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.
Sunday Kind of Love
This is it, she thought
as she stretched languidly
turning towards her lover
spooning him
feeling his warmth along her length.
A Sunday kind of love.
She breathed in his scent as
she slid her hand down his arm,
entwining their fingers.
He pulled their hands up to his beating heart
showing her it was his, too.
Wonderful 57 words. The video is not available.

Awww—lovely. Languid is one of those words that (to me) sounds like what it is–and describes this Sunday mood so well.

I was brought back to this post because of spam and went down the comments only to see I had inadvertently dissed you, Tara! So terribly sorry.
You know, it really depends. Sometimes it comes out in one fell swoop with an adjustment here or there, sometimes it takes me forever!

Love the audio of Etta James. Your piece is very sensual and reminds me of many Sunday afternoons. Nuff said. Lol. Great use of 57 words. I gotta love all you wordsmiths that are able to put so much feeling in so few words.
