🤣🤣🤣 Well then. You will be happy to know my future plan is to move #SlamWords over here once I can see a screen properly again. 😎

#QuickQuill gives the thrill of #SlamWords but I’m already getting my words out of order…

For the former slammers like me just sitting down to this table, here be the prompts 👀

For those of you who know Mad Queen Storm, she has posted on the "other place"

I wanted to share it here for anybody who loves #SlamWords and #MadCarnival

Hopefully everyone is united with you in wishing her well in her recovery!

#SlamWords #slammers

Restarting #SlamWords in its most recent form (and there have been a few forms/formats over the years) is in fact protecting her interests directly and prevents copycats from starting up competitors through ignorance or malice.

There is nothing there to vaguely indicate theft.

In fact everything there is the opposite, doing the right thing, attempting to contact MS in many ways, and making it clear that restarting #SlamWords is being done on her behalf, and waiting for her to recover and return.

Thank you for this.

I'm sorry if anyone has given you pushback, but I frankly don't understand that, because the instant I read your post about #SlamWords I knew instantly that you were paying homage to the most Magnificent Mad Queen and also bringing back something much loved.

This man loves Mad Queen Storm as we all do and what is is doing is respectful to both her and to all of us who dearly miss #SlamWords

Ok, so now we got SenseWords ... #Erotica280 I just discovered today has moved over. I've got #CreativityStir and #7WordsPoet ... PLUS!! Arlin is starting back up monthly #SlamWords

Man, if we can get #horrorprompt over here, I will be in HEAVVVVENNNNNNN!!!

Definitely, I can attest to #SlamWords being one of the best things on the international Internet!
It's already in my diary.

I have said it before and I will never stop saying it: Mad Queen Storm created two of the most fantastic prompts in all Social Media history: #SlamWords and #MadCarnival.

Those, plus her giving nature and soul filled with grace, makes her one of the best people in all the #writingcommunity

Oh yay! I love #slamwords

O M G this sounds ace! Now following. Can't wait for Sat 7 Dec at 4pm GMT. 10 prompts, 10 rounds. #WritingCommunity #SlamWords

The Seven Wonders of the World
Are the seven days of the week
So get those curtains furled
And let's all take a #peek

(I originally posted this in 2015 but it seems pertinent now 🙂, and I also used it for #SlamWords Edition 49 in 2021)

Guided by the creaking of the rusty swing-set, he finds her in the backyard.

“WD40 will sort that,” he says, making her jump. “If you’re planning to use these old things again.”

“We’re the old things,” she sniffs. “Sit with me.”

The house, too quiet, can wait.

#SlamWords 72r8

Vast spectrum of colour:
we are all born
from the death of stars.
One day
your dust and mine
will mingle
in a supernova’s breath.
#SlamWords

Autumn’s welcome chill
Time for quieter pursuits: soup, plum crumble
sofa snuggling, fuzzy socks
hot cocoa with cinnamon dreams
#SlamWords 5

Leaves crackle;
burnt sugar smell
as the fire’s heat licks out.
I can almost taste
the marshmallow
impaled on a
skeletal twig.
#SlamWords 4

Shush me with the sound
of wind in the leaves –
hush me with your mouth:
just hold me
and breathe.

#SlamWords #bonus Psithurism

At the equinox,
your soul in balance with mine
summer slides away

Rising, volcanic
your kiss my secret pleasure
indian summer
