OctPoWriMo Day 2 – White

October 2, 2015 Off By Lisa

So I’m back for day two. So far, so good.

Today’s OctPoWriMo prompt encourages us to “write cinematically,” to convey a visual scene. I don’t know if I’ve done that, but here’s today’s offering…

White

all around

on top

on bottom

on both sides

snow

blizzard

clean white sheets —

not the kind with dots

or stripes or flowers

but the plain kind —

the kind you see drying in the sun

snapping in the breeze

billowing waves

of soft white cotton

About The Author

Lisa A. Listwa is a self-employed writer with experience in education, publishing, and the martial arts. Believing there was more to life than punching someone else’s time clock and inspired by the words of Henry David Thoreau, she traded her life as a high school educator for a life as a writer and hasn’t looked back. She is mother to one glorious handful of a daughter, wife to the nicest guy on the planet, and reluctant but devoted owner of three Rotten Cats. You can find her adventures and thoughts on living life deliberately here on the blog.
