Lyrically Speaking
When I drive I usually listen to recorded books. (Out in the country where I live radio signals are an uncertainty.) But when I take walks I like to listen to music. Lyrics attract me. I memorized the Broadway hits of my generation like Sound of Music and South
Touch of wind or water
I thought about “Touch” that Lisa proposed the second challenge. What I thought at that time was wind and water. There are many kind of wind, but I like the soft and a little cool winds. When it touches my skin, it does let me up get out of
Feel the Heat
TOUCH is the prompt this go around When Lisa Walton challenged us to think about touch, I immediately thought about the extreme experiences of touch. Hot and Cold. Fire & Ice. I knew exactly where I want to go with the prompt.
