This post was inspired by Weekend Writing Prompt #487: write a poem or a piece of prose in exactly 34 words using the word “Hokum.”
Father works and talks to the camera.
Mother cooks and talks to the camera.
Children play and talk to the camera.
Friends visit and talk to the camera.
The camera screams:
“STOP!”
What hokum!
With hokum thoughts,
Nahla
P.s. Finally, my piece hits exactly the 34 words!
I’ve just started writing this post with no clear idea or topic in mind.
I’m just wondering how it will go, and where it might take me.
Have you ever experienced this before?
I mean the moment when you grab a pen and a blank sheet of paper, stare at them, and wait?
You wait for any inspiration to flutter around you, or for a current of some thoughts to flow into your mind.
By the way, isn’t the idea of using pen and paper so classic?
I mean the image itself seems like a piece of history.
Of course pens and papers haven’t disappeared yet, and I really hope they won’t end up as museum antiques any soon.
But using notes on your device is also a good way to write.
Tapping on your screen or your keyboard doesn’t carry your unique handwriting, but at least it still carries your thoughts and feelings.
So, now, a blank page can be filled after all.
With blank-page-thoughts,
Nahla
P.S. the cute cat photo was taken at the Cats Café in Malaysia.
