#WIPSnips word — “lift”

I’ve been loving these! It’s given me motivation to write again!

“As she forwards to the cliff’s edge, her bare feet aching over tiny, sharp pebbles, the massive creature descends. Lifting the ash off the ground with a soft flutter of its wings, she squints and hides her eyes until the dust clears. She does not cower. She does not run. Instead, she reaches her hand until the creature bows to accept her peace offering. Its magnificence she could have never imagined before that moment.” Excerpt From WAR AND BLOOD: Book One Shanice E. Wilson This material may be protected by copyright.

Today’s poem is called ‘How to Avoid Mixing Your Metaphors’.
How to Avoid Mixing Your Metaphors   It’s not rocket surgery. First, get all your ducks on the same page. After all, you can’t make an omelette without breaking stride.   Be sure to watch what you write with a fine-tuned comb. Check and re-check until the cows turn blue. It’s as easy as falling off a piece of cake.   Don’t worry about opening up a whole hill of beans: you can always burn that bridge when you come to it, if you follow where I’m coming from.   Concentrate! Keep your door closed and your enemies closer. Finally, don’t take the moral high horse: if the metaphor fits, walk a mile in it. Brian Bilston

Today’s poem is called ‘The Good Old Days’.
The Good Old Days   Pity the poor children of today, with their calendars stuffed with chocolates,   never to know the thrill of opening a small cardboard door and discovering behind it   a picture of a bell. Brian Bilston

Sadly, the current western economic model does not provide for cultural preservation, only cultural exploitation.

It was surreal and interesting speaking to 100m gold medalist Julien Alfred and hearing her story as well as how much she has been celebrated in Saint Lucia #sprint #athletics #parisolympics
