Easy Peasy Writes – 9/17/25
Addicted to Purple
Empty and quiet the views inside and out. The older couple has left their constant perch. No one thought the threat of Covid was real and unfortunately for these two home bound people, never thought it would reach them. The deliveries they frequently used were not by masked individuals and the distant family members blamed them for bringing the fatal disease into the couple’s lives. A sad fact is these people will not be missed.

Questions!
QUESTIONS OF THE DAY
Where do you primarily shop for groceries? Walmart-Mart because they deliver.
Do you share the same photos in your blog as you put on Instagram? Why or why not? I’m not on Instagram.
If you have a blog do you write book reviews? If you’re on Goodreads do you put them there? On Amazon? Other? I don’t actually review it but sometimes put my personal opinion.
Do you, like me, look forward to posts from bloggers who write using a self-created prompt on a specific day of the week? Definitely 😉

Esther’s Writing Prompts
Promises made in campaign speeches should all be taken with a grain of salt. Whether a small town sheriff or a presidential candidate, the contender will say whatever they think the voters want to hear. It’s also possible they are sincere but when in the actual chair after being elected, they find they are not the only one making decisions, and may not be able to fulfill their pledges. It’s politics, and should be taken with skepticism.

Sitting there like a waxwork, Joe was concentrating on the new algorithm the instructor offered. Whatever Joe’s answer was, would not elicit praise from the professor – only the teacher’s pet, a razzle-dazzle freshman dressed in tight jeans.

The Writer’s Workshop
“Just go ahead and press that button“ said the newly appointed secretary of war. It will fix everything all at once. The criminals, people of color, immigrants, you name it, sir, all will be gone. You will be able to join your white brothers and sisters in the safety of the highly armored golden ballroom to celebrate. The incompetent, unknowing leader of the “free” world complied.

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts: September 18, 2025
Tanka Tuesday Choka
Let’s have fun with kigo words!
We only use kigo words for haiku and haibun, but as we learned by writing to the 24 Seasons of Japan challenges we did a while back, the kigo words are fun to use in the other syllabic forms.
This week, choose from the White Dew (September 7 – 22) Hakuro 白露 kigo words or phrases and write a syllabic poem. You must use the kigo word or phase in your poem. See the kigo words below.
Featured Kigo: Autumn grasses, the seven flowers of autumn, quail, dew, traveling, journeys, new beginnings, back to school, darkening days, autumn sunsets, autumn vigor, crows, ripening fruits, mushrooms, grapes, the harvest moon, horse chestnuts, roadside flowers of cosmos and goldenrod.

darkening days here
threatening cold icy hail
clouds moving swiftly
small creatures into hiding
no autumn sunset
clouds covering harvest moon
nightfall respite stills the storm
