#week 51

One last song prompt for the year - Chuck Berry's 'School Days'.

You can reblog this post and do em all now, save 'em and find 'em as you have the energy/time, or just use it as a heads up for what's comin'.

Up to you!

All I ask is that you use the #sipofsnips tag so people can find each other's snips and get excited about writing.

Welcome to a very special edition of Sip of Snips!

Wherein we have two weeks in a row of words posted at once. You are encouraged to use these words as prompts to write something new, no matter what it is. Poetry, flash fiction, a drabble, whatever you wish to do to answer the holiday poets.

Mari Lwyd has come seeking spirits for the holidays, and to warm herself by your hearth--she's willing to sing for the privilege.

She's said her starting line already. Now it's your turn.

Below the cut you will find the 'Cân y Fari Lwyd', or 'The Mari Lwyd Song', in case you wish to know it. Though only the outside part. You can deal with her on your own once she's inside.

here's the 51st installment for this week's @galladrabbles prompt: "eins sein" by wilhelmine, specifically the lyrics: i want to be so close to you / i want to kiss you more / you're driving me crazy by our sweet mods, @energievie & @look-i-love-u

They eat, unable to take their eyes off of each other for more than a moment. They throw jokes back and forth, barbs that nip, but don’t sting. Eyebrows dance. Lips quirk. Grins match. All wordlessly confessing, I want to be so close to you. I want to kiss you more.

“These are the best fucking tacos,” Ian praises, sauce dripping from his chin.

“Don’t tell anyone,” Mickey says, tossing him a napkin. “Can’t be waitin’ in line all day.”

“C’mon, you’ve clearly got an in.”

He shrugs. “What can I say? I’m lovable.”
