My writer pal threw a little writing
prompt at me the other day but I wasn’t able to get around to it until early
this morning. I forgot my book on my morning commute so I plucked away at it to
keep myself busy after fussing over the crossword in the daily paper. I needed
to use the word ‘turbid’ in a poem.
The above is the result. It. Was. Fun.
In propinquity,
