Photo Prompt by Roger Bultot
I haven’t written for many months
Heart heavier, notebooks abandoned.
I pass this bench every day
View attractive, bench unappealing.
I suss it out, this grotty chair
Old mould, new stains, suspicious mess.
I spy the view behind this seat
That turbulent, lustful, aquatic feast.
I wonder why when planning took place
Developers chose to opposite face.
For those who observe the passing world
Or need a corner within to pause?
For those who need a moment to rest
Want more than a diversion?
Waits for romantics, and scribers of schemes
Resting idle, deserted, ’till a writer dreams.
The year is 2023 and Rochelle Wisoff-Fields continues to set the challenge and encourage this community of writers. An effort appreciate by us all. The challenge is to write a story in 100 words or fewer.
For other 100 word fiction, read here.

It would have been so much serene had it faced the water! Great Take!

This is lovely, Trish. And yes, it is odd that the bench backs the water. Then again, we don’t know what’s in front…

A nice poetic response about inspiration running dry. I enjoyed this. I liked the style too. Seems to convey a writer struggling for words.

Yes, the placement is odd. Unless it was commissioned by a Chiropractor, I guess…
