Writing Prompts: Part II

Posted on February 12, 2023February 12, 2023 by L. M. Montes

Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. A while back I published a post with some writing prompts. Here are some more.

As I shut my draw, something tiny and black flew into it.
The cool water caressed my feet. But…
I did a double take, when I passed…
The day came when…
“I talked to him yesterday. He said…”
“You’re standing in my way. All I…”
Choose an article in the newspaper, look at the fifth or sixth line, and use it to create a poem or short story.
I reached into my purse then realized…
Write a story about a talking gold fish.
Write a story with the line, “Then he/she slapped me.”

Fighting Spirit by L. M. Montes

Posted on February 12, 2023February 12, 2023 by L. M. Montes

The sun pushed down a radiant heat,
our brows they wearied but didn’t retreat,

frigid breezes thrust their brutish claws,
our hands embittered but set their jaws,

The middle ground bowed at what was right,
our heads determined to stand and fight.

History’s Repetition by L. M. Montes

Posted on February 11, 2023February 11, 2023 by L. M. Montes

Somewhere behind the curtain of time,
exists life’s lessons taught and missed,
with sauntered steps I must persist,
toward future tense and paradigm.

Thus forward moving events repeat,
’round and round the cycle goes,
trudging onward people doze,
doom ever looming oh so sweet.

Time’s Flight: A Sonnet by L. M. Montes

Posted on February 10, 2023February 10, 2023 by L. M. Montes

Time ripples forth with smoothly flowing gaits,
gliding slowly as sorrow stills and sates,
life leads me on though I will look away,
and think of nothing but of you today.

Months said goodbye forever letting go,
and told me not to fret or sink so low,
pleasures from life’s pool of beauty tickled,
releasing the stabbing hurt that prickled.

Years raced away in adverse direction,
flying fast with haste and desperation,
sinking low was never contemplated,
life became the chair that I have hated.

Now as I look up with eyes wide open,
light ensconced my view to bring its hope in.

Spellbound by L. M. Montes

When I first saw your eyes,
they put me in a spell,
my heart you took,
with just one look,
your love to me compelled.

Connections by L. M. Montes

Posted on February 9, 2023 by L. M. Montes

Like a deluge you stormed my heart,
yet gentle as a lamb you did impart
your mind upon my soul’s being
with emotion’s droplets,
forever leaning.

Hours raced and flew on by us,
creating meaning so momentous,
instilling self within my mind,
foretelling secrets,
intertwined.
