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 15 minutes 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: Write a piece of prose or poetry around the words cursive, touch, and forget
Happy Writing
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these.

I have such a terrible handwriting, that no one can decipher even my block printing. That said, I miss stationery, letters, snail-mail. Things are much less personal now.

Yes, I wonder if children in schools have lost something precious by not being taught penmanship

Pingback: Soothing – Very Important Stuff Here
Here’s my take…
Blowing In The Wind
It was a windy day
in a windy city
a long time ago,
about fifty years, I think,
I forget exactly when.
A sudden flurry made me the vortex
and I was surrounded by sheets of paper
caught up and blown from a doorway.
When it had settled,
I collected a few.
They were letters
applying for jobs
dated about fifty years ago,
I forget exactly when.
All were hand written
in the most beautiful cursive scripts.
I could visualise the care with which
nibs had been dipped in ink,
the concentration in the touch of pen to paper.
These were the stuff of unknown dreams.
The names are long forgotten now
but I wonder what became of them,
those ghosts of a past
who touched my life
in a flurry of wind
and were then blown away.

Beautiful! The other day, I reread lots of letters from my old penpal and ended up asking the same question.
