Words for Wednesday Prompts - Feb 12, 2025

This February, I am the host for Words for Wednesday. Words for Wednesday is started by Delores a while ago. Now the prompts are hosted by various people on various blogs with Elephant's Child as the coordinator. The aim of Words for Wednesday is to encourage us to write using some or all of the prompts.

This week's prompts are:

1 - cruel
2 - return
3 - sneak
4 - solitary
5 - middle

Charlotte (Mother Owl)'s color of February is Glass Elephant Blue. See the color at Charlotte's blog over here.

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!

  3. It’s not cruel to sneak away with a solitary glass elephant blue middle aged person ... as long as both don't return.

  6. Hi Lissa ... thanks for hosting ... here's mine:

    Sneaky elephants disappear into the blue, even in the middle of a stand of mopane trees in the Botswana bush.

    They thought they'd buy her a solitary glass trinket she could add into her collection of ornaments, it'd be cruel if they didn't take something home for her.

    Next time they hoped they'd be able to take their ever expanding family into the bush with them to enjoy such a wonderful experience.

    Cheers Hilary

    3. Elephants in their native habitat would be worth going to see.

    4. Ha, Hilary, I guess I also had my thoughts taken for action.
      We both seem to have a faible for grey charakters: You for elephants, I for donkeys. ;-)
      Not that I do not like elephants very much.
