First Five Fragments for Friday

Your weekly offering of writing/art prompts:

1. Better than a Rorschach test? I want to try making my own crystals with ink blots of assorted colors on wet paper that I leave outside in the sub-zero air.

2. Contemplation of the many things that can be shattered: plates, windows, confidences, vessels, hearts…

3. Once, a long time ago, I left a nightshirt that smelled of my then-boyfriend unwashed for months. It was my last connection to him.

4. Wind whistling through white pines – good. Wind whistling through the seemingly closed car window on a sub-zero winter day – bad.

5. Clean flannel sheets on bare skin while snow falls in the back yard.

What spins a story for you today?

Happy Friday.
