Why your photos inspire me to write about nostalgic moments I do not know. After this one I had a strange sense of longing. I have never been a little girl nor knew my grandfather. Thanks for steering my imagination.
Have to say Willow, honestly I was not thrilled about this photo personally. Even considered skipping it, then pondered. Okay, I'm an idiot - it's awesome...it did it's job well in prompting me to do the work of thinking hard! I'm just lazy, I guess. THANK YOU for making me "ponder". - Dina
I ain't even gonna try to lie I had no idea what any of the items in this beautiful photo were..so I gave it an old southern try! Count me in and I'm looking forward to learning!
These prompts are wonderful. For M.19, I put a humorous edge to the blade pic.....! It's great to be trying my hand at poems and rhymes again after all these years!
Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the most unique photo prompts you give to us. In researching the Opinel knife I learned more than I could have imagined. It's always a learning experience with you!
I haven't written a poem in almost a decade. I am now a writer of Malay epics and folklore and I am just starting to compose Malay pantun...but I started writing when I was 11 by writing poetry and rhymes. Your invitation made me create a blog tonight in which I quickly typed in some of my long forgotten poems that I had to find by going through old boxes and crates.
Hey, all, you are most welcome! I'm thoroughly enjoying this just as much as you are. A tremendous thank you to all of you, who make Magpie Tales a huge success!! xox
I almost passed it up too, as someone up above said, but when I can back to it tonight, it hit me. Anything can stir a memory or provoke a thought. Thanks Willow. QMM
Wow willow, any more and we'll all have to spend a whole day reading them! Astonishingly, the Magpie community has stayed supportive and kind, even with so many new nestlings. I think we'll see a hundred posters sometime in the near future.

ReplyDeleteHave to say Willow, honestly I was not thrilled about this photo personally. Even considered skipping it, then pondered. Okay, I'm an idiot - it's awesome...it did it's job well in prompting me to do the work of thinking hard! I'm just lazy, I guess. THANK YOU for making me "ponder".

Thank you - for more than you can imagine.
Found you thanks to Chocolate Chip Waffle.
