DP Daily Prompt: Rare Medium

Describe a typical day in your life– but do it in a form or in a medium you’ve rarely –if ever –used before. If you’re a photo blogger write a poem.If you’re a poet, write an open letter. If you’re a travel blogger, write a rant. (these are all examples —choose whatever form you feel like trying out!)

Day before yesterday was a fine day,the sun was shining the birds were chirping, the whole city came alive, the past several days it was cold,rainy, windy, it was as if Nature has decided to punish us for what we do to it on a daily basis.

However that day it was superb, I ventured to take my camera and capture this awesome day in my photographs. I’m not a photographer, I haven’t learned the technical aspects of photography, why this is so, is because I didn’t invest any time learning this craft. To me it is look through the camera lens and click, this is what I did, my performance was shabby, I am embarrassed to admit. The tree looked like a stump, the birds were not recognizable.

I tried again a second time, this time my concentration was on houses, let me tell you they looked hideous, I packed my bag and came home, my attempt to take pictures made me realize, I have to spend some quality time learning how to take awesome pictures.

365 days Writing Prompt: Shape up or ship out

Write a letter to the personality trait you like least, convincing it to shape up or ship out. Be as threatening , theatrical , or thoroughly charming as is necessary to get the job done.

D ear Cynic,

You have a lot going for you, you are smart,educated and have a beautiful family that some wish they could have,yet your dealings with the very people who helped you  reach where you are is deplorable. You are selfish, conceited these are traits I absolutely abhor, you think you’ll always have this life and you don’t have to make concessions for the people who are always there when you need them.

Let me bring you back to reality,there will come a time when all these people whom you are treating badly, will leave you and nothing you say or do will make any difference, they’d be so fed up they’ll even stay away from your shadow.

There is still time for you to mend your ways, you might still have some hope if you turn around and change for good. So either you make yourself presentable to others or my dear the clock is ticking, you may face a day when no one would come to your assistance.

Do not wait until that day!

Sincerely,

Well-wisher
