Devereaux Frazier and Beth Amanda are currently hosting the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge which was started by our star writer Christine Ray. We hope to offer all of you something that will spark your creativity and willingness to participate.
The prompts are designed to be quick challenges that can be written in 10 to 15minutes, inspire you creatively, are fun, and get everyone interacting. Please post your response to the prompt in the comments below and show your fellow posters some love and support. All members of the Go Dog Go community, including Baristas, are welcome to participate. Feel free to share this post on your own blogs and/or Facebook.
Today’s prompt:
Use the phrase “beneath the waters” in a piece of prose or a poem.
Against The Tide
Will we wait for the tide to turn.
to carry us away
wave after wave
gathering up the debris
which surrounds us
sucking it up like so much dust
getting rid of it all,
everything going
with the flow
sinking
beneath the waters.
Everything.
But not everyone
some of us will swim against the tide
take the risk
strike out
hold on
ride the waves
and survive the back flow.

I dive
beneath the waters
of my very own soul
into cool darkness
where I
no longer know myself
no longer feel anything
just float
where life can’t touch me

Another great prompt! I also posted my reply on the main page because I wrote a poem in honor of my grandfather. He would have been 105 years old today.
