Writing Prompt 205 – dancing with ghosts

Prompt

“I’m not haunted.”Cindy Brody

On Writing

Breathe the sentence in. Exhale the sentence. Inhale and exhale each word. Now inhale and exhale the sentence. Then, go!

There is only one rule, keep your hand moving.

Don’t worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation. If you feel stuck, keep writing anyway. Try going back to the prompt and write it out until other words arise, then write those—or, repeat the last word you wrote again and again until new words appear—or, write, “I am stuck,” or “I can’t think of anything,” as long as you keep your hand moving. Writing is physical, the words will move through your body and come out of your hand—just keep it moving.

Now go – for five, ten, fifteen minutes . .

  1. Hello dear Holly Troy. A poem for you.

    “I am dancing alone at 3 am with the Pacific near.

    I am dancing with ghosts I have befriended.

    Once alive, now they join me and they whisper to me.

    Dark poets, please dance with me and I will tell you tales of greatness,

    I will tell you tales of sadness and I will make you believe.

    Love can be. We must love the sea, we must love the beautiful sky.

    Both are lovers, who shall not break our heart.”
