#sheofthewildwrites

A writing challenge for December by @sheofthewild which caught my fancy as it played on my chief strength...inconsistency... I never manage to sustain the effort during challenges but here I thought, yes, I can do this, surely? Only 10 out of 30, and such an unlikely choice of prompts, what to do with “follicles”? How can I resist! . . #sheofthewildwrites #creativewritingchallenge #writingmylife #creativesouls #writingtobreathe #reluctantwriter https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNLK1tAK9V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12qrbka8a3982

Monarchy Time frozen Rigid, unchanging shell Encapsulating life Hanging, immobile, Crustular turret Barely moving Yet this Revolution Sign of change Incubation Unfurls Metamophosized Brilliantly winged And flying Delicate, gossamer, Kissed by vagaries of breeze Blown about floating In brilliance

Many days art grows as a cathedral of thumbs Abstract clunkiness Two pieces of bread Do not make a loaf Yet the loaf Is their mother As art is yours Listen for the invisible harp Hidden minstrels Break free Heavenly songs Blowing ethereal Framed with earthen pigment Still retain holy strains
