Prompts Thursday 22nd October

And then by drowning

Maggot

The three car crash

Wounded bird, tree

We only remember their names

Red Slippers

We ride into battle, our horses do not volunteer

A House with green wallpaper

Eggs

Rock and Bloody Roll

The Arbortionist's Lunch

I will not come out until someone apologises

I made a sculpture of my father, without a heart

You Have Mail!

How many Eggs for Breakfast, Caesar? (Ate Two, Brute)

The nature of bad jokes

A black cat at midnight, in an unlit coal mine

Grandmother, blood

28 Days: Wednesday 21st Prompts

Women in neon passing the window

Career Path

Plain-Clothes detectives are operating in this store

Tripod

What I was about to say

In my attic

She leaves the nursery and begins to walk

There is a pause in the music

Another Toy

I will choose a child not my colour

All the ships have left, the last plane

A Silver Bracelet

So I opened the parcel

ACID

I stood once, at a window in a storm

Tomorrow or Not

Eating Electricity

SAND

28 Days: Prompts Friday 16th

And for another twenty-five pounds, a neat leather wallet

Frozen Shoulder

I Have My Lover's Heart (in the fridge)

Come Live With Me and be my fuck-buddy

Shall I compare thee to a 0-0 draw in Crewe on a wet Monday?

Here, have an onion

Bloody Men!

Flea

Catch a Falling Star and Put Him in Hello

Drink to Me, Leona

Gather a few roses and that

You waste your time and mine

When I consider how my life has whistled past

Had we but world enough, and time

There is no one like Sally

Listen, the Curfew Bell

I had a goldfish

I will have a cat named Beatrice

And when a lovely woman

The harbour is still, the sea is low and swollen

28 Days Prompts. Thursday 15th October

The Dogs are Gone

In Eastbourne, or Lewes. Well Brighton Way

The Rain it was that killed us

Two Bites

Forgive me. I am about to break wind

He hit him in the head

Three lonely guys and a sad old dog

Mary Ellen at the Pawn Shop door, baby in her hand and the bundle on the floor

Polishing the threshhold

Gangplank

The wind off the sea whipping our faces

Bugs live in spotless houses

Soaping, scrubbing, swilling off

He moved from Salop to Splott

Coal Dust signature

This is Tom. This is Jane. Tom Loves Jane. Jane loves Frank.

A soiled mattress, bugs, probably

ORCHID

In about 1900, here or hereabouts

28 Days. Prompts on Wednesday 14th

I want to somewhere, on a long dark train, whistling

Be that as it may

Please choose music, photos

I think my sight is not what it was

Everyday, Every Way

One day I will be a skinny boy, ribs showing

The floor is full, may I have another room?

Maybe We Will Recover

The Thing About Birthdays

Kitchen Sync

I have decided to be slovenly

Crumple Me

Strong Plunge I Have

Pull Yourself Apart, Man!

A Plain Wood Table, A Simple Chair

PING!

Apart from the obvious, there is little to say

PLUM

A Man on a Bridge

I Doubt it Very Much, Mrs Havisham

The House is Sad, the furniture weary

28 Days. Prompts on Tuesday 13th

Who remembers to leave the bottles out

TINGLE

And crazy, fearless children

Picture a glassy sea

Stone, Fish

I am going, I just don't know where it is

Leaf

The hinges are rusted

CHESTNUTS

If you want, you can overlook this

Reflection

Riddle me this, Batman

TACK

A Short History of a Few Odds & Sods

I am in the garden

A few wept, a few laughed. Most were silent

I am the guilty bystander

My wife will stop you

People in Grass Houses

I'm not sure, but have you got younger?

28 Days: Prompts on Monday 12th

My mother has sold my books

Sheds, Pigeons

A little bit of luck would have seen us through

Nail

From the backs of pick-up trucks

If you love me, build

Read to me by candle-light, your soft voice

Wearing an old coat

At least the roof doesn't leak

Progress

Are you happy to be in this picture?

Beef

And BEFORE the big bang?

Drifting, Salt

The walls are high enough, for we are small and feeble

It's not easy to admit

There are small heroes, just as heroic

Van & Wheelchair

A pebble in her shoe
