Good morning! Today's Writing Essential has gone to the dogs... and cats, birds, bunnies, pigs, horses! The theme is Animalia, and you are invited to post your short stories and poems about animals.
Of course, as always, you don't need to stick to the theme, it's a prompt for those looking for fun ideas!
I posted my animal story this morning: Uncaged, about my beloved African Grey parrot.
And first up to be featured is:
Inchman by Duckie O
A gorgeous and layered poem about an inchworm
My daughter is visiting me this week. She arrived the day before yesterday, and today I am taking her to Carlsbad Caverns via Roswell, New Mexico. I'll be back online tonight to continue reading and to pick my favorite Animalia pieces to feature and write-up, but it might be quite late. Thanks for your patience!
Join the Gather Writing Essential!

Thanks for being an available inspiration.
Safe Journeys
Bill - yeah, I LOVE living in New Mexico!
I'm so glad to hear your daughter is visiting. You must be over the moon! I remember your story about her, your rocky road back into her life. I'll be thinking of you both today, with all the love and best wishes another mother can send.
Gradyb here. I just did join the group at gather. I'm still sort of lost, but am sure
with time I'll figure out how to find my way around. I'm thrilled to hear that you are
going on a journey with your daughter. To me there is no blessing like a daughter.
I have two, and am extremely close to my youngest. She is one of my best friends
and buddy. I love to spend time with her. Hope your day was wonderful, full of
love and laughter.
