Your picture inspired me to repost a short short story I wrote just last month. So, a bit of a cheat, but I think you'll still like A Plot Both Great and Grand.
Last time I looked I was going to be #13 but when I came to post, there were many more before #23. Imaginations have been in full gear! This reminds me of how much delight my father and I would take in wandering around old graveyards - much to my mother's distaste - she called our 'hobby' morbid curiousity!
Thanks Tess. A photograph which I took in a heavy fashion! I am doing this post from a hotel lobby--I checked out a while ago, but snuck in from parking lot for wifi! Have a nice weekend. Thanks for the opportunity to post.
I have tried something different and hope it will work. I linked to a facebook note since I don't really blog anymore. We will see if it links correctly. Thank you Magpie!
Apologies, Tess, my blog is out of action, I am experiencing virus problems and have temporarily gone offline to resolve the problems. Apologies to anyone who has clicked on my this week's link.
Thanks Tess, for the wonderfully inspiring image. Am happy to see at least so far, that no one went with the old epitaph that we've all probably read before about Lester Moore: HERE LIES LESTER MOORE FOUR SLUGS FROM A 44 NO LES NO MORE Although it may have made for an interesting cue to good little a fictional story. Food for thought. Back to reading!!
Ooops. I have to repeat this comment. I edited my posting ID so that it would go directly to my blog. Here it is --- now the link will get to the right spot.
I liked this prompt! Thanks for great inspiration as always! I find I am gaining a little more academic discipline through this site, something that I always expected my students to have over the years...
Have been enjoying my blog romping this week, for the magpies are a flutter. I posted early, Scene Eleven of my cinemagenic series, but it seems a valuable lesson has been learned, for each week there have been less and less comments. Perhaps 12 weeks, final scene next week, is beyond presumptuous in such a forum, too lively, too graphic--but it has been fun for me. So one more stab at this new poetic form, and then it is back to more applicable responses to the images.
It took me awhile but I finally uploaded my piece! It sorta touched me. I've written a death picture once and it really sinks into my soul. Death. But I hope everyone enjoys it!
thanks Miss Tess!
ReplyDeleteHave fun fellow bloggers! Have a great week ahead...

ReplyDeleteHope it doesn't look as though I've lost the plot with this one.

ReplyDeleteA perfect prompt for R&J, Thanks...
ReplyDeleteVicki I visited your utterly fantastic post on Face Book but cannot comment. I just wanted to say here that it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI chose to use a new (to me) poetic form I just learned today. I like the prompt photo.

I had this poem in another version...just waiting for now...
ReplyDeleteas ever the prompt leads somewhere different than where i expected to go!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prompt...I was a bit morose this time, but it really got me thinking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful photo. What "Moore" can I say?
ReplyDeleteThank you Tess, once again, for providing a prompt. You challenge me each and every week.
ReplyDeleteseriously, Tess? Moore? ;)
ReplyDeleteA lovely photo prompt...hope I did it justice
ReplyDeleteThanks Tess, this week's prompt brought out my sadder side.
ReplyDeleteWell, it took some 'percolating' and then a combo
ReplyDeleteof things happened. Thanks.
At least once a year I seem to do my own version of Gray's Elegy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this opportunity.
Had a little holiday poetic fun in mine this time around...no scary story this week...

Hi Tess, I thought it was about time I joined you!I hope my tale fits the bill.
ReplyDeleteLoved this prompt, it was a challenge to do it justice, but I tried anyway.

ReplyDeleteAm happy to see at least so far, that no one went with the old epitaph that we've all probably read before about Lester Moore:
HERE LIES
LESTER MOORE
FOUR SLUGS
FROM A 44
NO LES
NO MORE
Although it may have made for an interesting cue to good little a fictional story. Food for thought.
Back to reading!!

This prompt has been nibbling at the back of my consciousness since Sunday. It has taken this long for me to hatch my fledgling idea.
ReplyDeleteThank You Tess, this happened to bring out a lot of different emotions for me.

ReplyDeleteNewbie here.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading great work. :)
It took me awhile but I finally uploaded my piece! It sorta touched me. I've written a death picture once and it really sinks into my soul. Death. But I hope everyone enjoys it!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time. It's all about Moore.
ReplyDeletesorry...i am just a bit late :(
ReplyDeleteI am late as usual....but love the prompt Tess!
ReplyDelete:-)
I've been away a bit, so nice to finally have the time to come back!
ReplyDeleteI'm in on this week's magpie, Tess. Been a while!
ReplyDeleteSneaking mine in at the last minute...again...thank you, Tess!
ReplyDeleteFeeling rather minimalist today.
ReplyDeleteThis reminded me of the primitive graveyard we visited on an Easter Day hike two years ago.
