Good afternoon, LifeLessons readers, OkcForgottenMan here again. Judy is in the fourth day of her writers retreat in Colima, and I’m still here reblogging some of her older poems. It’s a fun gig for me as I stroll back through her blog archive, wondering which to select. I’ve done this before, and I’m looking at her posts from 2016 this go-around.
My first selection today (Yes – I’ll reblog a couple more this afternoon/evening) is “One Word? Absurd!“. It amuses me how it takes some people awhile to adjust to new circumstances. In early March, 2016, when Judy first posted this poetic rant, the folks that posted the Daily WordPress Prompts had just switched from full-sentence (sometimes full-paragraph) prompts to one-word prompts. Judy, as you might discern from the subtle subtext of this poem, was not entirely happy. I hope y’all enjoy!

The human mind is indeed adaptable. However, in just a couple of weeks we found ourselves with four one-word prompts instead of just one. 🙂

Exactly, Christine. A few minutes ago I reblogged a poem Judy wrote 11 days after this excoriation – a lovely poem prompted by, yes, a one-word prompt!

If the muse is in residence, It can draw nothing out of thin air and still weave a tale. 🙂
And when I hop over to Cee’s blog and see the many writing prompts on her list, daily and weekly…there aren’t enough hours!

True. (Oh, to have a muse in residence! Mine rarely shows up, and then only in the occasional late evening to cast aspersions upon my aspirations.)
