a long time since I put one in but this painting and the summer of'69 has inspired me. Thanks for the prompt...I saw his work when I came with college to New York...love it.
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... :(
I am totally blown away by the talent out there! Tess, thank you so much again for starting Magpie Tales. What a gift to all us writers and creative types. I know you have unearthed my love of quirky poetry...my poetry is very unconventional, but you inspire me so much with your selection of photographs! Thank you, thank you, thank you and to all who write for Magpie Tales...KEEP WRITING, you are all so very talented!
Oh my goodness - they get earlier and earlier!!! This should be a fun one!
ReplyDeleteSeveral peeps wrote me this afternoon, chomping at the bit...so here it is...nice and early!
ReplyDeleteLovely prompt, Tess. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteGood to be back!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is early!
ReplyDeleteWonderful to have had it early. So much to do, so little time. Beautiful prompt, though. Gotta love Edward Hopper.

ReplyDeleteHi Everyone, Jenne recommended your meme to me. I am looking forward to reading your work! :D
ReplyDeleteHopper always takes me back to my roots. I could almost smell the hamburgers grilling when I saw this one.
ReplyDeleteOur post is now up and posted.

ReplyDeleteMy post is up! :)

ReplyDeletewonderful magpie
Thanks, again, for hosting this. =)
ReplyDeleteGreat prompt! This could go in so many directions.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be fun, amzing prompt Tess!

ReplyDeleteAnother good one. Don't know how you do it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tess - just posted - couldn't resist!
ReplyDeleteSuch an evocative painting!
ReplyDeletethis ought to be fun! can't wait to read all the others.
ReplyDeleteGreat little ride with that tale. You had me with the picture. I have the perfect post for it.
ReplyDeleteI 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... :(
ReplyDeleteI went with what my muse saw in the picture...seems it was a broken heart.
ReplyDeleteHopper was new to me. Thanks, Tess for the intro to this artist's work.
ReplyDeleteI have a warped mind...
ReplyDeleteTess, this was a particularly good one. I hemmed and hawed, but what came to mind was too good for me not to post. It's up!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday Maggies! Great prompt Tess. It really helped me to express how I have been feeling lately.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great prompt, Tess. This Magpie seemed to practically write itself for me.....
ReplyDeleteSome of you know Sherry Blue Sky. #82 is written for her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this picture. Got my post on now...
