WEDNESDAY'S POETRY PROMPTS: 5/8/24 ~ TRADE WIND POSSIBILITIES

TRADEWIND POSSIBILITIES © 2024 - G. Smith (BMI) =================== I get up, Pour a cup, Drag a comb across my head. Check the news, I get the blues, Makes me wanna go back to bed.

Caught in the doldrums of our day-to-day; So tell me, tell me, what do you say, We get away?

Let’s go, Where the trade winds blow, Sail the seas, Of possibilities. Stop at all, The ports of call, Just you and me, Just you and me.

Another nine-to-five, Another hour-long drive, Both ways in and out. Can’t you see It doesn’t have to be? No doubt, no doubt.

Living this life as if we’re indentured; Tired of being an old back-bencher! We need an adventure!

So let’s go, Where the trade winds blow, Sail the seas, Of possibilities. No time for bad news; Let’s head out on a sunset cruise? Just you and me, Just you and me.

Visit the Keys, visit Jamaica, Visit the Bahamas, if you wanna, I won’t make ya. Go to Hawaii, go to Tahiti, Go to the Solomons, whataya say, Sweetie?

Let’s go, Where the trade winds blow, Sail the seas, Of possibilities. Stop at all, The ports of call, Just you and me, Just you and me.

Stop at all, The ports of call, Just you and me, Just you and me.

The Convair R3Y Tradewind was the only turboprop-powered flying boat to enter U.S. Navy service. Designed as a replacement for the Martin JRM Mars transport, five R3Y-1 and six R3Y-2 aircraft were built. In September 1956, the crew of this R3Y-2 carried out the first-ever simultaneous refueling of four F9F-8 Cougar fighters from VF-111 at NAS North Island (lockheed martin)

Tradewinds Launch - A Fae Tales Novel - Jan 31st

FULL NOVEL RELEASE on JANUARY 31st - EXCLUSIVE to REAM & PATREON ONLY

In the dangerous, ethereal realm of the fae, alliances between the Seelie and Unseelie fae merchants are few. Some say impossible. Matan, a Seelie fae and peacock pheasant shifter with a talent for trade, must keep his Seelie alignment a secret as he embarks on a perilous journey to gather wealth and save a loved one from a terrible curse. He joins an Unseelie merchant caravan of fae who would surely eat him if they learned of his alignment. The enigmatic Udir, a paranoid Unseelie master of poisons and bearded vulture shifter, discovers Matan’s secret and threatens to blackmail him in exchange for vile favours. But Udir’s bravado and bluster hides a painful past and Matan isn’t as innocent or as naïve as he seems. Amid bustling markets, savvy clients, and travelling to new lands Matan has never seen before, Tradewinds is a story of love, found family, trust, betrayal, and the healing that can grow in the shadows of the vibrant, perilous southern fae lands.

WEDNESDAY'S WEEKLY POETRY PROMPTS: 5/8/24

From Robert Lee Brewer's blog, Poetic Asides...

Write a POSSIBILITIES poem.  Write a poem about things that are possible, even if not likely.  Or write a poem about things that aren't possible that you wish were.  Or write a poem about things that are likely, but for whatever reason are impossible.  Only you know what is possible with this one.

And from Sherwin-Williams comes this randomly selected color name from their "covers the earth" palette:

TRADEWIND

Remember: 

These prompts are springboards to creativity. 

Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Just a massive turboprop-powered flying boat refuelling three fighters named after Irish supernatural deities, nothing to see here.
