One of the red-bellied whistling ducks that come to our trees every night and my pool, which has been sparkly clear (I did a good job if I don’t say so myself!) The ducks are decoys…Supposed to help keep the frogs away. They don’t work but I like seeing them in the pool anyhow!

This picture shows someone walking a bicycle that is piled with bricks. The man has left a hole in the pile of bricks so he can reach the handlebar of the bike.
He didn’t think he’s get away with it, but his friend said it was a doddle. He’d done the same with wheelbarrows. Before long he had ten barrows to sell as he’d never been challenged for theft because no-one thought anything of a guy wheeling a barrow carrying tools across a building site.
Bricks were a different matter.
“To him that will, ways are not wanting.” Ajit’s father’s oft repeated words were etched into his brain. His name, after all, was from Sanskrit meaning “unbeatable” serving as further proof of his father’s lifelong devotion to that mantra. So, when Ajit’s wagon wheel came off while he lugged the foundation for his “wedding shed” toward home, he borrowed the closest vehicle he found to complete his cumbersome task. Putting his Engineering degree to good use, he was able to stack every brick on a commandeered bicycle and unsteadily crept homeward. With his view mostly blocked, he didn’t notice his father gaining on him from behind. “Well! What do we have here?” His father’s commanding voice startled him and the delicate balance he’d been artfully managing, fell apart. Bricks littered the worn path as he fell face-first into the dirt! The elder could not contain his laughter!

*****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!****
Set up a timer or sit near a clock so you can keep track of the six minutes you will be writing.
You can either use one of the prompts (photo or written) or you can free-write.
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.
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.
*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.*
Have fun, challenge yourself if you’d like, read and respond to others’ posts.
