  10. Hi Willow,

    I guess mine is a simple, straight forward approach to the prompt.

  13. I followed bkm's link here. It's synchronicity, because I had planned a poem about fire even before I saw the link.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Okay, Suz, Dr. Willow fixed your linky. :)

  20. this was sooooooooooo fun-had to add an
    addendum to my original post! Thanks Willow!

  21. Okay, so mine's about a bird. But hey, this is "Magpie" tales, after all, and it is likely that a magpie could eat a phoenix for lunch. ha!

  22. Willow, I need help...I STILL do not know if I did this correctly, and if it's the type stuff we do here. And if my "timeing" is right, or should I wait until Tuesday?

    And is it OK to make it also a "55" thingy?
    Sorry, sometimes, rules make very little sense to me...I still run holding scissors by the handles. (But I don't run very far--get winded--grin!

    BUT IT IS FUN NONETHELESS!!!! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete

  26. I've enjoyed this week's one! So much I've stupidly posted it in both of my blogs. Apologies, Willow! Gee, all it takes is a couple of weeks off and I'm losing it. I'll be back in the swing in no time!

  35. I'm in - I worked so hard to avoid the obvious conflagrations that I'm not sure mine is even pertinent :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ooops- I came across the picture on Steveroni's page- any way, I got a 55 out of it- a bit late-
    but it was fun thanks! ( I have to make sure I get my url right- I keep seeing 2 different ones!
    then I can do the linky thing)

  37. I'm still trying to catch up with everyone's efforts for the past month! The story for this one crept up on my when I had to go for a gentleman's visit at 4am. (Way too much information! (-:)

  39. so busy this weekend...but finally had time this afternoon to tap this one out. Hope you like it...my 21 year old son was watching The God-Father II, while I wrote this one...thus the inspiration came from more than one source.

  40. Hi Willow, Mine's gone in twice. The first time it went back to the pencils again, but I think one of them goes to Fire. Could you please delete the one that's incorrect? Many thanks.

    Hugs, Sue :)

  41. I used to walk huge stairs every day. Mean stairs. I did not like them. At the top of each stair was a fire hose.

  47. Hi all

    My first thought when I saw the image, is they looked like prayer wheels...so perhaps my poem may differ from others!

    ReplyDelete
