Monday Muses Writing Prompts
I recently went on a bike ride with my family. I
wasn’t feeling so well, but I thought it would be good to get out of the house
for a while. So I threw on a sweater and my sister, my mom, my dad, and I all
headed out the door on our bikes. We rode down to Pier 6.
The weather was beautiful. The sun shined down and
was a light breeze. People crowded the park, pushing strollers and riding
bikes. As we rode deeper into the park, something caught my eye. There was this
huge area of grass in the center. It was full of kids running around and
parents chatting on the grass. Some had brought snacks. I could see little
goldfish scattered around.
There was one scene that I found very inspiring.
There was a father and his daughter sitting on the grass, their heads tipped up
to the sky. The girl pointed at a cloud and her father looked up to admire it.
He was leaning against their stroller, both their feet outstretched. They were
eating lunch on a makeshift table- a skateboard flipped upside down. The little
girl reached for her sandwich and her father placed a napkin on her lap.
I must have stared at them for a while, because my
family had already taken off down the road. I hopped back on my bike and
peddled after them. The father and daughter were seared into my brain for the rest
of the day. I don’t exactly know why it appealed to me so much besides the fact
that it was extremely cute. They inspired me because after I left them, I felt
happier and much better. I didn’t feel so sick anymore. They may have just been
two strangers eating lunch, but they made me feel full of joy.
I really like how in depth your moment is and how the beginning is a narrative. I like how simple the whole moment is and how that inspired you.
ReplyDeletei loved how instead of just telling the reader what you did, you made it into a story which i think was a good idea on your part. i also liked the part of the little girl and her dad, because it was a really cute moment; no wonder you were inspired. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI like how how your prompt didn't sound like a robot was speaking. I also liked that you explained why you found the dad and his daughter inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone. What I really liked was how you talked about how the daughter and the dad inspiring
