Prompt 183: Wheat

Wheat is this week's prompt. Here's the history of the word according to Word-Origins.com:

Wheat is etymologically the ‘white’ grain. The word comes from prehistoric Germanic *khvaitjaz (source also of German weizen, Dutch weit, Swedish hvete, and Danish hvede), which was derived from a variant of the base *khwīt-, source of English white. It alludes to the ‘white’ flour produced by grinding the grain.

Prompt 180: Dreams

Thanks to Isabel of In the Silence of the Day for this week's prompt, dreams. Here is her poem:


She wonders
what fate has planned for her,
what option to take,
her indecision, born from regret,
troubles her.

Yet,
in her dreams,
where zebras fly,
 fireflies play guitar,
and cats are guardian angels,
visions of her past
walk through the portals of time
to visit her.
