Mental Overload
Written for This Week’s Writer’s Workshop
Prompts hosted by our friend, John Holton.
We’re given several topics and asked to write
one or two of them. I’ve chosen #3 which asks:
What’s taking up the most mental space for you right now?
Here goes!
Perchance To Dream
Written for Violet’s Quote Challenge where she
has asked us to include the following quote into
our writing: “If you’re happy in a dream, does
that count?” Here’s my response to the challenge.
Postcard Moment
Written for Sadje’s “What Do You See” #318.

If I Could Hear Fairies’ Wings
Written for The Daily Spur Writing Exercise where the challenge
is to describe an object using only the sense of hearing.
This is my description. The accompanying video
will reveal what I am listening to.
Listening to this apparatus I hear what sounds like gentle cascading waterfalls similar to a bevy of swans as it glides onto and across a lake.
If I could hear fairies’ wings fluttering or hummingbirds hovering at their feeders, I believe they would sound like this.
There’s a regal quality, as well, like that of stately Baroque dancers performing a minuet.
Closing my eyes and listening intently, I see images of mushrooms sprouting through the earth, flowers opening, plants unfolding and trees shooting up to skies.
I can hear an arrow quivering through the air and insects buzzing by my ear.
The sun rises, slowly spreading glorious light from ocean to ocean and the silhouette of a ballerina pirouettes across the horizon.
I hear sand dunes shifting and snowflakes collecting on holly branches.
The heavens open as an albatross soars higher and higher to the tone a finely tuned Steinway.
A choir of angels is singing.

This is J.S. Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor”, usually played on a pipe organ. Here is Amy Turk … harpist, arranger, composer and session artist from the UK … playing Bach’s iconic piece which has been transcribed for the harp, the item I was describing.
