Willow -- You always surprise me. What a great shot! I always write my submission before reading others so now I'm off to enjoy the creativity you foster in us all. BTW, there was an immediate decision for me, the empty, rumpled bed could only depict one thing--guess I'm a bit maudlin at heart!
I missed last week's Magpie and was determined to get one for this weeks. Why this poem inspired thoughts of an affair I don't really know. But hey I had fun with as I do all of Willow's Prompts. I look forward to reading everyones work this week. I am so behind on reading all the blogs and posts its not even funny. Thanks for all of your hard work Willow!!
Well I have had another go - this one is based on our mornings when holidaying on our bush block - sadly we don't have a lovely room like this one, just a very old caravan - but the mornings are just as spectacular.
These could be x-rated!
ReplyDeleteLove this one! Hope I can get it in before I go on holidays - wheels turning....
ReplyDeleteOkay, you did it this time. I have mine done, and you better bring a box of Kleenex with ya, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm in . . early this week.
ReplyDeleteWillow, you bring out the Shakespeare in me. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy theme is about the wide empty bed...

Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has to say about the bed.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so fast! I haven't even had a chance to think of an opening line!
ReplyDeleteMy first Magpie prose...
ReplyDeleteThree in a row, do I win a prize?
ReplyDeleteMy first too...
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea, this blog :)
It was bound to be 'domestic' wasn't it! Either that or pornographic and I'm to innocent to write that sort!
ReplyDeleteI finally got one in!
ReplyDeleteHeh. Heh. Willow, you know I can link damn near everything I've written!
ReplyDeleteMine is up.
ReplyDeleteI love Magpies!
Honestly, this time I thought I was dead in the water. Not a clue was coming until...
ReplyDeleteThanks Willow for pushing me into new realms of adventure.
I'm posting my first effort on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteSuch an atmospheric image! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteso many interpretations to choose from - love the way these magpies stretch my imagination
ReplyDeleteA great picture!
ReplyDeleteHi Willow . . Virgin player here with 2 entries (Happened to have some I prepared earlier! Ha, should have been a scout)
ReplyDeleteWelcome newbies!! We love you!!
ReplyDeleteJeff, I was thinking exactly that.

It seems we are an orderly crowd for this lovely prompt.
Thanks, Willow.
I love this little room pic! I could happily live there! Looking forward to another great selection!

Willow I think I have gone wrong somehow - this link seems to take me back to Tales #23 - what have I done wrong and can it be corrected?

ReplyDeleteFor mine, to really understand, ya might wish to go to the day before (Saturday), a very short one.
Thanks for letting me hang in here!
Willow,
ReplyDeleteI know I am double dipping...but I was undeniably inspired yet again by this magpie prompt. Hope you like it! :)
As I am ridden with guilt for linking old pieces, I've written a new one just for Magpie. Be up Tuesday!
