This post is a response to the weekly writing challenge from Trifecta. Not only is this a challenge, it’s a competition. One that comes with the rewards of triumph, increased feelings of self satisfaction and having your wondrous words featured on Trifecta. Join in and be judged, you know you have the words to kick some literary bootay.
This weekend’s challenge: core, mantle and crust
Crack through the crusty crisp. So clever, so frail. The middle of nowhere lies between very far away and just next door. Spotlight on the light, the one you could not leave behind.

“The middle of nowhere lies between very far away and just next door.” What a very true line (:

It just came out. But now that you say that, it does ring true.

I love the image of a light you couldn’t leave behind, a true love that comes with a lot of strings.

The truest I suppose, the internal light.

I love the line, “the one you could not leave behind”. What a poignant thought.

Instead of saying “dude, it’s complicated”, you wrote gorgeous words telling me why. Everything worked. well done.

Nice work! I like the middle of nowhere description..hadn’t thought about it, but it’s so true.

I love that y’all are pointing that out to me. It feels truer somehow.

I love it when the editors play! This is just gorgeous – it’s screaming to be read out loud. I really love the line about the middle of nowhere – I keep coming back to it and running it through my head. I will probably go to sleep thinking about it.

Maybe you’ll take it somewhere else. I love the idea of a thought inspiring another thought and so on,
