Crispin was delighted with his new job. A chance to expand and experiment with his creativity.
But now on his second day the boss has called him into his office.
“Crispin,” he says, “I fear you haven’t quite grasped the essence of this job. When I said present a range of colour palettes, I didn’t mean wooden pallets.”
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)

I knew there’d be those who disagreed
But I had to voice the things I believed
I considered it my God-given deed
To shout loud against Elitist greed
Against those who treat us like a noxious weed
To be disregarded until there’s need
Those same who believed our diet nothing but calorific feed
Those who were busily broadcasting their pernicious Creed
Those who cared not if we bleed
Those who turned deaf ears to our plea
When we demanded the right to live free
84 words written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt: Creed
Adrift with a float
There was a boat
The boat was red
To me it sped
Held in my sight
Despite the light
The boat passed by
Left me to die.
But I’m alive
Was it a joke?
Or maybe a dream
That’s how it seems
I hope I woke.
Here’s how it works:
