#WednesdayWritingPrompt - Patterning


Patterning is making a list in which you repeat the same form of words to introduce each item. The repetition helps release ideas and feelings. It’s also a chance to play with words. The list becomes a kind of rhythmic writing which can have a very strong effect and may even turn into a poem!

Are you  ready to begin?
Sit comfortably with your notebook and pen (or electronic device).

Write quickly, without thinking too much and enjoy experimenting.
Take one of these opening phrases and write a line with it, then add lines for six minutes. Feel free to share!

Choose from the following:
I feel...
I want...
I don’t want…
My life is…
I wish I could…
In my perfect world…
Today I am…

Six Sentence Sunday - Love Knot

The breath from her words bounced off his lips back onto her. His lips were so close the heat radiated from them. Her arms locked around his neck as she stood on her tip toes. His mouth set fire to her body as he placed soft kisses along her jaw. Wonderful sensations swirled in her body as he enveloped her in his embrace. Soft lips brushed over hers then he gazed at her with a smirk on his face.

BLURB:
Long Description: Mimi Cates is an artist who lives over the coffee shop she owns.  Content with her life, she won't allow herself to become to close with her sexy, wanderlust neighbor, despite what her heart tells her.

Robbie MacDonnell never wanted to stay in one place very long.  His job as a scientist allowed him to travel the world without ever making permanent ties to anyone.  However, when he finds the perfect person and the perfect place to settle down, he's not sure if she'll believe him.
 ************************************************


Not a sweet kiss of friendship but an obvious promise of decadent pleasure. With a tilt of his head, Robbie took the kiss deeper. The scent of milled soap and masculinity made her heady. Robbie slowly pulled away, tugging at her lip with his teeth as he did.

"Ah... welcome home?" She choked on the words.

"Aye, I'm happy to be home." The deep sultry voice slid down her body to her feet.

"Easy big boy. What's with the kiss? Sheesh!"

"What's with the kiss?  You're brutal, woman." He grabbed his heart and faked feigned a heart attack.  " You didn't like it?" 

"You are such a goofball.   It's just... you've never done that before."

"I've kissed you before.  Many times actually."

"But not like that."

"That?  Was something wrong with my kiss?"

"No, not at all.  Just different."

" I want to do it more often." He stepped in front of her and again pulled her against his hard body.  "If that is okay."

 "Ah... no complaints here."

 The breath from her words bounced off his lips back onto her. His lips were so close she heat radiated from them.  Her arms locked around his neck as she stood on her tip toes. His mouth set fire to her body as he placed soft kisses along her jaw.  Wonderful sensations swirled in her body as he enveloped her in his embrace.  Soft lips brushed over hers then he gazed at her with a smirk on his face.
