Hello everyone and a warm welcome to Part 2) of the entries for my weekly: “Fiction in A Flash Challenge” Week #26.
Today I’m featuring contributions from entry Part 2) By Ladyleemanila
Last week I set the following Challenge:
Hello everyone and welcome to my new “Fiction in A Flash Challenge!” Each week I’ll be featuring an image and inviting you to write a Flash Fiction or Non-Fiction piece inspired by that image in any format and genre of your choosing. Maximum word count: 750 words.
Here is the image prompt and Ladyleemanila’s contribution.
THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “Winter Morning” by James Crews: longer, watch, chapped, grateful, ticking, listen, sip, scent, fooled, tired, remember, tangerine
Snap, crackle, crunch
That’s the fire making all these sounds
While teddy bear watches
The scent of the tangerine
The sip of the mulled wine
Grateful for the minced pies
That Granny baked
So grateful indeed for our highs
Remember those times?
When we’re all cosy by the fire
Watching the Muppets Christmas Carol
Or listening to Frank or Bill or Dean
While the Grandfather’s clock ticking
When we can no longer wait
For Christmas morning to come
Presents under the tree and start our fete

I enjoyed your poem, Ladylee. I don’t ever think I’ve had a fireplace in any of the homes I’ve lived in. It always sounds so wonderful. 🙂
