    I know it's a busy week for all you American Maggies. For those of you who would still like to participate, I tacked on an extra day. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. xx

    (my word verification is "blest"...how perfect is that?)

    To Willow and everyone, have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Make it truly meaningful: Don't shop! Relish this holiday for it's blessings, it's meaning, and for the chance to spend quality time with loved ones.

    The stores and malls will still be there next week!

    Hi Willow, didn't realise you were posting so early, my link is actually for last week's picture so I hope thats ok? I will get on to something for current prompt, promise!

    Another poem that falls outside the prompt pic, I'm afraid. And this one is wrapped up in a longer post that - so far, anyway - seems to have deterred all but the most dedicated of blog readers! So if it's pure verse you're after, vault over the prosey bits and land on the poem! (Although I'd love to hear from anyone who's got time for the whole package).

    This is my first Magpie without the photo prompt because I wrote it before I saw this. It was perfect. My Cup Runneth Over!

    Willow I messed up I think 23 is from last week. I am not sure how I did that but my brain (I almost wrote brian lol) is tired!

    Finally posted mine. I wrote it last night and didn't do anything with it. Got to polish it up a smidge today, then. As you can see from the photo, it needed polishing. LOL
    I hope all my friends in the USA are enjoying their Thanksgiving week.

    This one was a challenge for me. I ended up going minimalist with a haiku. Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it, and I am thankful for this place of inspiration and community.

    Not much of a Thanksgiving poem, but a poem nonetheless, hopefully. Now I can devote myself to the important things, like cooking and eating. ;) Happy Thanksgiving, all.

    With Tgiving and lousy weather, I'm surprised anything emerged. It did, in layers, differing parts at differing moments for differing apparent reasons to yield what seems like a 'whole'.

    Keep enjoying the holiday!

    I cannot keep up reading all the contributions to Magpies. I almost repeated something I wrote before way back when we started but I did get a new inspiration, so I'm on with this prompt. Can't wait to read some others too.

  66. UnknownNovember 29, 2010 at 4:42 PM

    Well Willow this keeps growing and growing. How wonderful we all want to put it out there and write. I love the idea of your reading your poems. I am working on learning how to do that. Not that the poems are that great I just like to learn a new trick once and awhile. blessings
