Back on the steem train thanks to the free write.

in #writing6 years ago (edited)

Today the free write prompt is

Face mask.

You can write in any form and interpret in any way.

Yesterday was my first for a while.

@kilbride once used #freeWriteSavedMyLife.
The free write has definitely rescued me in the past, and has again.

It gives you structure and community without constraints and obligations.

Don't know what to post but really want to post something?

Don't feel confident writing or want to improve writing with the support of new steem friends?

Want to write but only have 5 minutes?

The five minute free write is for you!

The steemit 5 minute freewrite clicked over one year this week.

A lot of the freewrite falls to @mariannewest.

Well done!

This is an incredible achievement.


Marianne is taking on the Nanowrimo challenge in November, on top of all her other initiatives.
She is looking to recruit some free write encouragers, to help the free write train keep chugging along.

Don't know what Namowrimo is?

Neither did I... This post from @felt.buzz will bring you up to speed.

Here is today's free write post prompt.

Face Mask



This is my free writing effort for the day.

Face Mask.

I dug all memory of you out
Scooped with a rusty spoon

Left crater for a frontal lobe
To rival those on moon

Crafting in place a great cheese smile
Fashioned upcycle loom

Stitched it on tight concealing all
Transfix grin of a loon

As time went by my body both
Absorbed and rejected

A part of me forever sewn
Both loved and dejected

It pains it weeps and sometimes seeps
Septic and infected

Effective from certain angles
Contained and deflected

No different than potions or pills
Or behavioural distraction

This mask is nothing more than a
Grandiose abstraction

Effective in avoidance from
Social interaction

So much so there little hope for
Search rescue extraction ...


I feel I didn't quite wrap this up. It needs another stanza or two. But such is the way of the free write.

Hey sister! I need to get back on the train. I've been getting my groove back in other ways, but I need to get the words tap flowing again :) I hope you've been well xox

Excellent freewrite also! Incredibly well structured and "both loved and dejected" hit me right in the feelies

So glad that you are writing with us again 😄

This mask is nothing more than a
