Saturday Mix – Bastet

Hello All … nice to see you again.

As you know we’re experimenting with a new Saturday format to see where we’re eventually going to “land”.  The idea is that although poetry will not be neglected as this is poetry day (and Shadorma day since day one!), we will also introduce one of the micro-story telling modes be it Flash Fiction or perhaps a max 50 word write or perhaps a Power Short – with a little touch of genre from time to time, like today!

Today we’re going to play around with the mystery genre not using more than 150 words.  So let’s put on our Conan Doyle thinking caps and give it a whirl.

First of all for your inspiration here’s list of five things … clues perhaps of what happened and who done it.

A BROKEN VASE

THREE DAISIES

A KNIFE

A MUSSED UP RUG

A SHOPPING BAG

And a photo for orientation …

As always you may prefer to write a Shadorma (syllabic poem with a meter of 3/5/3/3/7/5) or you may choose one of the poetry forms in our Glossary of Forms. If you’re feeling really inspired try mixing your mystery with a Shadorma ending creating a Shadorma Summation mixing prose with poetry!

Once you’ve completed your work ping us in your post then please tag Mindlovesmisery’s Menagerie and Saturday Mix.  Then link to Mr. Linky so it’ll be easier for our readers to find your work.  That’s all there is to it – except of course, have fun.

Ciao –  Bastet!

About Georgia

I love to read...I like to write...I've travelled the world and seen the sites. I'm past my prime and feel so young, especially when near the young. I'm writing this blog, to remember, to think and to share...with the hopes that someone else will make a comment that will stimulate new thoughts and pathways. Actually, I'm a gabber, so the logical extension of gabbing is blogging! ;-)
