The following is a simple writing. Each piece was written in
under 10 minutes with no preparation or familiarity with the statements that
were to be provided.
What I really want to write about
Reminds me of a song, about a girl who sits in a car, but
she’s dreaming of horses in daisy fields.
What do I want to write about?
About strange places where bushes and trees grow knowing
they are meant there, and nameless travelers wander in to hear the story of the
vale.
Stories of characters climbing rock cliffs with yellow sand
dunes underneath climbing until their fingernails are chipped, and dirt dries
their blood, but they never waiver.
Gentle boat rides down a calm river, with thistle tucked
between your teeth.
Two people dancing all alone in a forgotten ballroom, but
memories conjure up shadows to surround them.
Castles constructed with a purpose, over beautiful falls,
then forgotten, until new owners know nothing of its past.
One person running in the dark.
Gentle moonlight flitting over green leaves as wind blows
through the trees.
That moment when a character is motivated by more than what
they want, because they have found a purpose.
Moments when those wonderful questions are asked;
Do you have anything worth dying for? Do you have anything
worth living for?
A little room, warm fire, cool shadows, pleasant company,
and laughter that makes you happy, nevermind tomorrow and what it might bring.
Write to go there, and to meet them.
Not really a story is it? More like a rambling.
