I was given a writing assignment from a community writers group:
Write 50 Words. Make the words count.
For me, that’s not easy. I ramble. I wander off topic, I am never succinct. Thus, I chose to use Ekphrastic Poetry, based on the art installation below.
A friend thought the colours reminded her of Ukraine. Maybe it applies to the wider world, too?
Progressive evolution. Time passes, change happens.
Nature swallows the weak, unhealthy, the unfit.
Humanity adapts, cherishes and supports.
Personal disruption, national conflict. No coping strategies. No acceptance.
Guns for the disturbed, deranged or those wanting a big bang.
Build more weapons, erect fences,
No peace, no progress, no life.
Have you tried writing 50 words?
Did it help or hinder your word flow?
