Freedom from Earrings
Yeap, that makes about as much sense as any of my titles. . .😀
This is a response to a poetry writing prompt from my Scribophile friend and editor of “Brainscatter” on Medium, Peculiar Julia, who is spending the entire month of April writing daily prompts for NaPoWriMo. It’s a short month, only 30 days according to the knuckles on my hand.
From her post:
Write some mass/abstract nouns down on pieces of paper.
Fold the papers and put them in a dish (charades style).
Put some random objects on a tray, or some random pictures of objects on a Pinterest board.
Pick a paper from the dish.
Make a poem about your abstract noun, featuring one of the objects/the subjects of your picture.
The first thing I did was write my list on recycled paper (I believe it’s the deed for our house in Switzerland, but I can’t read German.)
mass/abstract nouns:
vehicle (because I just updated my auto insurance)
tow truck
semi
barge
Then, I thought, I wonder what “mass/abstract” nouns means. I Googled it.
