Mine's a little dark for me today. But, I like it. Sometimes kids just feel like that and imagine what it would be like to be the victor instead of the vanquished in the schoolyard hierarchy.
I managed to write a suitable poem - a triolet for this picture. Do look forward to everyones visits and fedback. I shall also check out some of your posts.
Wow yesterday when I looked at the prompt, which I love BTW, there were only about eight other Mags up. Today I am number 67! That is amazing the number of Magpies and such quick response. I have a lot of reading to do. I better get busy.
I was trying to write something about 'manhood showoffs' lately. And this was a coincidence! I request all of you to please read my post and type in ur frank opinion on that piece.. Thanks :)

Question about your Mister Linky's Magical links - how do you get your sign in box to stay visible? Did you get the most basic link, or did you get an upgrade - e.g., mine appears differently - and is less visible than yours - as at this link.
I've already scoured the Mister Linky's site, and maybe I'm blind or too tired to see why this is the case, but I believe it's hurting certain endeavors on my site - and I need to fix it.
Your help is appreciated, if it's forthcoming. If you're super-busy, I understand, and I'll read/write you soon, my friend.
I've had swords on my mind lately.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nudge Tess. A tail/tale for you.
ReplyDeleteOh and the magic of censorship! (not you)

ReplyDeleteMine's a little dark for me today. But, I like it. Sometimes kids just feel like that and imagine what it would be like to be the victor instead of the vanquished in the schoolyard hierarchy.

ReplyDeleteMy one war poem.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant image - en garde!
ReplyDeleteand congratulations on your poetry book! Well done!
Tess,
ReplyDeleteI think everyone should view a copy of Prince Valiant starring Robert Wagner! Ah, the thrust and overhead lop of the broadsword!
Nothing so good as the sound of metal on bone!
Truly("The Swordsman")fool
I enjoyed this one:-)
ReplyDeleteI was trying to write something about 'manhood showoffs' lately. And this was a coincidence! I request all of you to please read my post and type in ur frank opinion on that piece.. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting prompt.
ReplyDeleteOh, this one spoke to me...
ReplyDeleteThis one did not speak to me. I found myself angry with it and ergo my poem.
ReplyDeleteI was inspired enough to have a second go!
ReplyDeleteI ended up doing something silly with this.
ReplyDeleteThere.
