[Prompt: Look around and choose 4 things within 4 ft. of you and 4 minutes to write about them.]
The digital machine hums as it begins its daily rituals– attendance, email, wordLe, it’s warmed up for the day of hard work.
A ten-year-old sits with his favorite fotbol jersey on scribbling away in his notebook about Spiderman’s adventures
My coffee sits waiting to be sipped… adorned with white almond foam -it turns luke warm
Notebook soft and delicate craves to be written in– my script fills it’s pages as it sighs with relief that it is being used today.

So glad I stopped by today. Yet another great way to generate some writing from not-nothing. My notebook is still insistent, and unlike yours, neither soft nor delicate. But it does offer a space for thoughts-not-ready-for-prime-time. Love this small scene 4-4-4.

I really like this prompt and I also want to try it. I’m always amazed by what I notice and think about and end up writing when I have a constraint like this. You’ve crafted a gentle piece that has something important to say about writing.
