  4. Typed that one out straight away, must have been waiting for your prompt, Tess.
    Not based on actual happenings, I am glad to say.

  5. Yes this one came on rather fast. I have to say the prompt was sheer perfection for what I am feeling right now and the poem well what can I say? I hope you like it anyway.

  37. Have to say the 'dryness' of this photo puzzle
    exemplifies my feeling on the jigsaw currently laid out on my table. Desert-, sawdust- I run screaming for the fridge- hopefully I can make it in time for next week! Thanks.

  38. Hi,
    This is what came to my mind when I saw the prompt...

  39. I wrote this one for another earthquake. It seems to fit the photo in both the shattered landscape, and the interconnectedness of our existence on this planet.

  40. A mistake in the URL I entered, WIllow, but the link takes readers to the intended post! Same theme as ~T~ above, and maybe one or two others.

  44. Like the tortoise and hare, me... Slow and steady but get there eventually! :)

  45. Some prompts I look at and it takes ages to decide what to write about but given the events of the last few months... floods, cyclones & earthquakes... I knew straight away what to write.

  46. My blog, Writerquake, is three years old today -- and your earthquakey-looking image tops my blogoversary post.

    Please come by for a piece of birthday quake (sorry, I just couldn't resist the pun!).

  47. Great pic prompt, thanks. I think my poem still needs some work, but I'm posting it anyway, before the link closes.

  48. Hi! I tracked you down from Writerquake's site. I will try to join in, but for the meantime, here's my reaction to the image you've posted.

    There is a black hole in the land
    And another in my door.
    There's a black hole in the window,
    And a black hole in the floor.
    They look like missing people -
    The one's who went away.
    They are ghosts, I guess.
    And I confess
    I see them every day.

  54. After finishing a poetry challenge yesterday, I was in dire need of new prompt. I have been here before, but managed to misplace the site address. This should be fun.
