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 hosting this fun one!
I don’t want to possess you
Just know that you’re mine
Taotalk is a forum for the discussion of both the academic and pragmatic aspects of dao and Daoism, with participants expressing themselves on Daoist writings and pragmatics from their unique perspectives. It serves as a community for Daoists, and those interested in Daoism, to gather and talk dao.

Well, that’s short and blunt. But a strong, bold statement. Lol. Well done for 11 words.

Your speaker has a pretty thin defining line, methinks. But rendering clarity in eleven words is a challenge. 😉

Yes, eleven words is rather restrictive ! I liked leaving it ambiguous 😉

This really could be one of those “Romantic Quotes” you Google, where it comes back with all manner of classic writers and poets. And it really would be the one that stood out.
Beautiful only begins to describe this.
