  11. Last week's prompt had me singing "Come to my window" for days. This week I'll be humming "time, time, time is on my hands..." Thanks Willow! ツ

  12. Almost didn't try this cause all I kept hearing was Anna Nalick singing, "Life's like an hourglass glued to the table..." Then just started and really surprised myself. Thanks Willow,

  20. Thanks Willow, nice one.
    Couldn't help it, I just have to be contrary.
    I've been gardening all day and have only just had time to get to you. Wish our time zones were less contrary, though.
    I am still enjoying the challenge.

  47. Holy Magpies, Batman, it is only Monday,
    and look at the response list--109 poems,
    essays, stories, quips, views, and growing,
    ever growing; three of them were mine.
    What intense following your challenges
    provide! It simply puts other poetry
    challenge workshops into a state of pale.
    Love being a new Magpie!

  55. Gottenhimmel, magpeers,
    Willow has put the brand of 8
    into my cortex, and her branding
    iron was hot!
    64, 71, 74, 124, & 125--
    and then there were five,
    like magpie eggs in May,
    a whole hoary nest full.
    Will this prompt stop visiting
    me in my dreams?
    Will the spiritual,
    mathematical, personal,
    and sexual symbols quit
    making me rise earlier than
    I would like, snapping the
    cat-of-eight-tails over
    my head, stinging the air
    with its significance?
    God only knows.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Uh-oh. Sorry, Glenn, did I start something? Cat-of-eight-tales? Well, I guess it could be one worse.

    ReplyDelete
  57. whew - I think I got this one in under the wire. willow?
