January craves sun’s cool embrace.
February frost thaws as we chase
March steps into spring’s teasing song.
April dances along, waking
May in morning dew.
June greets solstice sun anew.
July heats up the pace, then
August showers relieve the place.
September chills as nights grow cold,
October leaves age red, orange, gold.
November nip moves days indoors.
December snow flutters…
Write Tight
Should it stay, or should it go?
Three questions to ask when deciding to keep or cut words in your writing:
- Does it add meaning?
- Does the line need it?
- Does it slow the writing down?
The Writing Prompt?
