Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN

They say Kenneth was the best lumberjack on the coast. He knew what tools to use and how to use them to bring down even the biggest, tallest, sturdiest trees. And yet, he seemed curiously regretful that he had to cut trees down. For he had a reverence for the big ones, the ones that had lived through the rise and fall of empires, that had been old before man had invented the printing press that consumed so many of them. There was one big old tree, the Marlborough it was called, Kenneth practically worshipped.
The day came when Kenneth was ordered to cut down the Marlborough. He made no complaint. He applied his knowledge to bring it down safely, to produce as much useful lumber as possible. And then he saw the face where he’d cut it down. He said not a word, but threw down his tools, got drunk in town, and never lifted a saw or ax to a tree again.

It’s either that, Brian, or you’re hoping to break into showbiz as a ventriloquist
