Seasons
Centus time again! As usual Jenny has given us a prompt (in blue) & we have 100 words to complete a creative piece. Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘I love autumn’, she thought to herself. ‘All those brilliant colours. So vibrant & alive.’
The early November sunshine cast golden rays across the lawn picking out the reflections from leaves that had already succumbed to the oncoming winter.
‘It is such a sad time though. All that remembering about the horror of war. All that reminding of suffering around us when those collection boxes rattle on the streets. I’m sure there are more of them at this time of year.’
She turned & put on the radio.
The strains of the Byrds ‘Turn, Turn, Turn’ filled her kitchen with music. She listened.
‘Ummm,’ she thought.

I found this very hard this week. I had so much I wanted to say but such a limit on the words but then that’s the idea! do go over to ‘Off on my Tangent’ as there are some fasbulous entries this week!
I love how you introduced the ‘sound track’ to your story. It just unfurled through my mind as I visualized your story so clearly.
This was wonderful.
I’m glad you linked.
The word limit is hard but it really does make you pare down to the very core of the story.
And you are so excellent at that!
Loved it. Perfect use of the song to make up for not having more than 100 words. The lyrics already speak volumes, and you didn’t even have to write them.
So clever!
=)
Turn, turn, turn….
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late!
I loved your story.
Thanks for such a well written reminder of those who are without……….cj
Truly this does seem like a very reflective topic this week. I agree it is the time of year that brings up so many thoughts.

Very well done…and I loved Turn, Turn, Turn when it was in the Tops.
Takes you back eh. Great to see you here!
A good Centus for Veterans Day. A lot of meaning packed into your 100 words. Well done.

This was very well done. You captured the dichotomy beautifully. And I love the song choice, perfection, Kat
Many thanks. Much appreciated
One of my favorite Bible passages is
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8!
“To everything there is a season, and
a time to every purpose under heaven:”
