OK, OK, so I’m cheating. It’s no longer the weekend but now is when I can so, now is when I do.
A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in the comments.
Word Prompt
Unlock
Challenge
Words,
Words brought them together
His, swirling and provocative, coloured in metaphors
Hers, straightforward but honest, not given to fluff
Mutual admiration expands for the other’s style
This exchange of words, innocent and light
At times a comedic or snarky repartee
Becomes an exchange of ideas, a baring of souls
Trust given and received sans fear
Unlocking the possibilities
For so much more
A Dalectable Life 
Nicely done, Dale. Is this couple anyone I know?

Hi D – I really liked the way “she” was not given to fluff – I find that sometimes it is the other way around and never to gender stereotype – to have the man’s words “coloured in metaphors” was just a fresh approach for moi.

and nice words on words here (sorry I had to) and fav tres:

Hey there Y, I am very glad you like that it is “she” not given to fluff… though, if you like to read Russian male writers – they are insanely given to fluff! So very glad it was refreshing to toi.
😉 Glad you liked the words on words…

and see….
– maybe I do gender stereotype sometimes – it all starts with awareness –
and those Russians sure can dance too (oh my gosh – did I just write that – lol)

Q,
Well I have to confess something to you here. I completely relate to this post! Like, it’s mirror image scary-like!
This is (what’s another word for brilliant?) . . . perfect! Strong, bold, fearless and passionate. Okay, that’s four other words for brilliant. And four ain’t really ’nuff either!
Ya know? You have a real talent for this whole writing thing.

I will comment before I read the others so apologies for repetition – Dale, this is a lovely piece leading the reader through the unfolding stages of communication with a stranger who becomes something more important. Snarky – great word.
