okay I set up the prompts and I already did this one once because it was stuck in my head but I really am trying to do the pad challenge using the Fae Corps Publishing prompts so …
my response is :
daisy chains
tied us together
in flowers and paper
childhood memories
tree trimmings
and moments in the world
each one precious
each one unique
a chance to be
young eternally

my response is:
all knowledge began
with the blank page,
a pen at the ready,
and oral tradition
ready to be written down.
without the blank page
the oral tradition dies
when the last storyteller
died without passing it on.
how much knowledge was forgotten
for the want of ink and paper,
or because the book was then burned?

The Changeover by Margaret Mahy
A clammy hand pressed Laura down onto her knees beside Jacko’s bed. It was the hand of terror, nothing less.’
It was a warning. Laura felt it when she looked in the mirror that morning. There had been others: the day her father left home, the day she met Sorensen – the boy with the strange silver eyes.
But nothing had prepared Laura for the horror of today. And now her little brother, Jacko, was fighting for his life after being sucked dry of his youth by the sinister Carmody Braque.
Laura knows there is only one way to save Jacko; she must join Sorensen and use his supernatural powers to change over if there is to be any hope for her little brother.
An unforgettable, supernatural romance.
My Thoughts
This was quite a good read. Very young adult romance. I always wanted to read more about the characters.

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.
Still fighting bronchitis and I have a new wound in my foot. I am attempting the pad challenge using the Fae Corps Publishing prompts. This year I have been unable to see anything from the writer’s digest prompts. I guess I am just not in the right place for them.
Are you doing the pad challenge this year ?

Serena’s response is:
Dripping ink pours
from every pore
as if it were my
lifeblood leaking
I need to write to survive
and still it drips freely
as if I am unable to use it
fast enough

here is my response:
the child flies
on dreams given
lifted by faery wings
and soaring on
the breath of the gods.
For what else could they do
to weave dreams into
some form of reality.
faery wings and dreams
lifted by the breath of the gods
to be eternal and alift.

my answer to the prompt:
Forgotten Knowledge
is so easily found
in old books and dust
the old knowledge
stored in libraries
oft forgotten
