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!
It can be found
in a tropical paradise
a cabin in the woods
even, within the walls of your home
We each have our own vision of where to find it
My oasis?
Is within the circle of your arms
Very well done

This piece is preceded with the capital “Wow!” as far as I’m concerned. How beautiful this was to read as the sun is setting and the day is winding down. You have achieved your WW on a Sunday, with words that mimic all those beautiful captures you share every week. This time, you have entranced with the written word.
Just perfect.

Capital “Wow”! I am humbled. That you read this when you did is, I feel, as it should have been. Calling this a WW with words warms my heart.
So glad you thought so.
