Ha. I pick this gorgeous picture of a Lighthouse that is super inspirational for this weeks writing prompt… and I’m really expecting it to jilt me straight into writing.
Instead, I have a super busy week and don’t post very much at all… let alone work on this writing prompt.
>_> So. I’m taking a leaf out of my own advice book, because I won’t not do a writing prompt response.
Welcome to a Saturday Session of Amanda Can’t Write Poetry!
A ghost lives in that lighthouse
And it is her haunting gaze that lures in the sailors
Not her song
But her broken eyes
And the pain that shines out through their iridescence
She calls to them with her pain
And brings them to the edge of the structure
Their boats crashing
Their hands scrambling for shore
Only to find the lighthouse door locked
From the outside.
Heavy inspiration for this came from the song Lighthouse by The Hush Sound.
If you’ve responded to the writing prompt, make sure to link back to me! I love posting your responses to go along with my own!
