Words for Wednesday
The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.
The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.
If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.
This month the words/prompts are supplied by Sean Jeating and can be found here
This week's words/prompts are:
1.bird 2.window. 3.wings 4.span 5.open
and/or:

Charlotte's colour of the month is Heavenly Blue
use either list or both, or mix and match, just have fun.
My own story will appear on this blog on Friday 28th
**Heads up** I won't be home much this week I am helping an elderly neighbour with a hospital visit, she doesn't want to go alone and is more frail now, also helping her sort and pack clothes for the thrift store, I may not get around to visiting all of you each day, but I will try, unless I fall asleep in my chair.
I love the way you keep Words for Wednesday alive and welcoming. Your prompts always make me want to write something, even on busy days.
ReplyDeleteMelody Jacob; and yet you never do write.
DeleteThese are good words for sure. Bless you for helping your neighbor.
ReplyDeleteDVArtist; thank Sean Jeating for the words this month. I'm a helper.
DeleteCome, big black bird, come now!
ReplyDeleteLook, the window is wide open,
look, I've spread sugar on the sill for you.
Come, big black bird, come to me!
Span your wide gentle wings,
and put them on my fevereyes!
Please, get me away from here!
And then we fly up
right into the middle of heaven,
into a new time, into a new world,
and I'll sing, I'll laugh,
I'll scream "Es gibt's net!"*,
'cause all of a sudden I'll get
what all is about.
Yes, I'll sing, and I'll laugh,
and I'll scream "Es gibt`s net",
At last I'll understand,
At last I'll ... be happy.
[It's from Komm schwarzer Vogel, a song I wish being played at my funeral.
Sean Jeating; this is beautiful, thank you so much.
DeleteHi Sean - stunning song ... love it - despite its origins ... and yes - I'll definitely be playing it again ... cheers Hilary
DeleteSean: Preciosa lletra, diu tant.
DeleteTant de bo fos tan fàcil com a dir: No existeix! i que tot els mals desapareguessin per sempre. Qui no vol ser feliç?...
It's a fabulous song. I hope the playing of it won't be too soon.
DeleteI'll work on it and be back to link up.
ReplyDeletePlease remember my saying on this matter, we all have lives and important stuff going on, feel free to not comment on my blog or even read if you are so busy, friends don't put expectations on friends.
messymimi; thank you, I shall remember that, I often say it to others when they have to be offline. Family and real life is more important.
DeleteMine is over here.
DeleteQuè bé! Llegit i comentat. ;-)
DeleteJenn Jilks; Neighbour is in her 80s and has cognitive decline and the early stages of dementia, her sons live interstate, so I help out.
ReplyDeleteSo nice of you to help her. Really, really nice.
ReplyDeleteFirst off: At least you can do more than I with the elderly lady who thought her bus stop was gone!
ReplyDeleteThumbs up!
Haha. "My time´s up, test today. My world closes in. I hope all I get is a laugh. And that I pass. I´d feel heavenly Blue..."
And I look forward to your story!!!
Iris: Molta sort!!!
DeleteShort and direct, well done.
DeleteHi River - yes ... well done on keeping your neighbour company on her visit to the hospital - they'll be feeling much more relaxed with you there: and I hope all goes well for them and for you both.
ReplyDeleteThe bird's wings spanned the open window – the heavenly blue sky could hardly be seen. We laughed as we all rushed outside to see the world in all its glory and to try and identify the huge bird flying around our home. We might have a birding time moment, which bring lots of visitors to the village.
Cheers River ... all the best to everyone - Hilary
I hope you had a good time with the birdwatching. I enjoy watching them at the feeders.
DeleteYou're a good neighbour - don't run yourself into the ground.

ReplyDeleteELS OCELLS
El TEMPS passava lentament, mentre la Laia mirava el MÓN des de la finestra, com si busqués una resposta a la seva existència, sense OBTENIR-NE cap que s'ajustés al que desitjava, deixà de fer preguntes i es va limitar a observar. Tot el CEL BLAU es va presentar OBERT davant dels seus ulls i en veure un ocell, amb les grans ALES ESTESES, es va sentir infinitament petita. Mirava el seu vol aparentment tranquil, quan se n'adonà que un altre OCELL l'acompanyava en una deliciosa dansa que la va fer RIURE. Les seves preguntes desaparegueren quan TOTS els seus temors s'esvaïren. No tenia cap dubte, la vida era justament allò que veia per la seva FINESTRA...
Thank you very much!
Just got my story posted.
