The Indie Exchange #FlashFiveFriday: Friendship



It's Friday Flash time again...

The prompt is...
Friendship






#FlashFiveFriday is a weekly flash fiction/flash blogging prompt run by The Indie Exchange.

The rules are very simple if you’d like to take part:
1) Write for no longer than five minutes;
2) No upper or lower word limits;
3) You must write something new;
4) You can prepare your post ahead of time but the 5 minute limit still applies; and
5) If you add your blog post to the weekly linky you must visit five other blogs that week too to show your support.

Why not give it a go?

Here is mine:




Friendship

Gazing up into
The eye of the silver moon
He remembers all

A small boy running
Across a field of white blooms
Chasing a red kite

He raced to catch him
Before he could grab the rope
Of the trailing tail

Summer lasted long
Warm days drifted together -
How he misses them

Life was so simple
Friendship was easy, chasing
A twisting red kite

    1. Thanks. Funny thing is, I've never flown a kite. It looks fun though! :)

  2. Great poem, Vickie.

    Love the imagery here. I think we all miss the simplicity of our earliest years at times.
