I really like this picture. I was struck by the fact that the key hole itself looks utterly untouched, unused, yet the area surrounding it looks scraped by the attempts of keys.
I can see it fine! :) I have added to my cliff hanger from last week using this week's inspiration. What a great prompt Willow this couldn't have fit better for fitting into and directing my story line. Thanks for another great challenge!
willow, i finally found the inspiration i needed to write and post again. i thoroughly enjoyed this challenge and plan to become a regular participant. thanks!!!
Sorry I had to link twice because I don't read directions. I just plow forward ever in fear of risking too much reflection and delaying my resolve to participate! I linked before I wrote the poem, then I linked after!
Well, I got the hang of the procedures. Now, all I need is some writing talent...any for sale. I am #47...and brought in the LOCK to kick a three-pointer at the game-end.
***Willow: I'm having linking problems again -- my laptop has a glitch in it somewhere and messes up my posts from time to time. My first link is now defunct, the last link works. Thanks!! :)
I almost didn't do this one cause I had no idea what to write about...until this morning and it came in five min. flat. Glad i made it, didn't want to feel like a cop-out.
I really like this picture.
ReplyDeleteI was struck by the fact that the key hole itself looks utterly untouched, unused, yet the area surrounding it looks scraped by the attempts of keys.
Am I the only one that doesn't get a photo when coming to this link? Just the text, "Happy Writing, my friends!" but no photo.
ReplyDeletei wrote quickly the first thing that came in mind...
ReplyDeleteIt looks fine on my end, Junk Thief.
ReplyDeleteHey, all, can you see the photo?
This is a difficult one, willow :( HAHAHA
ReplyDeleteSorry, willow, another tale of old, with a bit of spice. I am really enjoying these challenges.
ReplyDeleteI can see it, but it loads slowly .
ReplyDeleteHey Willow, this one was fun...and I can see the photo...Thank you again for another wonderful prompt! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh so challenging .... we Magpies love a good one!
ReplyDeleteSeen very tiny on your Facebook stream, it looked like an exotic eye, or maybe a ring. I have already decided I want to wear it on my middle finger.
ReplyDeletetook a week off but i am back...
ReplyDeleteI'm in . . . but barely.
ReplyDeleteVery short and sweet. Interpet at your leisure. Gone for the week.
ReplyDeleteAnother short entry.
ReplyDeleteA haiku of my thought when I saw the photo...
ReplyDeleteJust a little something that came to mind.
ReplyDeletegot it done,
ReplyDeletehave fun reading!
:)
thanks a lot for the feedback!
I'm moving this week, so I had to post an older one with an admittedly weak "key" connection.
ReplyDeleteAh, well...
I can see it fine! :)
ReplyDeleteI have added to my cliff hanger from last week using this week's inspiration. What a great prompt Willow this couldn't have fit better for fitting into and directing my story line. Thanks for another great challenge!
a quickie after a long day at work. i needed a release--this was a good one. couldn't help but see an eye in this pic
ReplyDeleteHi Willow
ReplyDeleteLove this prompt. I'm sure there are many stories to be told on this one.
My sad little entry is up and in ......
ReplyDeleteI kept it short this time
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the old lock tells a story of its own!
ReplyDeletewillow, i finally found the inspiration i needed to write and post again. i thoroughly enjoyed this challenge and plan to become a regular participant. thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder this so popular. Great fun!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a lock that has character. All the scars from missed attempts, Hummmmmmm! I think I see a story on the horizon, we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to go around and see what everyone else is dreaming up.
Just throw away the keys....
ReplyDeleteThat was fun, thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis is fun! I just cooked myself a nice tale! Took me long enough to pop an idea... Thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhen I coaxed my muse off the sofa last night, she was in a dark and pensive mood.
ReplyDeleteThis is a much more challenging picture, I must say. But it was fun, nevertheless.

where do you find all these clever items? Or are you a collector like me?
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous prompt, Willow.
ReplyDeleteLet me see how to do this...have faith I will catch on (I might be saying this to myself!)

ReplyDeleteThia IS fun--

ReplyDeleteI'm late! I'm late! (for a very important magpie!) ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnother emotional story of friendship. Hope you guys like it :-)

No problem, Terresa, I removed your first link! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's fine, Cynthia, and welcome! (I only see one link for you so far)
What hides behind that locked door?
ReplyDeleteI'm up with my second Magpie Tale contribution. This one is also a 55!
ReplyDeletemy second Magpie Tale, too! I love this pic. Thanks!
ReplyDeletePhoto came up for me..and thanks again for an interesting challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photo prompt. It's a very good photo.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first Magpie post.....I am no longer a virgin.
ReplyDeleteThanks Caterine ^^ for introducing me to Magpie Tales. I came, I saw, I gave it a go..though I think mine turned sounding a little more like erotica.
ReplyDeleteOopsie .... I meant Catherine.
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly! This is my 1st too, such fun! Thanks Magpie Tales, I'll be back...
ReplyDeleteI was blocked, but forced into something today!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing prompt, although I was stymied for quite some time. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteUmmmm not sure what to comment. My humble offering is now up and ready.
ReplyDeleteit took me a while to get up the courage to post my 2nd one for this prompt...it is quite personal...but it was very cathartic...
ReplyDeleteThere are so many voices here that I dare not read any until my post is done.
ReplyDeleteI have used a character I wrote of two weeks ago, Hattie.
Very evocative prompt. There are so many directions to take it: it all depends on what's on the other side of the door.
ReplyDeletelovely prompt -- it went three different directions before it settled in. lol On the bright side, I've got two more things to work with...
ReplyDeleteThis might be my favorite prompt in my short magpie career. Thanks! Keep 'em coming.
ReplyDeleteNice pic -- I had fun writing this. Thanks.
ReplyDeletehello... fell in love with the foto, so glad i could participate.... waiting for the bus
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Trying haiku for the first time since grade eight. Look out! (Or hang in!)
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying this group. Your support has meant a lot to me!
ReplyDeleteYiipppeee.. my 3rd Magpie, and I am in love with it!!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys rock!!!
Here is mine for this week...
Have a lovely week ahead!!!
Mine is up--just under the wire. Tried something different...
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I almost didn't do this one cause I had no idea what to write about...until this morning and it came in five min. flat. Glad i made it, didn't want to feel like a cop-out.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping I'm not too late? Just posted mine, I'll be around to visit everyone else!
ReplyDeleteI wrote mine a little late this week...it's been a long week. I can't get it to link, probably because I'm too late, but it's up.
ReplyDeleteoops, nevermind...it linked twice.
ReplyDeleteI see it fine Willow, just slow in getting my fingers to the keys. It reminds me of an eye too.
ReplyDeleteBeen reading Kat's book.
