Write on Wednesday


Write On Wednesdays Exercise 20 Write the words " I thought I saw" at the top of your page. Set a timer for 5 minutes. Write the first words that come into your head after the prompt. Don't take you pen off the page (or fingers off the keyboard). Stop only when the buzzer rings! Do this exercise over and over if you wish. Write beyond 5 minutes if you like, you can link it up as an extra post.

I thought I saw a flash of black,
A stark second, 
Glimpsed,
At the edge of my vision,
Then came a tap, tap, tap,
Sleepy morning, 
Interrupted.
Stopping cereal box in hand,
I watch and wait,
This time, 
You are fully seen,
Superb Fairy Wren.
Pecking off spiders,
In fancy breeding hues,
Feast away,
Blue bird,
On those not dressed so fine,
Life and death,
On my window,
As you flutter,
My eyes dine.
