This week – the prompt is T is for Track.
As a noun, there’s track as in a footpath, a track as in a running track, or track as in an individual song on an LP or CD.
Animals leave tracks through the woods or in the snow. Railway tracks criss-cross the country, and it used to be said that some people were born the wrong side of the tracks.
If you don’t have curtain poles, you probably have curtain tracks.
We have track and field events. We used to have 8-track cartridges.
You can stop someone in their tracks, be on the right track or the wrong track. You can cover your tracks, keep track of something or lose track of it. And you can be on track.
Cars have their wheel alignment and tracking adjusted.
As a verb, it can mean to follow someone (tracking a criminal).
Plenty to go at. So, it’s the usual stuff – who, what, where, when, how and why?
Let’s hear your stories, poems, pieces of descriptive writing – don’t forget it doesn’t have to be the complete story – prompted by the word ‘track’. But it is only a prompt. If you’ve got something else that you’re burning to write about, then write about that.
Send them to louise.hulland@bbc.co.uk and we’ll review them when we next meet on the radio.
