Pondering with a Purpose - Swing

Welcome to Pondering with a Purpose -

 This is my weekly hop where I post a prompt and you get to write to it on your - come back here and add it to my linky and then we all get to go read what you wrote!

I started Pondering with a Purpose because -- simply put -- I am a writer - - that is what I do (I just can't help myself)! And although I love following all the hops, I wanted to see if I could bring out some creativity in not only myself, but some of my blogger friends as well.

The rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in my sidebar)

2. Look at the week's prompt

3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.

4. Come back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list below.

5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.

6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

Today's prompt is: Swing

Do you have a swing in your step? Or swing your hips when you walk?

It is summertime so it is the perfect time to see children outside on the swing. Did you, or your children, ever wrap yourself up in the swing and then let it twist out really fast? Thinking back on it makes me want to puke!!!

I haven't looked it up...but I would have to say that swing in the motion of moving back and forth.....

So why is a rope hanging out over a river or creek a 'rope swing' - it only goes one way, and if you don't let go you will be singing a different song :(

I'd love to read you think of with this word. Link up, comment or better yet... both!

Today's prompt is: Slip


Okay, I have to say that this word has so many meanings to me that I'm not sure why I didn't use it earlier.....

First, I put a slip on every day under my skirts.... that seems to be a fad that is popular in my generation but not in the current one.....
And then of course that brings to mind the hoop slips from the 1800's that made a dress impossible to sit in!

and then of course there is the slip knot for anyone familiar with crochet... that is how you start the work!

But there is also the slip of the tongue
or when you slip and fall.....

any others you can think of????


I'd love to read your comments, or your linked up post... or better yet... both!

Today's prompt is: Pill

I tossed around so many words this week but have to say that this one is my favorite.

When I thought of it I really did not think of it as medicine, but rather the attitude certain people have and we say they are acting like a pill.... now seriously what do a pill act like?

And then I thought of the pill box... there are so many varieties but I have to say that I really like this one:


And I seem to remember a pill hat??? or am I imagining things?

To me a pill looks like this: 

And this is a capsule  


but many people call both of them a pill....

How about you... can you think of more meanings for this word.... and please don't forget my absolute favorite.... The Pill Bug!  

I would love to read your comments or read your linked up post...or better yet... both!

Today's prompt is: Roll

I was watching the news and saw a big rig literally roll over during a tornado. Not only was I stunned, but it made me realize that Roll have multiple meanings.

Many people eat a roll with their dinner at night or they make a sandwich on a roll. You roll up a sleeping bag and sometimes you sleep on a bed roll.

Or how about to roll a ball, or marble, or coin.

And then there is the hair roll ...

But what I don't get.... why are they hamburger rolls and hot dog buns?

Would love to read your comment or your linked up post... or better yet... both!
