The prompt at Kellie Elmore’s Free Write Friday this week is a title, and we’ve been asked to use one of the following offerings as inspiration:
“Dandelion Season”
“Phone Call at Midnight”
“The Green Years”
“The Human Zoo”
“The Fires of Spring”
“The Ivy Covered Gate”

A Phone Call At Midnight
What good can come from a phone call
At midnight?
Thump-thmp …
The alarm raised, my
Senses brace …
Thump-thmp …
Heart races;
Mind whirls …
Thump-thmp … thump-thmp …
Surreal perception
Balance lost …
Thump-thmp …
Siren sounds the night
Is but a bell by day …
Thump-thmp …
“Everything okay, dear?”
Thump-thmp
“Just called to say I love you …”
Thump-thmp … thump-thmp … thump-thmp …
~*~
Thanks for visiting …
Be well,
Dorothy
