Meme

I don't know about everyone else, but the end of summer is usually filled with lots of activity. We're either prepping for the school year ahead or trying to squeeze one more vacation or day trip before fall starts. So I'll keep this week's prompt simple and light. I'm basing it on a popular meme I've seen floating around the internet.


No, not the Willy Wonka one. The one where you grab a nearby book and flip to a specific page to find a quote that represents your love life. You have the choice of going to either page 13 and picking the 7th sentence or page 7 and picking out the 13th sentence to use as your inspiration for your poem. For bonus points, make it a love poem. As always, this should be a new poem created just for this prompt. And do be sure to visit your fellow poets.

    I'm reading a book " The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady"... this should be interesting. Will see what I can come up with Friday morning. Thanks!

    I will try to do this later... it's always fun to find a nearby book. Mine might be depressing as I just started to read Timothy Snyder "the black earth"
