Words for Wednesday Prompts - Feb 14, 2024

scrabble tiles spelling words for wednesday
This February, I am the host for Words for Wednesday. Words for Wednesday was started by Delores and now is being continued by various bloggers with Elephant's Child as our coordinator. The aim of Words for Wednesday is to encourage us to write using some or all of the prompts.
    You may write your piece in the comments or post it on your blog. If posting on your blog, please leave a direct link to the post so we can all visit you. Have fun writing!

This week's prompts are some onomatopoeias:
1. meh
2. woo
3. yum
4. uh-oh
5. yippee

  2. Hi Lissa -
    Valentine's Day … he vaguely remembered he needed to do something on that day … it was in February wasn't it …
    He'd met his wife and he'd decided to woo her … but uh-oh, uh-oh it all went wrong …
    Another year … this time he'd be more grown up … not so meh! (silly being meh!) …
    He brought some sweeties … yum oh yes gums … but no, once again … it was uh-oh! … couldn't he work it out …
    Chocolates that was what was needed – he remembered the next time … and so he was able to call 'yippee' … 'yippee' – thank goodness for that … these little Words for Wednesday stretched this pensioner's imagination …

    Cheers – thanks for these interesting prompts - Hilary

    1. It sounds like he was not one for knowing what gifts to give. Way too many men feel they are in that boat.

      Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely day.
