There is no way I can resist a mere 14-words, eh? Thank you, Sammi, for pushing us!
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
Carefree
Footloose and fancy-free
Another way to say carefree
A feeling desired
Not easily acquired
A Dalectable Life 
The thunder roared
The lightning flashed
A tree came down
A frog got smashed

Good job! Now you’ve inspired me:
I thought you so carefree—
attractively;
too late discovered
you care-less for me—
heart-breakingly.
