Poppy’s Prompts. Top Story - January 2024.
Hello Vocalites! I'm back with another challenge, competition, prompt thingo. Here's the deal this time: I'm going to give you five prompts which will just be one or two words with no context. You have to make a poem from it. You can do one prompt or combine multiple, it doesn't matter. You can also enter as many entries as you want. It's that simple.

Opening the Door to 2024
Can you feel it? Can you hear it knocking? A new year is testing the latch and looking for gaps in the weatherstripping. In a few hours' time, we'll open that door and let it in, each at our own specific time and in our own way. Well, those of us who live on Earth, use the Gregorian calendar, and consider the beginning of the year to be January 1.

My Vocal Story Gone Without a Trace
Writing, in any form, is deeply personal. Each word is a fragment of oneself. My journey with writing has been lifelong, evolving from journaling a daily decades-old routine to authoring a book on life lessons I learned from raising dogs and children. I've also enjoyed penning over 300 book reviews and multiple articles about life.

What You Read is What You Get
What type of writer do you feel you are? There are many answers that come to mind for this one, and not all are complimentary. Overall, though, I think I'll have to go with "undisciplined."

The Cup of Coffee
In the core of an old Bedouin town, settled between the transcending hills and the unpleasant murmurs of the breeze, there existed a story that sent shudders down the spines of the boldest spirits. It was an account of a reviled Arabic espresso, a mix that brought not warmth and kinship, but rather an obscurity that saturated the actual spirits of the people who thought for even a moment to taste it.
