I am trying to rack my brain here as to what to write. I could whitewash the truth and tell you I’m on an adventure, searching for the lost sea unicorn. No, wait! It’s whitewashing the truth. Whitewashing the truth. I’m not even getting the prompts right.
There’s Martin Luther King Jr., but no Martin Luther King to look up. There’s a Martin Luther.
To remember the difference between there and their; I like to think there goes with here. It’s here and there. It’s neither here nor there.
Their just belongs to someone. Is this towel yours? No it’s theirs; the couple sitting next to us!
Like I said, I am totally sucking at this week’s prompts….I don’t know why I’m stumbling, but I am….
I think Lynn submitted the picture…And I have no idea with the rest. To tell the truth, every time I hear whitewash, I think of Tom Sawyer…

First? I feel ya this week. I have been trying to figure out how to put Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy into a poem. That's tough! But you got all the prompts so it's all good.... :D
Told ya! Anything for the points. :) I have had more than a few blogos that are similar to this one.

I'm stumped this week too but you did good with getting the prompts in. LOL! That's the important part, getting the points :) Good job!! -Leta
Yay! First! It was a tough week this week, but I have some great quotes now! :)
DJ
Thinking back...I believe I may have written like this a few times!
DJ
Thank you. Some days it looks like poetry, other days it looks like short story or storytelling. And this week was just completely random! LOL!
DJ
tough one this week , only thoughts were political
Yes...You're right about that! I don't discuss politics or religion. I like to keep the peace! :)
DJ
It was an oddly matched set of prompts
When in doubt, write anyway? But of course!!! 8 points, Earthling!! :)

Good luck with that sea unicorn.
Yeah another hard topic this week but you did good.
This week's topic and prompts were most definitely quite the challenge. I'm with you -- Tom Sawyer is always the first thing that the term "whitewash" always brings to my mind too.
Definitely! I'm not really into political subjects!
DJ
Of course! I love the weekly prompts anyway! It always gives me food for thought! :)
DJ
Thank you so much! I've been trying for centuries to capture one! ;)
DJ
