My delicious cheesecake slice.

BRUTAL
HARSH
BLOOD

The brutal and harsh words cut through me like a knife,
Imaginary blood bleeds away all my hopes and dreams,
But I rise from the ashes, stronger than before,
My spirit unbroken, my resolve unyielding,

No words can extinguish the fire in my soul,
No wounds can erase the light in my eyes,
For I am more than the pain that I bear,
I am a warrior, unafraid to rise.

Under the bright solar glow,
The beauty of the lunar shines at night,
Starry skies twinkle and glimmer,
In this heavenly, wondrous dream.

No More!

No more…

will I live in fear,

will I shed a tear,

will I hide and cower,

will I wilt like a flower.

will I bear this pain,

will I let it reign,

will I be denied,

will I run and hide.

will I be weak and small,

will I let my spirit fall,

will I give up the fight,

will I fade into the night.

PRANCE

SWAY

In the meadow, a horse named Lance,
Decided to break into a dance,
With a prance, a strut, and a sway,
He wowed all the animals that day!

Listless

In a world so vast and wide,
Sometimes, I feel listless inside.
No motivation, no spark or flame,
Just the feeling that everything’s the same.
But I know deep inside my core,
This listlessness won’t last forevermore.
I’ll find my purpose, my drive, my zest,
And this listless feeling will be put to rest.

Wilderness Chronicles

Use the two sets of antonyms in your response, which can be poetry, prose or other!

Your words this week are:

  • courageous and timid
  • cunning and simple

Here you go

In the vast wilderness, the timid rabbit hides,
While the courageous lion prowls with pride.
The cunning fox devises a clever scheme,
While the simple deer roams free, pure as a dream.

Timepiece

A timepiece, a faithful guide through time’s sway,
Each tick and chime, a comforting array,
It marks life’s journey, the highs and lows we face,
A silent witness, in each fleeting embrace.

It counts the years and centuries in quiet grace,
Reminding us, life’s moments we must embrace,
A symbol of time’s passage, transient and pure,
A timepiece, a companion, steady and sure.

Seasons change and memories fade away,
But this timeless symbol will always stay,
In our hearts and minds forever.

PIVOT
DIVOT
IDIOT

There was a divot in the way, so I had to pivot
So I don’t look like an idiot.
I danced around it with a graceful spin
To avoid looking clumsy, I just had to win.

SCOFF
STUFF
SMOCK

Annie was in her smock, painting away,
Creating scenes of joy, in every stroke she’d convey,
All the stuff that she enjoys, her heart poured into art,
But then along came Agustus, with a scoff and a snarky remark.

Tears glistened in her eyes, as her enemy belittled her creation,
Her work was special and dear, a masterpiece in her imagination.

Here are the prompts for this week’s Writer’s Workshop: The Writer’s Workshop is open to anyone and everyone. Here’s how you can join us: Hope to see you Thursday!

Writer’s Workshop Prompts for August 29, 2024

Here are the prompts for this week’s Writer’s Workshop:

  1. Write a post based on the word request.
  2. Write a post in exactly 14 sentences.
  3. Do you believe in destiny, or do you believe that life’s outcome is strictly the result of choice and circumstance? What experiences or evidence has led you to your position on fate versus free will?
  4. Do you read memoir, biographies, or reference books? Which ones are your favorites and what do you get out of them? 
  5. Write about a time when you wanted to escape or run.
  6. Write a critical review of your favorite television show.

This is my first time trying this, so we will see how it goes. I chose to do number 1: write a post based on the word request. So here goes…

I request that you stay true,
To the values that guide you,
May your heart be light and free,
As you dance through life with glee.

I request that you find peace,
In the moments of sweet release,
Let your spirit soar and fly,
Underneath the endless sky.

SOLEMN

I once trusted my brother so solemn and true,
But he took from me, and my trust he did eschew.
His sultry lies and sly deceit,
Left my heart heavy, my anger replete.
