iPad, cinnamon stick, vitamin from Anne
--------------
My iPad is on my lap.
I've picked three words.
I typed them at the top.
Now, I sit waiting for birds
of inspiration to fly into my
head. Some days those
ideas stand up like cinnamon
sticks. Others, they doze.
Today they are fast asleep
hiding under a heavy rock.
Not even vitamin D from
the sun can help unlock
them. So, I sit watching
real birds flit around the sky,
watching real words appear
on my screen then die.

Nothing is worse than prompt words that don't inspire. I am sure sometimes that even if you didn't include them no one would notice if the piece you wrote freely entranced them. I certainly felt the same way with SS2 this week so I made fun of it instead!
Some days I feel like writing nothing at all, but I keep at it, and usually something golden appears---or at least something burnished!
