I can’t believe it has already been two weeks since my last post. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in the first A Word with Laurie. So tell me… how did you like the minute time limit? I’d love to hear feedback from you.
Today I am continuing the theme of music, but with a twist.
The dance move dates back to the 1890s and in parts of West Africa even before then. Chubby Checker topped the charts in 1960 with his version of The Twist. This popular dance move is not only fun, but it is a great workout and stress release. I think we could all use a little bit of that right now.
So what I would like for you to do is to use the word twist as your inspiration. You could write about the dance move, or you might want to twist your words. Another option is to present your piece with a visual twist. If none of that works for you, than the standard definition of the word twist will suffice.
I can't wait to see what you come up with.
**THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT!!**

I'm so glad Heaven... thanks.
Hi Laurie ... I seem to be a it late and backwards with my posting this week at Real Toads ... so Twist had to be a Haiku for me.
That's perfect... thanks!
What can you expect to happen with such a word in the Jinksy mind?! I promise to try to be more serious in future...
Haha, can't wait.
I missed the previous prompts...looks like fun :)
Wait! FIVE minutes!? That's a lifetime, Laurie! You only gave us ONE minute on your first post! ;)
Actually...it was a rather fun challenge to write in just one minute.
I'll see if I can come up with something for "twist"...

This is made to order for me, for a reminiscence involving twisting, and my mother, and my self-confidence. Thanks!

Oh, no... this prompt is NOT timed. I was just asking how everyone liked being timed last post.

I did my twisting in a Sestina. The form is twisting! Enjoy.
Laurie, Thanks so much! I needed that. What a trip down Memory Lane- the twist.

Laurie, this was great! I will have to go check out your other exercise!
I'm rethinking the twist; yes, I late to the dance, but I do want to give this one a go~
