@NightFury i love it sweet, well done. Also love your writing. I wasn't able to participate in this one but I'm hoping one of them will spark my imagination and I'll be able to write something. I struggle with things like this though but I love being able to read others.

@NightFury This is such a lovely idea for a thread. Here is my response to the prompt:
Drip drip
Raindrops fall on my tail
My fur is wet, my body shivers
My stomach longs to be filled
I can smell their food
I feel the steam warm my whiskers
Maybe I will get a bite to eat
I hide in the bushes
Waiting for scraps to fall
Trying to keep dry
I know how to hunt
I know how to purr
I know that while today is hard
I am always able to
Take care of myself
And be young, wild and free

interested in this thread although i probably won't participate
i mostly stopped writing over the past year and a half because the subject matter has just become too gratuitously violent and dark and sexual that it disgusts me. i guess it doesn't matter because i'm an incredibly constipated writer. i tried to write last night and walked out with one paragraph. i have also noticed as i grow older i get more precious and secretive of my writing and my output has completely crashed

@NightFury @Shaz51 @MissGremlin @Jynx
The person in the picture
I imagine that they're me
Standing like a statue
Terrified to breathe
Glancing up from my pose
I take a look around
I take off the armour
Raise my feet from the ground
All of the potential
All the fun to be had
It's like a playground
To climb and slide and play
I climb up to the ceiling
And see the coloured drapes
I jump and slide and wwhhhheeeeeeee!!!!!!
With very little grace
I use the beams as monkey bars
Swinging from the rafters
Just try and catch me!
I'm not breaking anything!
I use the carpet as a mat
Along the slippery ground
It was on the staircase
And already worn out
Sliding in the drizzling rain
Everyone is inside
It just became a waterpark!
A smile so big and wide
I look up at the flagpoles
And suddenly it's a bridge
I run and jump and race across
At least the gaps weren't big
Then I check the place over
Make sure nothing is out of place
I retake my position
With elegance and grace
