This is the last week to pre-order my poetry chapbook, Patina, from Finishing Line Press. This will help me tremendously, since my pressrun is determined by advance sales. A huge thank you to all who have placed an order. Your kind support means so very much. You are the best. [Click here for the link to FLP]
That's pretty gross. LOL. I went funny. Hope you like it.
ReplyDeleteGiggle...I know, it is really freaky. Looking forward to the results. Should be an interesting week!
ReplyDeleteI hate Mr Linky. Forget the first attempt.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. I'll fix it. :)
ReplyDeleteI know they're essential but . . . but . . . yuk!;-)
ReplyDeleteWill your book be signed if we preorder it?
ReplyDeleteI went for funny . . . and true.
ReplyDeleteEyeball...what can one possibly write about an eyeball? Lots and lots...eyeballs are so talkative!
ReplyDeleteDear Tess,
ReplyDeleteI wish to write for your magpie tales this week and I am already linking my first attempt here. Thank you for the photo prompt and have a nice day to all.(:

Tess, Sorry for the dupe...first attempt doesn't work. Fascinating photo...vb
ReplyDeleteWindowlad: Welcome!
ReplyDeleteVersebender: No worries...deleted the first one.
It should indeed be an interesting week. I have an odd relationship with my own peepers, having twice come all too close to losing their use.
ReplyDeleteI've posted an existing piece for now but I think I may have a second one later in the week.
Gosh! Two weeks was a long time with no new Mag!! :) Thank goodness you're back Tess!!
I missed you last week and I am going to skip this one. Sorry but looking at the image makes me sick.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that Jacqui. It's a vintage glass eye I bought at the Scott Antique Fair in Columbus a few years ago. The vendor had a wooden case with narrow drawers filled with all sizes and colors. It was hard for me to choose just one. They really are amazing pieces of craftsmanship.
ReplyDeleteMine's up!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting prompt. Tess I just received a great book that I think you would enjoy. I wrote about it on my blog. The post is called the ultimate writing tool. When you have time check it out. Congrats on Patina. I can't wait to get my copy. xox
ReplyDeleteGreat prompt, Tess. Just another 'quickie' from me this week, though.
ReplyDeleteThe eye, doppelganger,
ReplyDeleteencased in glass, it parrots
and embraces pretense,
but sees nothing,
just like demagogues,
blind pirates, stone dogs,
and park statues,
but what it represents
is holy, spiritual, so very Zen
as swing open the doors of
perception, and use our vision
as best we can muster.
I too was unable to be serious. And thanks for your help with the image Tess.
ReplyDeletei love it!

ReplyDeleteIs this the same eye from mag13?
Or maybe the other eye?
8^)
Thanks,Tess..it brought out something weird..what a surprise!!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting choice this week.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am a bit late. I am editing and posting my entire series of Raven & Wolf poems. Oddly enough this poem is called Yellow Eyes so it actually fit the prompt.
ReplyDeletePhil, it is, indeed, the same eye. I wondered if anyone would remember.
ReplyDeleteOld Raven, no one is late! The prompt stays up and the linky open all week, so dive in, the water's fine.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tess, that was a fun one, once I got over the shock of it.
ReplyDeleteI put my two cents in. Now to go back and see what other people said.
ReplyDeleteThis image kind of creeped me out! I wrote just a little something for fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it :)
ReplyDeleteI had fun returning to Magpie #13 for 'the eye' poetry!
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to get past the queasy feeling at seeing the disembodied eye; I knew I could not possibly deal with it --- but I did!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind though that I disguised the eye a bit by enlarging. Due to your great photography, the glass eye is too realistic to look at every time I view my blog ;)
Unexpected photo, but fascinating idea. I had fun with it, a short vignette today.
ReplyDeleteWell,obviously, we have arrived a bit late for supper-time. Such a promising meal on display,too. Looking forward to breakfast however. Eager to try our hand.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, just had time for a quick one this time, thanks Tess!
ReplyDeleteVery inspirational - thanks Tess.
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
hmm interesting theme..have to write one on it *smiles* :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see everyone!
ReplyDeleteHere's lookin' at you, kid!
ReplyDeleteNever really tried anything like this, but it was fun. Some great entries here to compete with, as well. Thank you for the opportunity. :)
ReplyDeleteI wrote my newest thing, not a poem but a story in itself. A flash fiction I believe. It's at www.inkladendiary.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting prompt.
ReplyDeleteGreat having you back, Tess!
Strange One this week :)
ReplyDeleteI played! I played! Now I'm going to go read what everyone came up with to see how many had the same idea as me.
ReplyDeleteThis is a truly disturbing photo and because this monologue has been on my mind since seeing it on Monday, I must be a slightly disturbed gal.
What an image!! Seriously.... TOOOOO GOOOD!!! :))
ReplyDeleteOh.. I played, alright!! hehhe
Thanks for the prompts, again. =)
