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.
Thank you, Sammi, for this fun weekly challenge. Should you want to play along, leave your link here.
One look and I know
Your touch will follow
goosebumps rise
~in anticipation~
Feelings burst like
a kaleidoscope’s colourful patterns
jumbling for attention
Q
Oh how tasty!
Those clouds are so sensual and you sing in harmony with them here, to goosebumps and a certain touch that makes them so. And to the prelude, where songs are made before the moon gets going. Yum.

B,
Glad you thought so!
I was torn between two pictures that I had played with, trying to get that sensual feel… Glad this one fits. Yum, I’ll take.

Those colors fuse nicely with your words, creating a melodic rhythm that curls itself around the reader. Well painted yum is what it is. 🙂

I am so very glad. I wanted the melodic rhythm to curl itself around the readers (sigh… would that I could make my own words do that)
Well painted yum is wonderful.

Goosebumps would be nice, just haven’t found goosebumps without aggravation. At least with dogs you know what you’re getting. The love you…no matter what…and accept all your warts.
