I deleted a comment because it sounded like I was complaining: I wrote a Magpie story only to learn that the Mr Linky folks were out to lunch! :-) But these things happen. As usual, I welcome the chance to take part and I join wih willow in the hope they'll be up and operational soon.
My name is up there as Sarah. I'm 14 and would love to have someone read mine. I recognise I may have a long way to go but some inspiration, constructive criticism and support is all i really need.Thankyou, Sarah.
I am late to the party this week but I hope to make up for that with my biographical, humorous and painful poem about tomatoes. I love the flavor but loathe what it represents in my relationship… My poem is simply titled “The Great Tomato Mistake”. I look forward to reading everyone’s Tomato inspired Magpies.
better late than never. I just got back from a road trip and had no time to really write, blog, think....other than just kick back, sweat, and enjoy the trip. I hope you enjoy my post and I will be look at all of ya'll's work throughout the week as I recuperate!
Rhythmofmysoul, Magpie Tales is not a contest, but more of a creative writing exercise, open to all. A new photo prompt is posted every Thursday, so if you wait until tomorrow, you can have a fresh start. Welcome!

ReplyDeleteHi, willow, my tomato post is in and linked.
ReplyDeleteHi Willow. It's like homecoming for me.
ReplyDeleteOkay, mine's up! Nothing like squeaking in at the last minute!
ReplyDeleteI wish my tomatoes looked like that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bounty of fruit! We have had only one tomato so far, but it was delicious. Maybe we will have a late harvest.
ReplyDeleteSo many posts about the romance of the tomato. I guess I took it in a different direction.
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never...thanks for the challenge.
