This post is for the writing challenge below:
This weekend, we are revisiting a prompt we’ve done before. We are giving you three words and asking that you add another 33 to them to make a complete 36-word response. You may use the words in any order you choose.
Our three words are:
remember
rain
rebellion
Now you give us yours.
You call it rebellion
To me it is merely survival
I try to forget
But will always remember
Let me wash it away
Take away my pain
I sit here waiting praying
Please let it rain
Charming South 
you sound parched – well done. You made me feel your pain.
Thank you Barbara! This is my first entry for Trifecta. I love the writing exercises and meeting fellow bloggers. Thanks for visiting and commenting. Please come again!
He forgot what a cleansing rain felt like. Sun roasted, the tortured form hung from the cross. Focused on the reason he sought to exist, the explanation for life and blood. Hope, Faith, Love, Sacrifice, Rebellion.
Beautiful! Click on Trifecta link and submit your writing. You got MY VOTE! 🙂 I figure a writing challenge is good exercise and a wonderful way to meet bloggers from other blog sites. I have looked at several of the sites but I think Trifecta and yeahwrite are a good match for me. Check them out!
Sorry about that. I thought this was your contest. Thanks for not busting my chops too much. Ha Ha.
I promise you I will never ever ever bust your chops! You post is the most eloquent piece of writing ever posted on my blog! Love it that you would contribute if I should ever host a contest! Good idea….You NEVER know 🙂
I tried to get signed in to the trifecta site but couldnt get it to recognize me. I will try again in the future. The site seems like a fun place. I love a challenge especially when it can go quick like that one. Thanks for promoting the site.
By the way, if you are not busting my chops then you are the only person in the world not doing it. Dont be scared. All is well with my chops, bust away.
Hah! Thanks for the invite! Hope this finds you well and wishing you a wonderful week 🙂
Very creative and beautifully written!

Thank you so much for coming by and commenting. Your writing is amazing. And … Really??? You gave up sports for lent? Now that is dedication my friend, dedication!
Yeah! Well giving up sports for lent has not been an easy choice! But ask my wife and see how much she’s enjoyed it! Lol you’d be surprised just how hard it is to avoid any sports! I’ll definitely be posting about my experience when it’s over which will be soon! Wish me luck!
Well, having just come from your comment on my blog, I can definitely say welcome!! Trifecta is a great exercise and you have used it well.
As a songwriter too, I enjoyed the flow of this piece. Your word choice puts me in mind of a song. Keep up the good work!

So sad. Rain can wash away some of the pain.
Thank you Vanessa. I really appreciate you reading and commenting. Yes, sometimes rain is truly needed.
Rains do appear to have that effect of washing away pain, guilt.
Thank you Rachel. I agree, there is something about rain and pain.
Rain does help when it’s merely survival. Nice rhythmic poem.
Thank you for reading and the nice feedback!
This is a wonderful entry. There’s a universal pain in it! 😀

Your entry is amazing! I got so excited reading it that I mistakenly hit the post comment button too soo! Haha sorry I too am new to blogging. I am loving it. Quickly becoming addicted 🙂 There are so many great posts to be read!
I feel the seeds planted. The earth whispery brown, light, ready to blow away, dry. A farmer’s lament.
I love how the rain will ease the pain where in other posts it will lead to rebellion.
Thank you Kelly! I have noticed the same idea when reading other posts. I have absolutely loved reading the works of so many talented creative writers! Thank you for stopping by and commenting 🙂
