Our challenge today is to write a poem inspired either by superstition or science (or both).
Corey's challenge has not been scheduled, so I put this together in great haste. I hope it will suffice for your Friday inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny… I thought you were going to relax and not worry :) But thank you… I was working on something and was going to ask you if you wanted me to post it today :) Thanks, Kerry, for all you do.
ReplyDeleteI was so relaxed and unworried that I didn't even check, Margaret. As it happened I had this challenge idea on ice - and a half hour to whip it up.
ReplyDelete:-)
@Kerry, what Margaret said. Ha! You relax (and focus on what must be done almost as well as I do, lol). I'm supposed to finish edits (due in two weeks), but when you said "superstition and science," I had to write something. It was too fun of a topic to skip!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a very productive weekend. ♥
A timely prompt, Kerry, as my cousin told me a great ghost story this past weekend.
ReplyDeleteI haven't posted here in such a long time. Glad to be back today. Great prompt. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteJust the added magic needed...thank you, Kerry. :)
ReplyDeleteSo many ideas swirling in my head, but it is almost midnight - homecoming weekend for my two high schoolers. Tonight the game, tomorrow the dance. To top it all off - a cross country meet that they have to catch a bus at 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Suffice it to say, I don't' think i will be doing this prompt. :) Thanks for putting it up, Kerry.
ReplyDeleteGood prompt, Kerry. Got me remembering...
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry...love the prompt!
ReplyDeleteKerry, I missed this prompt due to wacked out computer issues Friday--I have a poem for it, and you will see it soon, I promise.
