Wordy Wednesdays: OneWord – Tousled

The paper was tousled, mixed together like puppies wrestling. Angelica looked from me to the papers on the corner of the desk and back at me. I smiled.

Wordy Thursday: Measure

Today is Thursday and I’m a day late with my Wordy posting for the week, so I thought I would go all out and make this one fun. LOL. In honor of Poo-Pourri, I give you my Wordy Thursday – Measure!

#####

“How do I measure it?”
“Measure it?” Carlie asked, indignantly.
“Yes, measure it! Don’t be dumb, I think this is really the one.”
Carlie rolled her eyes. “Mark,” She said, “You are NOT going to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest shit.”
Mark was silent for a moment. “Will you help me measure it anyway?” He asked hopefully.

Wordy Wednesdays: OneWord – Reconstruction

It began years ago, during the Age of Reconstruction. No one is quite sure where the new Queen came from, but everyone I know is reasonably sure she is not entirely human. Like most mixed species of our time, her skin is not quite the same as ours and her eyes tilt at a different angle.

Timid
With hope
Stretching forward

Afraid
Yet daring
To try

OneWord: Complexity

The complexity of the situation finally struck home. I looked first at Mark and then to Zan. Both pistols were aimed at my chest. I could feel a bead of sweat trickle down my forehead. Frozen where I stood, I started to laugh.

Bluegrass

Hanging in the balance, the wine began to take its toll and I let my mind wander. The cool breeze came off the ocean and kissed my bare shoulders, promising more. My eyes drifted closed, my lashes touching my cheek. The bluegrass continued on and the darkness came.

Wordy Wednesdays: OneWord – Intrigue

The suspense was killing me. I sat on the edge of my seat, imagining the wind in my hair as we whizzed along on the motorcycle on the narrow London backstreets. The smell of intrigue was in the air and the morning’s impending dew hung heavy in the dawning light.

Wordy Wednesdays: A Poem

Welcome to Wordy Wednesdays!

Today I decided to try something weird and different. (Which describes me, but I digress…)
I love a certain writing website (HINT: It will be featured in this Saturday’s Resource post!). They have great generators which I love for writing pick-me-ups and kicks-in-the-pants.  But one thing I love to do is use a generator in an unintended way. To demonstrate, this week I used a Line Generator. A Line Generator vomits out a random line of words for you to use. So my challenge was to click the Generate Random Line button only ONCE (not four times until I get words I like) and to write a poem including all the words in the line generator.

So I clicked the Generate Random Line button and this is what I got:

Generated Random Line

So, I set 15 minutes on my Write or Die: Desktop Edition (to make it even harder) and typed like mad. Here’s what I came up with.

P.S. I only wrote for 5 minutes.

#####

Like candy

Inhaling your scent

Heaven

Ghostwhite light

Your eyes, blackberry

In creek water

Crystalline, black

Emerald grass

On the Bank

Bittersweet, rotted

Never did like

Blackberry

I hope you enjoyed Wednesday’s writing piece. Happy Reading!

OneWord: Footage

I sat in silence as the footage played in front of me. It flickered and danced, as it the film could not believe what it was showing, as I could not believe what I was seeing. Silently, tears streaked my face, trembling as they reached my jaw and then dropping to my shirt unheeded.
