Speckled leaves, last vestige of verdant, sway from the lowest bough. Fresh wintry air nips my toes. "Can I come up?" The question jolts me, piercing pretensions of solitude. "There's no room" I mumble, but she's already climbing. #BrieflyWrite #vss365 #microprompt #whistpr

It's a #fact that the sound of rain on the roof has a primordial connection. It soothes the soul and reminds you of when all it took to make you feel safe was to be tucked up in bed with rain as your bedtime storyteller. Bless the rain, and those out in it. #microprompt 1391

"Villagers spoke in whispers about its rotting bough," Katashi scratched his leg, "it seems my mother was full with surprises." "She carved the box from the rotting tree, and caught its scent. It's and extraordinary feat." Pastor touched the side of the box. #microprompt #pbch1

When the moon is full, I wander the #old hills, sketching #verdant #boughs. Me, too! And then I #release the wolf inside me and howl. Um. And eat artists. Um. Oh, I'm a #bohemian #lycanthrope. Nice moon tonight, huh? #Thurds #vss365 #microprompt #AbThurd #ConverStory #366FF

The despot wakes the bough breaks falls to the verdant floor and poisons all the grass slouching towards Bethlehem #microprompt bough #BraveWrite despot #vss365 verdant

The lumberjack retired From his last felled tree He took his final bough #microprompt

#microprompt 1392 Rock me in a bough at the top of the world

The #bough did not know the #verdant forest, but the forest knew the bough. #microprompt 1392 #vss365
