Writer's Challenge, #20

cloud formation

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!

Amber clouds billowing and churning their way towards the death of my heart.

The gathering storm of the Obama administration collects itself before dropping the bomb ... on its own country.

All Hallows' Eve is approaching quickly, the leaves rustle noisily on the trees. As he walks the narrow path to his home he thinks about the coming events. This year's celebration is special and will herald a new beginning for the dark forces. He also knew the gathering clouds above the forest were not clouds at all .....

Dr. Dave!! LOL very good!! It is a gathering storm. Some would say the bomb has been dropped -- or perhaps the czars have been unleashed to work their "magic" on us. Thanks for your thoughts! :D
