Writing Prompt: Seed Words #2

Weekly offerings of words to get you writing

Welcome to Seed Words!

Or #seedwords if you want to find us in the tags.

I post periodic prompts — challenges, if you want to think about them that way — to encourage you to write. With each prompt, I post photographs of different words I’ve collected around town — I’m calling them Seed Words — to get you writing.

Here’s how it works:

I post the prompt. It includes 5–10 Seed Words.
You write, incorporating at least one of the Seed Words into your writing.
Publish your post on your own or with any publication, and then please use the hashtag #seedwords.
With each new prompt, I’ll do a round-up of recently tagged posts! Hopefully, we’ll all also be able to connect and uplift each other, too!

Here’s Amanda Laughtland’s beautiful essay on her memories of her grandma and her best friend. I got chills at this, seriously. So much joy and love and sweetness to these memories, and I’m so happy the seed words sparked something for her.

It can be poetry, fiction, flash fiction, nonfiction, etc. anything. (I’ll ignore anything that reeks of hate, false info, clickbait, or spam.)
It could even be one pretty little sentence.
It should include at least one of the seed words in some context that doesn’t necessarily relate to the chosen theme. Please highlight the seed word(s) using bold or italics or both.

That’s it, I think! Just a way to get you writing.

A way to get me writing.

A way to get to know you through your writing.

You can learn more about the germination (pun intended, lol) of this idea and start with the first Seed Words prompt, if you’d like, here:

Here’s my short reply to this first prompt. I decided to try out a cinquain, as taught by Bonnie J Davies here.
