Your Daily Theme for 3/12/2013

Silence

When conversation runs dry, people turn to habits to fill the silence. Talking about the weather is a humorous, aware way to fill the silence. How do you handle silence? Do you check your phone? Do you laugh to yourself and recall a joke you heard? Do you smile? Frown? Bring up a piece of "did you hear" news? Avoid eye contact? Touch your hair?

Write a short scene that begins just after conversation runs dry and ends right when the conversation begins again.

Love Song

Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes

Love Song for Lucinda by Langston Hughes

Love
Is a ripe plum
Growing on a purple tree.
Taste it once
And the spell of its enchantment
Will never let you be.

Love
Is a bright star
Glowing in far Southern skies.
Look too hard
And its burning flame
Will always hurt your eyes.

Love
Is a high mountain
Stark in a windy sky.
If you
Would never lose your breath
Do not climb too high.
