Writer's Challenge, #7


Writers, your challenge is to write a story, poem, play, article, report, micro-blog -- something -- anything -- about this picture. You may write your piece to any length, as long as it doesn't exceed 50 words. The shorter the better, of course. If you want to write a Twitter length story, give it a whirl but don't exceed 140 characters.

Try your hand at micro/flash work and feel free to post as many tiny pieces as you'd like in the Comment section below. Your work is yours, you own the copyright -- we're just making a spot available for you to share your creativity with the Sunflower Ranch visitors. You can experiment here and tweet them or post them or even use them as seeds for longer, more involved work.

Let's have some fun and start the weekend with a new little activity to spark your imagination. May you be inspired to make your writing soar and produce some wonderful work! Check out last week's Writer's Challenge and add your interpretation of the photo there as well.

Your comments are always welcome, too!

Hmm, where's that book "Icebreakers for Dummies" that Woofley got me for Christmas? I know they had a side bar about what NOT to say to shy forest creatures. When I tried to tell her how to bite the remote to find the food channel, she hid behind the expensive china vase and *I* got in trouble when it fell over and smashed into unglueable pieces. Momsy said the bill for the pet trauma specialist would mean no chocolate covered pretzels for me for at least a month. Why am I always the scapehound around here?

I told my human mommy I wanted a little brother or sister to play with. I told her so many times and she never listened to me, "Hey, mom do you understand what I'm saying?

What's a dog to do? I was so tired of waiting.

But one day while I was out in the I found this guy. We got to talking and it seems he's always wanted a brother too!

Hey mom? Can we keep him?

Glynis said...

Lille Diane said...

When you said you had a dear lady for me to meet...well I was kinda thinking you meant... Oh never mind. Sigh...

I am P said...

That's Fine.
That's just perfectly fine with me, I don't wanna talk to you either!

'When I woke up this morning, I Was nuzzled up under your paw.'

'That's, ok. I'm a nuzzler too.'

'You know, you're important to me.
I can't say that of any other roommate I've ever had.'

'Oh, come over here. Nuzzle me!'

Sunflower Ranch said...

Lille! LOL Aww, poor little beagle! Well, she is a deer... Thanks for posting such a wistful, mixed up romance. Maybe things will work out for them anyway. ;)

Sunflower Ranch said...

I am P!! Oh my! Too bad this little friendship is going to the dogs. But they very easily could be arguing. At least the beagle looks a little frustrated and the poor deer is rather clueless. Thanks for sharing a bit of their latest chat! :D

Sunflower Ranch said...

Graham-Paige! Thank you for your sweetly romantic post! They must be in love! :D Thanks for stopping by today and becoming a follower, too. I hope to see more of your posts. :D

Beagle D and Deary Doe,
Two eyes two ears two noses cold...
Guess we're not so different after all.

Hugs!
:)

Sunflower Ranch said...

Izzy!! LOL. Thanks for your adorable little ditty! It's true, they aren't so very different. All creatures great and small...

Thanks for your poem and have a wonderful day!! :D
