I am a writer. My passion is poetry. I feel words connect people together and help us to understand the feelings we share.

#vss365 Provides Daily Word Challenge on Twitter
On Twitter I stumbled across a daily challenge provided by #vss365.
Their official account is listed below in the link.
Each day a new word is provided challenging writers to be creative.
It is alot of fun to see what your imagination can stir up.
This also provides a pathway for you to meet other writers who enjoy writing poetry or other genre's.
In the next section, I have listed a couple of examples of one's I have written.

Word Prompt = River
#vss365
Prompt is #river
The winds of sorrow
carry my heart to the #river
where I feel your presence
erasing the chaotic moments of my day.
Word Prompt = Lost
Prompt is #Lost
Part of her soul drifts away,
#lost inside a dream,
frantically, she runs towards reality
drowning in an ocean of tears.
Hubpages Weekly Word Prompt = "Love"
I thought this might be fun to try on Hubpages.
Maybe not daily, but on a weekly basis.
This way we can find time to write a short poem or story and keep our other projects moving along also.
Please vote in the poll above to let me know your thoughts.
In the spiriit of Valentine's Day, I have chosen the word, "love".
Have fun & be creative.
Be sure to post a link to your completed piece in the comments below.
I can't wait to read them.

A writer is always a writer & writing with a word prompt does seem to put a little fun into our work.

Rosina,
In case you missed this one
BRENDA ARLEDGE (author) from Washington Court House on February 14, 2021:
Liz,
I know that feeling.
Time...it seems to take all of mine lately.
But for these prompts I try to write on the spur of the moment.
Thank you & Happy Valentine's day.
BRENDA ARLEDGE (author) from Washington Court House on February 14, 2021:
Shauna,
Thank you.
I'm glad to hear I might see you from time to time.
I enjoy picture promots also.
I seem to find alot of them on Allpoetry.com
They are alot of fun...especially the ones that are magical.
Happy Valentine's Day !
Liz Westwood from UK on February 14, 2021:
This is a great idea. I wish I had more time in the week to participate.
Shauna L Bowling from Central Florida on February 14, 2021:
Challenges are always fun, Brenda, whether word or picture. I love picture prompts as they lead my muse to a work of fiction, my preferred genre. However, I also write poetry. I may chime in from time to time.
I love the responses you've shared with us!
BRENDA ARLEDGE (author) from Washington Court House on February 14, 2021:
Peggy,
Thank you.
I do believe they help with poetry, but I have seen a few people draft up a paragraph of a story over on Twitter.
Happy Valentine's Day!
BRENDA ARLEDGE (author) from Washington Court House on February 14, 2021:
Here is a link to the short poem I created with the word prompt, " Love".

Happy Valentine's Day, Brenda! Those who write poetry should love these word prompts of yours.
BRENDA ARLEDGE (author) from Washington Court House on February 14, 2021:
Pamela,
I love using prompts.
It amazes me that I can be blocked...then words just start pouring out.
You can use the word to write a short paragraph of the beginning of a story.
It does not have to be poetry.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Pamela Oglesby from Sunny Florida on February 14, 2021:
Word prompts are a great way to use your imagination, Brenda. As I typically don't write poetry I am not sure i could write a good poem. I may play with it and see if I can do something.
Happy Valentine's Day!
