I have one this time, guys. Very early too, so hopefully the views will start to come in full bloom soon enough. This time, it's not a haiku this week, I promise.
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,
Last week was amazing. I had so much fun reading everyone. Started going through the list this morning and again. Amazing. Great work everyone. Thanks Willow. Love and Light, Sender
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.
I loved this picture. So many ideas came to mind with this one. I hope you will please read my newest poem, Aging Gracefully. Thanks, Kristie (Just Me)
They say it's better late than never! So here I am :)) I hope you enjoy this poem... Now, off to read the "ton" of posts ahead of me.. :) Thank you all...
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!
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.
Posting a bit early this week. Enjoy, my friends!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's an awesome image. Don't have a slot for a new one this time, but here's an old one I hope you like.

ReplyDeleteHoly Magpies, Batman, it is only Monday,
ReplyDeleteand 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!

ReplyDeleteQMM
Thank you! Loved the prompt but I didn't find it easy to write to... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Willow, I am pretty late this week, probably too late but entered anyway, thanks for the prompt
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
ReplyDeleteThis took forever to process through and I am so grateful I did it, even at this late hour!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU Willow - this prompt did a great work through me!
Gottenhimmel, magpeers,
ReplyDeleteWillow 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.
Uh-oh. Sorry, Glenn, did I start something? Cat-of-eight-tales? Well, I guess it could be one worse.
ReplyDeletewhew - I think I got this one in under the wire. willow?
