Be well soon Tess, thank you for your work even through illness. This was at first a bit difficult. However as I allowed it to unfold somehow the current election cycle influenced my words.
Hi Tess and everyone...the painting was so appropriate this week - it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and my dear friend has just starting her fight this week. None of us are immune. I'm hope you get over your illness too:)
Ha! I looked at the prompt yesterday, but felt like that woman, so I put it off until today when I could chuckle over it ... no serious write, but it was fun. Thanks, Tess! Hope your cold is fading ...
Hi Tess - I'm sorry I missed a couple of weeks - both times I had strong ideas of what to post, but time just ran away with itself (and me), and couldn't quite manage it.
Anyway, enjoyed this one - something struck my eye, which I think you'll enjoy. Hope all is well. k.
Lately Tess my muse has abandoned me... nothing resonates with my soul, no images spark or inspire, there is only a quiet apathy and mild confusion. So I withdraw and seek solace, look for something to move me -- in truth, look for nothing, hoping in the not looking, I can find...
Thanks again for the brain freeze and subsequent fretting. But I think I finally found a version I like well enough. :) I'll be back later tonight to read the rest.
Place your hand on my sweaty brow Full of fever that burns deeper than your hand can touch. Look at my scarlet skin A red that screams louder than a stop light Listen to my chest while I breathe Hear the struggle that’s happening inside me Let the aroma of my medicine flood your mind The smell of my pain overwhelms my cure Please, Please taste my lips with yours We both know that’s what I need to be better.
Happy writing, my friends!
ReplyDeleteNice one :-)
ReplyDeleteI've always liked the Doctor series.
Now I know why you said you felt a cold coming on on FB!
ReplyDeleteI'm still coughing...hack...wheeze...

ReplyDeleteMore than several friends and relatives have battled breast cancer ... I've lost three dear friends. Thank you for bringing attention to the cause!!!
DeleteI couldn't be too serious this week. It's a wonderful painting, full of possibilities, but there could only be one thing bothering this poor woman.
ReplyDeletestunning image for this week Tess-thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnother good pic to create with Tess, thanks!
ReplyDeleteSorry you have a cold? Thanks for the post-

ReplyDeleteHugs

i can't seem to leave a link - sorry, but my story is up
ReplyDeleteNot quite the NHS...
ReplyDeleteThe good doctor pays a house call and took me also in a different direction. I wrote one yesterday and pondered it all night and posted this morning.
ReplyDeleteSick Woman - how much I could do with a painting with that title!!! My life, encaptured!! I had to respond with a poem :) xxxx
ReplyDeleteWools! I'm up. This one wasn't as easy as I would have expected. But I'm there, huzzah!
ReplyDeleteOk, finally I'll play doctor too. I agree with Irish Gumbo though, this one wasn't easy!
ReplyDeleteHa! I looked at the prompt yesterday, but felt like that woman, so I put it off until today when I could chuckle over it ... no serious write, but it was fun. Thanks, Tess! Hope your cold is fading ...

ReplyDeletegave it a shot
ReplyDeleteI decided to give this one a shot, concentrating mostly on that little smoking box on the floor. ;)
ReplyDeleteRunning short of time this week, more so than usual, so I took the rather predictable option...
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting and the creative goad!
Am enjoying all these prompts! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteProse today. No poetry in this image for me.
ReplyDeleteAnother great prompt Tess....hope you all have a wonderful week! :-)
ReplyDeleteRunning along behind, as usual. Multi-faceted prompt, thanks Tess.

ReplyDeleteI'm a bit late too. The need for sleep sometimes overtakes everything else...
ReplyDelete...but love the prompt!

ReplyDeleteI'm late because I'm sick! But I did not write about my illness!
ReplyDeletePlace your hand on my sweaty brow
ReplyDeleteFull of fever that burns deeper than your hand can touch.
Look at my scarlet skin
A red that screams louder than a stop light
Listen to my chest while I breathe
Hear the struggle that’s happening inside me
Let the aroma of my medicine flood your mind
The smell of my pain overwhelms my cure
Please, Please taste my lips with yours
We both know that’s what I need to be better.
Thanks Tess.
