Sorry I've been gone so long. I've missed writing with your prompts so much. Now that our eviction is complete, and things are organized, I'm freed to write once more. Hope you enjoy...
My first thought was from that old Saturday Night Live skit with Steve Martin "What the hell is that?... Well, Take my picture with it!!" Great prompt!
A very happy new year to all!! I really liked this prompt, Tess! Very inspiring, actually.. although I am not entirely sure if my response "fits in" with the picture.. :)
In any case, happy reading.. while I go off to snooze a bit, and then wake up to read y'all!!!
This is another great prompt. I found it hard to come up with words for it, because I have no idea what the object is. But I liked the challenge. And that is one very interesting object. What is it?
I was printing some posts for a friend, who lives in the dark ages (no internet), when I realized I had been thanking you for hosting this great site, but using the name "Willow". I know you live at Willow Manor but that's not your name. I am sorry I was so rude to not pay attention, to be so thoughtless.
I won't repeat the mistake and thanks truly for hosting Magpie Tales.
Myrna, no need to apologize at all! I've been known as "Willow" for nearly three years in the blog world, and only recently have posted my actual name. Since my poetry is being published, I wanted to have my real name attached.
Please feel free to call me "Willow", since I answer to both!
This one just flew out of the fingers...
ReplyDeleteThanks Tess.
As usual you give us a very inspiring image to work with, Tess. I bet there will be quite a number of different takes on this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tess! Just as Andreas said, I believe this one will be open to many different interpretations. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHi Tess, glad to be back again, puzzling over a new magpie.
ReplyDeletePuzzling is the word this time.
Thanks Tess, wonderful prompt, once again, inspiring an amazing array of fantastic writes by all.
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been gone so long. I've missed writing with your prompts so much. Now that our eviction is complete, and things are organized, I'm freed to write once more. Hope you enjoy...
ReplyDeleteOne thing though, what is it?
ReplyDeleteTess,
ReplyDeleteYou always come with perfect prompts that evoked varied responses. It makes it all the more enjoyable!
very inspiring prompt! I am loving the varied takes on this one! Thanks Tess!
ReplyDeleteHee-hee. Hi, Willow.
ReplyDeleteWhen the prompt bewilders and inspiration fails - the limerist comes to the fore!
ReplyDeleteThis one was just waiting for me!!Thanks...
ReplyDeleteMy fingers loved imagining the feel of this one!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a while, glad to be back at Magpie Tales. :-)
ReplyDeleteI usually come up with gruesome fiction, so I've tried to come up with something pleasant! :O)
ReplyDeleteMine is very basic!
ReplyDeleteAs always, thanks for the photo Tess.
Thanks Tess...you continue to inspire! Funny how some are super difficult and some go down on the page easy as pie... Happy New Year to all!
ReplyDeleteMy caribiner broke as I fell 1,000 feet down the mountain.......
ReplyDeleteHey--it was the first thought/sight thatpopped into my head when I saw it!
That's "repelling" though! ar ar
John
An interesting prompt, Tess, thank you. :-)
ReplyDeletei'm having a hard time writing this one. haha. hope you like it. happy new year everyone!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing Image....tried to solve the puzzle
ReplyDeleteAha! Number 42, am I? The answer to life, the universe and everything...
ReplyDeleteHmm came quite back in the list :)
ReplyDeleteWould someone tell me what that blue object is, the prompt for the week? Am I the only one that can't tell what it is?
ReplyDeleteI rolled mine in with one shot since I was so late! thanks for the prompt!
ReplyDeleteA short one, this week.
ReplyDeleteThe possibilities were endless on this one. I own that little wooden statue. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThis one was tougher for me! I like the challenge though.
ReplyDeleteThis was a challenge.....
ReplyDeleteIn the palm of your hand...
ReplyDeleteHi Tess. Lines out of curves for me, I'm afraid!
ReplyDeleteThe eight figured symbolically for me. Can't wait to read what everyone else has!
ReplyDeleteAs we have in the past, we added "extra ingredients to the base stock".
ReplyDeleteI've no clue what it might be, but I will have something to say about it in a day or so...a new year and new challenge...
ReplyDeleteWell, finally...got one!
ReplyDeleteThe enigmatic nature of the prompt brought an equally enigmatic response
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was from that old Saturday Night Live skit with Steve Martin "What the hell is that?... Well, Take my picture with it!!"
ReplyDeleteGreat prompt!
Really interesting image, Tess. Thank you (just under the wire, as usual).
ReplyDeleteA very happy new year to all!!
ReplyDeleteI really liked this prompt, Tess! Very inspiring, actually.. although I am not entirely sure if my response "fits in" with the picture.. :)
In any case, happy reading.. while I go off to snooze a bit, and then wake up to read y'all!!!

ReplyDeleteThe old grey matter wouldn't work on this one yesterday, but today something came. Thanks again - I couldn't have done it without you!
ReplyDeleteI have just posted my very first Magpie! If I am too late I will understand. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis was a tough one.
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious really! (No it isn't!) Yes it is! (No it . . . oh forget it)
ReplyDeleteThis one was a monkey puzzle.
ReplyDeleteShould be interesting
ReplyDeleteInspirational...
ReplyDeleteImage reminded me strongly of Kurt Vonnegut's eulogy of Allen Ginsberg - I'll tell you about it sometime
ReplyDeleteThis one was challenging but fun. Thanks Tess.
ReplyDeleteHere's my first entry to Magpie's prompt:

I have no idea what that thing is!! Haha!
Thanks to Wanjiku for telling me about this today.
Looks like fun!
ReplyDelete"Not an Option' is up.
ReplyDeleteI put mine up again as Cad told me that my Mr Linky Link wasn't working.! Maybe this time!
ReplyDeleteI am sincerely sorry Tess Kincaid.

Thanks, Tess, for such an enigmatic prompt;and for this place which brings such a varied bunch of wordworkers together.
ReplyDeleteMyrna, no need to apologize at all! I've been known as "Willow" for nearly three years in the blog world, and only recently have posted my actual name. Since my poetry is being published, I wanted to have my real name attached.
ReplyDeletePlease feel free to call me "Willow", since I answer to both!
I had trouble with this one!
