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.contemporaries 2.easily 3.life 4.met 5.never
and/or:
1.one 2.say 3.sentence 4.who 5.within
use either list or both, or mix and match, just have fun.
Charlotte's colour of the month is Smoky Rose
My own story will hopefully appear on this blog on Friday 9th

beijos, chica
chica; I will be over to read in a few minutes.
DeleteHappy Writing, River!
ReplyDeleteThe Happy Whisk; thank you, I'll see what I can do.
Delete❤️
DeleteWho hasn't met contemporaries within their life who would never say in one sentence what they could easily say in 69 sentences?
ReplyDeleteI have several. Thank you, I enjoyed this.
DeleteSean Jeating; excellent entry! I know at least two people exactly like that!
DeleteSean Jeating: Segur que n'hi ha i més a prop del que pensem. ;-)
DeleteMimi, River, Paula: No end in sight to (stupid) chatterers.;-)
DeleteContemporaries of Sean Jeating often remarked that he was the kindest, wisest man they had ever known. In his life, he met many people and they never had a bad word to say about him - apart from one - Ms Elsie River from Adelaide. She said that living with him had been like a prison sentence. The day she chucked him out she had yelled, "I don't know who you are any more!" and deep within her heart ice had formed. She watched him walk away in his smoky rose Nike tracksuit but never saw him wave goodbye when he reached the bus stop. It was over.
ReplyDelete"Joie de rue, douleur de maison".
DeleteYou used the words very cleverly in this.
Yorkshire Pudding; this is very clever and brings memories of a "prison sentence" type relationship which I did end by chucking him out.
DeleteShort, funny and well written. But what you make our poor River go through ... ;)
DeleteHoho, I wonder whom she´s writing about....
DeleteCharlotte; I am okay with it but I hope Sean doesn't mind.
DeleteIris; in my comment? I wrote about one of my husbands, for months I was "walking on eggshells" before I made him leave.
DeleteNice try. I don't do Nike. ;-)
DeleteMine should appear at the usual time and place.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; looking forward to reading.
DeleteLooks forward to your story R.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; I hope I can write something that fits with the previous weeks.
DeleteI used half the words, the first half, for chapter 11 about June.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte; I read it earlier, it's very good.
DeleteThe contemporaries I met so far this morning, in the Smokey Rose dawn of light - who are they, I cannot say.
ReplyDeleteI easily wear a T-Shirt, like they do. But these days I´d never leave it like this!. My body has a sentence or two to tell me in this crisp air, like:
Put on a warm jumper as well and: Don´t forget your winter-jacket! I hang on my - so far healthy - life!
Looking forward to yours and yes, It was sunny but terribly cold on the way to my dentist...
Iris; I often meet people on my way to and from the shops who are wearing t-shirts and shorts because the sun is out, but there is still chill in the air so I wear long pants and a jacket.
DeleteAs my prompts for this month (very probably) are my last ones, let's keep ignoring eachother.
DeleteGood luck to your teeth, and for Ingo. ;-)
Sean; you don't wish to carry on next year? I will cross your name off the list....
DeleteAww, Dear Sean. This sounds ominous.
DeleteGood luck
ReplyDeleteRuby Rose and the Big Little Angels 3; thank you.
DeleteOne may say the sentence belonged the person who first uttered it within the camp.
ReplyDeleteLove this hop!
Crystal Collier; well done and thank you.
DeleteAquí vos deixo el meu:
ReplyDeleteAlgú va dir que, per conèixer millor la vida dels joves contemporanis, cal entendre què passa dins un món digital on mai no és fàcil saber qui té raó i on la vida es presenta de color de rosa. Tots vam estar d'acord en que era una frase que resumeix una realitat que canvia fàcilment i que obliga a la societat a despertar-se i a replantejar-se moltes coses.
Gràcies!

I guess I'll always be a day or two late. My take on the prompts:
ReplyDeleteFiction: Meet the Family.
Have a lovely day.
