Don't Panic Picture Prompt: April 12th

I know.  I'm really late.  I have a good reason this time.  I was super sick all weekend.  While I am feeling better now, I'm just getting caught back up on things.  So, this week I'll extend the deadline until Monday, April 18th at 6:00 pm CST.  I should be able to get the next prompt up around then.  Same rules apply.  1-500 words inspired by the picture below.  Add your blog links or your work in the comments below.  Thanks for not panicking!

That Smell

Trifecta gave us a fun 33 word weekend challenge:

We want you to give us a 33-word example of personification.  Wait.  What?  You forget what that is?  It's the practice of attaching human traits and characteristics with inanimate objects, phenomena and animals (http://literary-devices.com).

I don't think I have to explain what I am personifying here...

 

Reaching out

Tickling your nose

Knowing it will

Slap your face

When you look.

Could someone tell me

How something so small

Could produce that smell

 

Do I have to change your diaper?

Suspicion

Trifecta's 33 word prompt for the weekend was to choose one of the pictures provided and write 33 words inspired by it.  Here's the picture I chose and what it inspired:

Suspicion. 

Veiled joy. 

What do you want?  What are you going to do to me? 

Peace in poverty. 

Worry in wealth. 

 How are you going to change my world?  For better or worse?
