FWF – Freewrite Friday – Waking Dreams

Friday rolls around again and it’s time for a freewrite – Click the button if you’d like to join in on Kellie’s Blog.

Your FWF prompt this week is a word bank…

lazy – rain – perspective – glint – somber – trinket – static

You may use all seven words if they fill in naturally OR you may work off only one if it better feeds your page.

A glint of light

wakes you through the blinds,

You edge a lazy arm out from under

the covers and reach for the radio

Static noise invades your bedroom

as you roll over and turn the tuning button

You may as well get up now.

You take a somber walk to the bathroom

wishing your bones would wake from

the stiffness of the night.

You pull your charm bracelet off

with trinkets your lover bought you

last year,

a silver ballet shoe, a rose, a minute key.

You leave them on the sink and

walk under the water of the shower.

You feel the gentle water like rain

on your skin,

washing away the night’s perspiration.

Stepping out of the shower,

fresh, wet and clean

you see the day from a new

perspective as you wrap yourself

in a warm, fluffy, blue towel
