Thanks to Kathryn and Sudha for submitting their flash of twittering fiction.

Excavators toiled hours hoping to find more specimens for history to preserve and to get some DNA for ancestors. A good day for Pompeii.

They sat down for dinner, unaware of the result. With their first take, they turned to stones forever. Touchstone soup casted its spell.

A little about the challenge:  Each Tuesday I will provide a prompt, and your mission, if you choose to play along, is to tell a story based on that prompt in 140 characters or less.

If you accept the challenge, be sure to let me know in the comments with a link to your tale. A final note: if you need help tracking the number of characters in your story, there is a nifty online tool that will count for you at charactercountonline.com.

I will do a round up each Tuesday, along with providing us a new prompt.

Have Fun! 🙂

Heart Petals

it can break a heart,
a single silly petal
that says, “loves me not…”

Shifting – Haiku

it’s impossible
to know the thoughts of someone
who shifts positions

a clever liar
might look you straight in the eye
but shift in their seat

the sand shifts
as evening tides swell
to the sea

Magnetic Poetry Monday- 24 October 2016

the air apparent

always breathe
deeply
to the root of your
soul, for the air is
ancient and sweet and
it has wandered this
earth on every breeze
and wild wind from
Eden, longing to
know you

A bit of fun…

Someone sent this to me on Facebook. My second to last text sent…

“Finishing a poem.”

I’m thinking some of you WordPressers can relate! Haha!
