It has been awhile since I tried my hand at creative writing. I blame it on the loss of Creative Copy Challenge.
Thank you for allowing me this moment of departure.
Word Power
Words are powerful
Words connect us
Alienate
Inspire
Defeat us
We fight them
Embrace them
And look to unmask them
We use words
Abuse words
Invent words
Amuse words
We transport words
In text and song
Through pen stroke
And keystroke
Words tumble in our minds
Lending voice to silence
And power to the unspoken
We surrender to the power of words

Live…Laugh…Love
Departure appreciated. 🙂
I miss Creative Copy Challenge, too. I still go back and look through old posts, though.
Like how you use your words here, Cathy. 🙂
Thanks, Lori. A bit rusty and need to knock off a few cobwebs. 😉
Hi Cathy! Not sure if you remember me, but I used to love the CCC also. In fact, while I don’t write as much as I used to, I was wondering about the CCC and checked on the old website, and then searched to see if I could find out if a new site had started or anything. Unfortunately no, but I did find your blog and this post.
I hope you are doing well! I also loved your poem, and enjoyed surrendering to your words. 🙂
Hi Chris. Of course, I remember you. I keep CCC buds close to my heart. Shane has thought about bringing CCC back, but as you can imagine, it’s a pretty big undertaking. I miss Shane and all my CCC buds.
Nice to see you again, Chris. I appreciate you dropping by. 🙂
