Day #13: Writing Challenge
CHALLENGE #1: OBJECT WRITING Day 13/14 “WHERE” Writing 5 minutes – “Suburban Swimming Pool” At the Community Pool. The blue water looks so refreshing on this steamy day as I stand on the edge, sucking up the courage to jump in. I don’t think I’ll jump. Not today.

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.

This is intense and heavy KJ, and I like how the light/dark mirrors the truth/deception in the relationship. "Insidious, impervious to truth"- nice!
A profound one!
Excellelent entry though deliberately dark
Ooo I liked this
Oooo, this was extremely profound! Loved your Acrostic!
And never shall the sun rise upon what happens behind closed doors. Secrets which kill the soul far quicker than damaging the body beyond repair.
Well-wrought! Definitely explores the theme in a short and--bittersweet?--way!
Nail - Head. You have mastered the target
Oooooh Keila. Love this. I mean...it's deep and kinda stingy...but love it. Well done.
Oh my. This is deep. Well done, my friend.
