They called me up to the stage
Asked me to say a few words
I wasn’t expecting it
I didn’t plan for it
I didn’t have any prepared remarks
It was unscripted
Ad-libbed
Completely offhand
Extemporaneous
From the hip
Totally spontaneous
My impromptu speech
Got a standing ovation

She was radiant
She was luminous
All eyes were on her
Mesmerized by her nakedness

I have a weekly prompt called “Fandango’s Provocative Question.” I pose questions for bloggers to consider.
The dictionary definition of provocative is to cause annoyance or anger, or to arouse sexual desire or interest.
But that is not the purpose of my prompt. It’s to get the creative juices flowing and to motivate bloggers to express their opinions on thought provoking questions.
