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.
Todays prompt: Use “manipulation”, “children”, and “recovery” in a poem. Happy writing!

This one is a bit dark…
Plasticine
“Hold it in your hands
for a few minutes”,
he told her
with the wisdom of age.
He knew that would make
manipulation easier,
make the plasticine
more plastic,
malleable,
flexible.
And that would make it easier
to make the models
true to life
true likenesses
of the one
who had abused her
so there could be no mistake.
Lots of models.
Ready for pins
to be inserted
in accordance
with instruction.
Enough
to ensure
there would be no recovery.
The mothers smiled
as they watched
their children
playing
so happily.
