My Favourite Place To Write
A Challenge Accepted
This is a challenge for a poem about my favourite place to write. I shall go for a standard sonnet in a rough iambic pentameter.
Music is "Writing's On The Wall" by OK Go

So where is my favourite place to write?
Somewhere with a blank page , a pen and quiet
To lay my tools and let my mind run riot
Sometimes in the day , Sometimes in the night
βοΈ
I need a desk or a solid table
A window to look out on sun or moon
To let in the air, a breeze, and then soon
My mind can wander to find a fable
βοΈ
My perfect writing place is on my own
With all that I need, a pen and paper
A room equipped and in my own sweet home
So I can become a story shaper
Telling tales that take the reader to Rome
Epic maker, Reality breaker

In fact it is three quatrains and a couplet each line containing only five syllables , which caused me problems as I have been writing my sonnets in a vague iambic pentameter.

In The Blink of Her Eye
Time itself bent and morphed, allowing Shannon the precious seconds needed to see and adjust to the disaster unfolding in front of her. Each frame showed minute details she would have missed had the clock not slowed down until she heard every click of the hands as they swept toward the end of everything. If only she was being melodramatic...
