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.
Apologies, Tess, but mr linky link doesnt like my link, apparently it is not linking to me, I dont want to mess up again, just hope if anyone wants to read mine, the blog homepage message will come up.
My mind went crazy on this prompt-too many ideas! Finally narrowed it down and produced this. Hope you like. http://lolamousedroppings.blogspot.com/2011/02/grief.html
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This looks like a great prompt, Tess. I haven't participated in awhile but I will try to do so!
ReplyDeletethis reflects several meanings.. very interesting prompt.
ReplyDeleteFantastic prompt Tess, can't wait to work on this one! Looks enticing.
ReplyDeleteTyped that one out straight away, must have been waiting for your prompt, Tess.
ReplyDeleteNot based on actual happenings, I am glad to say.
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.
ReplyDeleteI just read yours! Very nice...
ReplyDeleteApologies, Tess, but mr linky link doesnt like my link, apparently it is not linking to me, I dont want to mess up again, just hope if anyone wants to read mine, the blog homepage message will come up.
ReplyDeleteBrigid, no problem. I reentered your link and it works, at least on my end now. :)
ReplyDeleteTess my second post (5) was a mistake it was from last week. I did not mean to add it. Sorry...
ReplyDeleteTess, you are a genius! Wonderful prompt!
ReplyDeleteWhew! Hard one this time, although my contribution is rather simple.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Life's a daily jigsaw with ethereal possibilities.

ReplyDeleteOkay, Kristen, no problem, I removed your entry #5. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat prompt. Didn't know what it would bring until I committed to write. I love following that process. Thanks Willow.
ReplyDeleteLove this one...bkm
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of the present earthquake in NZ.
ReplyDeletehummmm - wrote it but false alarm.
ReplyDeleteLots of interesting interpretations of your photography...
ReplyDeleteI'm going with the tree theme, but not the puzzle theme. Great prompt!
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a new poem, but it is one that has found a missing piece, in the prompt.
ReplyDeleteEverything puzzles me these days..so thanks!
ReplyDeleteFirst time I saw the prompt the thought and then the words were there. Yours is magnificent of course. Thanks Tess for leading the way. Blessings
ReplyDeleteQMM

Love the jigsaw pieces this week...
ReplyDeleteUsually my mind can just run, but with this picture it felt caught in the wind.
ReplyDeleteI'm posted, and at #54, too, which is also my age! A lovely little bit of serendipity.
ReplyDeleteI'm posted too. Good prompt - so good meant too many flashing thoughts so had to narrow it down to something simple.
ReplyDeleteI added my 2 cents worth. Thank you!
ReplyDeletelovely picture, tried this one...not sure if its worth posting here...
ReplyDeleteSorry for the multiple posts earlier, but I got screwed up on the previous links. Hopefully I got it right finally. Great prompt as always.
ReplyDeleteSorry Tess, I did the link yesterday but forgot to leave a comment.

ReplyDeleteexemplifies 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.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is what came to my mind when I saw the prompt...
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.
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteMine has no basis in reality!
ReplyDeletesigh... i just keep falling more and more in love with writing and this writing community. thanks Tess and to all the writers for such a cool space...
ReplyDeleteOh I am in a rowdy mood tonight!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tess, as always!!
This prompt is a CERTAIN food for thought (and poetry), Tess.. looking forward to reading as many magpies as possible!!!
ReplyDeleteJust pulled the pieces together...
ReplyDeleteLike the tortoise and hare, me... Slow and steady but get there eventually! :)
ReplyDeleteSome 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.
ReplyDeleteMy blog, Writerquake, is three years old today -- and your earthquakey-looking image tops my blogoversary post.
ReplyDeletePlease come by for a piece of birthday quake (sorry, I just couldn't resist the pun!).
Great pic prompt, thanks. I think my poem still needs some work, but I'm posting it anyway, before the link closes.
ReplyDeleteHi! 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.
ReplyDeleteThere 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.
This prompt will bring out a cracking variety...!
ReplyDeleteTess,
ReplyDeleteThings combined, but took a while to find the right words.
Trulyfool
Great prompt! My first participation here!
ReplyDeleteVery nice prompt to work with. Thanks Tess
ReplyDeleteLoved this prompt!!! I think I created a story I will be going back to for some time. I'm loving the characters and the possibilities. Thank you!!!
