Hi Tess, kindly delete my link.. there's something wrong with blogger at this moment, or maybe it's just my connection. My poem came out disfigured, in weird spacing..so i deleted it. Sorry for this. Thanks.
So, I'm sitting here for a couple of hours wondering why my name doesn't appear on the list. Seems I forgot to click the send-thing. This seems to be a confusing day in the blogosphere. — K

This photo got me thinking about the symbols that people become and how they can be twisted and misused--I ended up a long way from St Francis, so no offense is meant.
Okay, think I removed all the faulty links. Everything looks good to go. Will slowly be making the rounds this week. Looking forward to your offerings this week.
Everyone's comments above are quite intriguing :) So much Gothic referencing - and ironically, Dragonwyck by Anya Seton has been playing on tv in the background as I link this to you. Can't get more Goth than that :) Mine is a re-post in a way, but you'll see why. Glad Ruthie has joined in! xx
Hello again, after a year's absence. Glad I dropped by, since this prompt led to a poem that really matters to me--and to a friend who lost her father just last night.
Seriously had to think about what I wanted to write about this! Finally after much thinking and thought and those unsaintly afterthoughts (no guilt here!) about it; scrambling my brain. Why did I work up a sweat when St. Francis seem never to fuss? Fuss-less Saints I like! And then his saintly "laissex-faire hippy of his day" 1200 long time ago! Yes, thanks to St. Francis I think I actually like the way it turned out! "Make me a Channel of Your Peace" was his not mine! Ok?
A bit of a challenge today. Thanks, Tess.
ReplyDeletethank you ! i love this one so much :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, peaceful prompt. Happy Monday all!
ReplyDeleteThought I'd try to get in before Glenn this week.
ReplyDeleteThis is a true story.
thanks for the inspiration today...was running a bit dry...

ReplyDeleteI found this challenging, so posted an extract from my 1979 diary when the almost Saint, Pope John Paul II came on a historic visit to Dublin.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this prompt; its given me an opportunity to remember somebody I'd forgotten.
ReplyDeletefun one.
ReplyDeletewell done.
Is there any chance of you deleting No.18, Willow? The url leads back to Magpie rather than my blog.
ReplyDeleteTess can you remove the Rinkly (corrected) that was an error on my part...bkm
ReplyDeleteThis was challenging! Tried a new form with this one-a rispetto.

Nope, I was wrong. I just didn't see my own name. Definitely one of those days.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Tess.

ReplyDeleteThose pesky journalists come into play this week.
ReplyDeletePoignant photo, Tess. xxxj
ReplyDeleteWell I straddled the garden fence between the light and the dark in my poem for this prompt ---nothing new. Thanks Tess.
ReplyDeleteReally drawn to this one..what a surprise!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, think I removed all the faulty links. Everything looks good to go. Will slowly be making the rounds this week. Looking forward to your offerings this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for hosting this. Mine's up, and linked.
ReplyDeleteI imagined writing something inspirational: Instead I came away somewhat less than hopeful...
ReplyDeleteRick
Mine is far less than . . . any thing.
ReplyDeleteFirst time for me here, just gave it a try, a newbie. thanks.:)
ReplyDeleteAs Pee Wee Herman would say, "Hmmm, birdy!"
ReplyDeleteThis picture should give rise to some heartfelt responses.
ReplyDeleteSlightly irreverent, but simply could not resist playing around with the proverb...
ReplyDeleteAt the moment nothing's coming except an idea for a painting, but we'll see.
ReplyDeleteIt was the deformed haircut that inspired me.
ReplyDeleteNever telling where one of your prompts will lead me. Or others that play here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tess. Trying my first Magpie!
ReplyDeleteI shall be interested to see what others have written . . .
ReplyDeleteOur Animal Cousins will love this!
ReplyDeleteSlightly cheating because this isn't new, but the picture suggests gothic horror to me (because I am me) so I'm going to cheat anyway ! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prompt; I went all literal on this one.
ReplyDeleteamen to spring at last!!!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI'm new...but I was definitely inspired by the pic! Can't wait for more!
Thanks for the prompt Tess - it certainly aroused memories in me!
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]

Ooo I really like this one! Thanks for the prompt Tess!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Tess...this evokes something I am struggling with...
ReplyDeleteMy post is up! :)
ReplyDeleteThe sad saga continues . .

ReplyDeleteI thought long and hard before posting today because it's a true story which some may find difficult to believe. Thank you for this prompt.
ReplyDeleteTess,
ReplyDeleteThis one I accepted with gratitude, it rising despite the encumbrances of a 'bureaucratic week from hell'.

After Blogger wiped me out, I have returned anew!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and thought provoking prompt Tess....love it! :-)
