Wings

4/356 Writing Challenge

Today was a late writing day, coming back from a 3 week winter break to school and normal activities was rough. The kiddo drew another prompt from our jar.

Today we got: Woke up with wings

I decided to go a different route today, and the kiddo branched out too, but has said I can’t share theirs. So today, you get just mine.

Oh goodness

oh my

I woke up

and I am so high!

I’m not in my bed

I just hit my head!

How oh how

did I get so high?

I feel like I

could touch the sky.

I see a flash

I see a flutter

I hear myself mutter.

I turn my head

I’m sure my face turns red.

What ARE these THings?

I answer aloud

They are WINGS!

Surely I didn’t fly

but how oh how else

could I ever get so high?

I went to bed last night

I try to remember, with all of my might.

My back was just a back

my arms were just arms.

When I awoke I was so alarmed!

I sprouted wings of no small means

during the time when I had dreams.

I dreamed I could fly

and touch the sky,

and here I am, oh so high!
