Words for
Wednesday
Delores
from ‘The Feathered Nest’ offers six words as a writing prompt – recalcitrant,
fangs, dithering, glassy, rodeo, wet. Why not visit her and see what other
writing has been prompted?
It was summer and the season of school fayres and community fêtes
with every group hoping to raise funds. In a bid to appeal to a wider audience
the local church had decided to rename their Flower Festival the Floral Rodeo. People came out of curiosity, hoping for prancing
stallions in the aisles but found instead dithering officials
apologising for any disappointment they had caused. Recalcitrant
children, dragged along by their parents, bared their fangs in a semblance of good humour as a rather wet young curate tried to engage them in conversation.
Glassy-eyed visitors, anxious to escape his enthusiastic
exhortations to join the congregation, gladly donated substantial amounts of
loose change to the church restoration fund and gratefully made their exit to
the cool air of an English summer.
