Connections to Story

What if you happened upon a bus stop and noticed a bouquet of flowers?  As you walked to the corner, your eye wandered toward three hearts painted on a mail collection box.  Where might your writing take you from there? 

Ask a few questions to propel a story or poem.  Did he leave the flowers for her and create a pathway to a surprise?  In anger, did she leave his flowers at the bus stop's bench?  Does someone leave the bouquet each day for a needy passenger?


Make connections of your own as you observe the events of the day.
