Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (U.S.).
Today’s word is “yearn.”
Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.
Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Please check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.
And be sure to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this prompt. Show them some love.
Deb, over at Nope, Not Pam, has this weekly challenge called A Letter a Week, where she gives us a place, an emotion, an adjective, a verb, and an animal all starting with the same letter. Then she asks us to write a post using those items and the letter she has given us, which this week is the letter Y.
“What were you doing with your binoculars looking into our neighbor’s yard?” Karen asked her husband. “Were you gawking at Donna? I know you yearn for her, don’t you? And don’t you dare lie to me, either.”
Bill yawned, as if emphasizing a sign of boredom. “Well, Donna is rather yummy looking, isn’t she?”
Donna gasped. “I knew it!” she said, trying hard not to cry.
Bill walked over and put his arms around his wife. “But she’s not nearly as yummy as you are, Karen. You’re the yummiest woman I know.”
Karen looked up at her husband and said, “So what were you doing looking into her yard, then?”
“I heard a bird singing and I was unfamiliar with its sound and I wondered what kind of bird it was. So I grabbed my binoculars and found a nest of the unusual, for these parts, anyway, yahina bird in a tree in her backyard,” Bill explained. “Here,” he said, handing his binoculars to Karen.
Karen put the binoculars up to her eyes, looked into their neighbor’s yard, and said, “I see it. It’s a very unusual bird.”
“Yes it is,” Bill said, quickly taking back the binoculars before Karen could spot Donna, who was sunbathing in the nude on the other side of the wooden fence that separated their yards.
