All that was left of him rested quietly in their hands.
It was the best of him;
where his thoughts once dwelt,
and his words were given life.
Boiled, down to the bones.
The photo was adopted from the Trifecta blog site, for the Trifexta 33 word weekend photo challenge.
Awesome job on the 33 word challenge. I love it.

Hi Kathy, Thank you. It was fun to have a short challenge for a specific image, I enjoyed it :-)
DeleteI loved these sorts of prompts and exercises. It sharpens our writing skills. Nicely adapted.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brenda. I really like them too. It is sometimes harder to make things short and concise. I saw some really creative adaptations though, that put my poor little words to shame! ;-)
DeleteSo sad. I think things like that... Then I think, who will care after a couple more generations?
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
I have discovered there are some morbid likenesses between us... perhaps we ought to have a challenge that involves murder, mayhem, and mystery? ;-)
DeleteThank you Darlene!
Thanks for linking up to the weekend Trifecta Challenge. Your response hit me right in the gut--just last night I boiled chicken in a stew. The meat fell from the bones, and it's all I could think of when I read your response. Ugh. :-) Your writing is beautiful. I take issue with your response to Brenda's comment. Your talent is obvious. I hope to see you back on Monday for the weekday challenge.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by to read. I like the challenges that make me think a bit about them. It wakes the muse. I appreciate your encouragement, and will certainly be back for the weekday challenge:-)
DeleteIt was the best of him...where thoughts once dwelt. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelly, for taking the time.
