Jan. 30
This date in 1969, the Beatles made their last public performance.
Music often brings back strong sensory images to us. Some songs relate to specific people and events. Does a song relate to a special person in your life? A special time? Write about that music, song, or even a stanza that may hold meaning for you.
Or perhaps there was a moment of coincidence/serendipity? You were thinking about that person and suddenly their song comes on the radio?
You can also take your memories and sensory experiences another step and create a short story or poem of your own.
**Today, take special notice of each and every sound you encounter. Appreciate them. Think about their tone, their quality, rhythm and cadence. Describe them with details you may use later for future writings.
Congratulation, Elizabeth, on your new blog! I will share the address with the others in my writer’s group. Your prompt made me think of “Please Come to Boston”, fall of 1974 in a bar on Locust St. looking at Brian Flynn playing pool. I was falling in love with him.
Isn’t it wonderful how we can recapture a feeling and a mood by a song? Now get out a piece of paper or write on the computer about this moment. If you can’t remember the details, imagine what they could be. And describe Brian. Thanks for sharing!
