In My Mind's Eye

In My Mind's Eye 

✨

In my mind’s eye

Stars, they whirl

With wings they fly

Brightly swirl

Speckles of light

Golden spark

The jewels of night

Slay the dark


In my mind’s eye

The late spring frost

Was the faint sigh

Of winter lost

The snow had flown

Yet as before

The windows shone

With frost once more


In my mind’s eye

A small blazing light

Flaring up high 

It conquers the night

Once a bright star

Yet it tumbled down

Now raging far

As a flaming crown


In my mind’s eye

A long forgotten pond

Cradles the sky

And the space far beyond

A wrinkled dream

Of a vast boundless sphere

The faintest gleam

Like a cloudy mirror

Words

Words Dazzling stars  On a white paper sky. More precious than jewels. Delighting the eye. Like many colored pencils  That shape a work of art. They flow softly like moonbeams  Or pierce through the heart. Like brightly colored beads  Waiting to be strung. To be taken and put on paper Or slide off the tongue. To be carefully connected  In a design well thought out, And have life flow through them  Without reluctance or doubt. To spread warmth through the heart  Of whoever may see Them as the beautiful formation  The author created them to be. ~Madelyn B.

3... 2... 1... Liftoff!

     Bonjour! Good day!      Here we are, the very first post of A Writer's Pen. If all goes to plan, I will be posting here every Monday (Update: this has since switched to every other Thursday) . My hope for this blog is that I will be able to help and encourage other writers through their courageous venture through the exhilarating (and at times, quite grueling) process of picking up the pen!      They say that " The pen is mightier than the sword" . And I'm sure anyone who has wielded one will agree that, at times, it certainly feels as heavy as a sword! Many of us may remember beginning to feel that first spark of a writer inside of us. For most, it was fanned by a passionate love of reading. But once you picked up that pen (or, let's be honest, opened that laptop) then, bam . Just like that. Gone is the idea of carelessly writing out half a dozen chapters without pause. In place of that is the knowledge of the painsta...

Flash Fiction Contest!

     It seems that Thursday has come and gone without a post on A Writer's Pen . My apologies!      I have a bit of a surprise in today's post. One that I've stored in my idea vault for quite some time and been longing to do. So without further ado...  I will be hosting a flash fiction contest on this blog!        Let's get into the specifics...      To start off, I'd better define "flash fiction". Flash fiction a very short piece of fiction. It could be a story or a mere glimpse   into a much bigger picture. Flash fiction is one of my favorite things to write, so I'm thrilled to be doing this contest!      How To Enter           Write a story based off of this picture:      (Fun fact: I took this photo in our fire pit with a clock key and a flower from one of our flower pots)      Send it to me by the due date (see Rules). Please includ...
