Topic: Bluegrass Get Away Brainstorming
Underneath the shady pine tree
By the gentle relaxing pond
Throughout the day Away from it all
With my rod and reel
Out of pocket
Apart from the hustle and bustle
Of a busy world
Under the open sky at night
Without technology
Except for my dumb cell phone
Because of my need
For physical and mental healing

8. Mr. Pyle’s Bluegrass Get Away
Underneath the shady pine tree
By the gentle relaxing pond
Apart from the hustle and bustle of a busy world
Out of pocket
With technology
Except for my dumb cell phone
Because of my need
For physical and mental healing
I enjoy camping, fishing, and bluegrass-bluegrass-bluegrass

Writing Prompt: Throughout our lives we come in contact with many people. Some are family members, but many are unrelated to us. Some are ordinary, but others make lasting impressions because their behavior is unusual. Think about one individual you know who has made an impression on you and the one event that caused the person to be memorable. Write a reality-based narration about the event and the person so that others may see both the event and the person as clearly as you.
While the narration may be basically factual, you may enrich it with imaginative details and interesting presentation.
Do not stop writing. A timer will be set for 10 minutes. When it goes off you may write for two more minutes or stop writing. Write as many thoughts as you can.
