  3. Wonderful to have had it early. So much to do, so little time. Beautiful prompt, though. Gotta love Edward Hopper.

  22. I found it less that fun but very cleansing. Poetry can empty the dark spots in one's soul.

  26. Great little ride with that tale. You had me with the picture. I have the perfect post for it.

  27. I was eager, but my muse was being stubborn. This is a scene from my Midwestern youth -- dusty midnight moths, noisy junebugs, and sad words of good-bye... :(

    ReplyDelete
  28. I went with what my muse saw in the picture...seems it was a broken heart.

  29. Hopper was new to me. Thanks, Tess for the intro to this artist's work.
