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 Hilary Melton-Butcher and can be found right here on this blog.
This week's words/prompts are:
1.livestock 2.scheduled 3.structure 4.target 5.folklore
and/or:
1.accessible 2.lichen 3.cheese 4.cushion 5.facts
use either list or both, or mix and match, just have fun.
Charlotte's colour of the month is:
My own story will hopefully appear on this blog on Friday 19th
I’m working on it.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; I have only just remembered it is Wednesday! I'll turn on the brain a bit later.
DeleteGood words, R. I do love that colour there.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; It's a gorgeous colour, I once had a dress with flowers that colour.
DeleteI am looking forward to it
ReplyDeleteRuby Rose and the Big Little Angels 3; me too, if only I knew what I was going to write.
DeleteThere was no livestock other than pet-dogs on the scheduled structure in town with loads of folklore and the target was Braunschweig, not Hanover.
ReplyDeleteAnd I had a cheese-sandwich. This was last weekend and tomorrow I´ll show :-) It was a Razzmatazz of colors!
Looking hopefully forward to Friday!
Iris; nicely done. I'm eager to see the pictures.
DeletePalavras boas e vamos esperar a tua história na 6 feira! beijos, chica
ReplyDeletechica; I will be working on it today.
DeleteThe livestock were scheduled to be slaughtered in a dilapidated old structure down by the river. It had become the target of repeated attacks by vandals. Local folklore said that the shed once acted as a refuge for Ned Kelly and his gang. Nowadays it was only accessible through Sean and Elsie Jeating's farmyard. Lichen just about covered the old corrugated walls and the entire area smelled like mouldy cheese. Inside was a rotting velvet cushion which Ned Kelly may have sat upon pondering the facts of his lawlessness. He would have probably worn his famous bandanna - which was dyed in a deep pink shade known as razzmatazz - a name that echoed the daredevil life he led before he was hanged in Old Melbourne Gaol.
ReplyDeleteYorkshire Pudding; great story! Thank you.
DeleteSuch beautiful words, and one of the most interactive activities I have seen on a blog. Please keep going!
ReplyDeleteMary and Chris; thank you. We will keep going as long as people are willing to participate.
DeleteAll depends if I have time !
ReplyDeleteIngrid; your home is quite busy with activities, so it's okay if you can't join us.
DeleteThank to Hilary Melton-Butcher for the words, and to you for hosting the words. I have used them.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte; I liked your story, thank you.
