Yesterday’s prompt (computer bag) tumbled around in my head all day without much result. (Hence no post.) But when I tossed today’s prompt (drop dead) into the mix, the two stuck together in a weird way that caught my fancy.
Reblogged from the Lexington Poetry Month blog.
Color saturation
The computer bag drops dead
in the center of the room. The lizard man
who brought it here is tired; there are dark
scales under his eyes. He doesn’t quite blend
with the wallpaper, a cartoonish crazy
quilt of flowers in shocking hues.
No wonder he is tired.



I love how you’re always finding ways to keep yourself writing! You are inspiring me.
Thank you, Luanne! What a lovely and encouraging thing to hear. Some days it feels I just flop around like a fish on the pier: a peculiar slap and flash that doesn’t really accomplish much of anything. Now it’s you who have inspired me! 🙂
We need to continue to inspire each other!
It’s a deal! 🙂
