I just wrote a little poem from a one-word prompt:
A streak in the sky
you left me hanging out to dry
gone to some resort town
while I sit here all a-frown
and wait
for fate
When @oneworddotcom posted its pithy “word up” tweet today, I clicked on it as I have so many times before. It took me to oneword.com as it always does. I clicked “Go,” and there was the prompt: STREAK.
So, as usual, I started typing.
Only, this time, instead of getting irritated and closing the page without saving after the one-minute timer ran out, I decided that no matter what came out of my twisted brain, it was going to be a keeper. :D
So I did it. I typed in my name and e-mail (which is not posted) and clicked “submit.”
Don’t get me wrong; I’m not in love with it or anything. I don’t even really know where it’s coming from. I mean, that’s not about me, and I don’t know who it is about.
But maybe it’s a something-else trying to come out. . .Who knows? Even if it’s just it and a bad it at that, it is. I may as well let it breathe a little.
