Go to Kabu Speaks
- Add a comment
- Go to Take a word and write a little story
A think a one-word prompt is pretty good exercise for writers, but I think it would have been a little more difficult had it been "corn starch" instead of powder!

As a matter of fact, there was an EditorMum on Blogit, and she had a Blog
called EditorMum's seeds or something like that, where some two or three words would feature in each blog, and I used to take those three words and string them together into a blog. But that was quite some time ago

Look at that, you've spun another one...
And gauging by the comments, it's got "wheels." You can drive it a long way. 
Write on!

What happens if we can't think of a word Kabu. You never thought of that now did you.
Can we take a powder. Can we use powder puff. No rain I suppose perhaps it has happened over and over one day it will be might be verdant again.
