobes or flaps of skin, called waddles, and one hangs on each side.  These waddles are also part of the animal’s cooling system.  Scientists feel that this…

#AtoZChallenge 2022

I signed up for this challenge although I had no idea what I would pick as a theme. I still don’t know. I found it here: http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/

I wonder if I can make it up as I go…is that a theme? Random thoughts? Voila! Chosen!

Random Thoughts

A

As I sit and ponder
another day of writing
and think of all I have done
as far as writing is concerned
a thought comes to me
as clear as day
an idea I guess
a poem a day perhaps?

B

Below blue billowing balloons
bisque-ware bakes before being
bathed by brushes bearing bright
bronze backgrounds boasting
beautiful blurry bedlam
beneath bedazzled brilliance.

across the sky

I see a place
far from me now
a place I knew
not when but how
it was a place
I used to go
when feelings flared
tears would flow
Across the sky
above the land
like little pebbles
grains of sand
only specks
of a bigger life
where happy pairs
with pain and strife
This place I see
I want to hide
knowing love
is still inside.

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 04/05/2022


Welcome to the 6 minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

https://i2.wp.com/rack.0.mshcdn.com/media/ZgkyMDEzLzA0LzExLzcyL3JoaW5vMi5kM2JiMC5qcGc/49582e09/056/rhino-2.jpg


*****For any participants that do NOT like restrictions, please feel free to participate in any way you would like. It is great to read the contributions!****

  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.

Thank you for participating!
