Love Haiku #11
Ho, ho, ho— your laugh
calls me; snow knee-deep, we make
angels on our backs

Rise and shine! Time to get out your stop watches, exercise your typing fingers, and pick your brains for some quick creativity.
Monday’s One-Minute Fiction challenges you to write a complete micro-fiction piece in, you guessed it, one minute, no more, no less, based on the prompt provided! Of course, you can come back to edit for grammar & spelling, but the story itself must be written in a minute.
Your prompt may be a photo, or a word, or a sentence—whatever inspires me, and hopefully inspires you too.
Christmas is just a week away! Despite this, a lot of us are feeling very “bah humbug.” Maybe a few flakes will change that? I’m always dreaming of a white Christmas, but this week’s prompt is another favorite Christmas song…
Now it’s time for the rules. I don’t have many, because we all know rules are no fun, but here are the basic logistics for each challenge:
And that’s it! Let’s get to writing, shall we? And…
Ready . . .
Set . . .
Write!

Sleet pelts my head—
I left my hat and scarf
at home—
my hair is stiff in the
frozen air.
I trudge through the ice—
my feet numb in my boots.
I’m shivering for the warmth
of my bed and snuggie.
I enter my 2-bedroom apartment—
the air has been turned
down to 56.
Thermostat Nazi strikes again.
