Hello Musers! This week we are celebrating Woman’s History Month, and featuring several images along that theme.  You can pick the photo that speaks to you, or if they all do, use them all!

Have fun everyone!

Greetings Muse Folk! Seeing you here is one of the best parts of my week!  I had so much fun last time, and I want to thank all those that were a part of the celebration.  Moving on, here is another image to inspire your words.  You know the score, but sometimes I like to re-tell the shpeal:

~Look

~Write

~Visit others as you would have them visit you

& have fun everyone!

Sunday Muse #200

 Welcome Muse Friends to the 200th Muse prompt & celebration! April 2018 was when it all began with the talented poet, Chrissa, me (Carrie), and eventually our amazing poet friend Shay. We also had Wednesday prompts for a while with Toni.   It has been a wonderful experience, and today I want to thank you all for being a part of it!

This week I thought it would be fun to do something different; maybe even unprecedented! I am going to feature 10 of  some of the top viewed images of the last 4 years.  You can choose the one you feel speaks to you, but when you write your post, I want you to do one more thing. This time say a little something about yourself.  Celebrations and parties are a great place to get to know each other and have great conversation. 

So, I will go first.  Hi you all know me as Carrie and some of you have heard that  I work at a library, but I bet a lot of you didn't know that.......when I write mine I will tell you more.

It's your turn!

Have fun everyone & I look forward to another 200 weeks of musing!

I can hardly believe that we are only one away from the 200th Muse!!

Boy time sure flies when you are having fun!

This has been an inspiring and fun experience for me, and I hope it has been for you all too!

Next week we will have some festivities to celebrate!

Have fun everyone!

Sunday Muse #198

 



Welcome Musers! This week I decided to do something different and post a group of photos similar to how our amazing friend and poet Shay (aka Fireblossom) used to do.  Mostly, I just couldn’t make my mind up.  Decisions……decisions…….LOL

So, you can choose an image to write to or if you want to be a “fancy pants” you can write a piece that goes with more than one photo.  I look forward to seeing where they lead you.

Have fun everyone!

Sunday Muse #191

 Hey everyone, it's me, Fireblossom, with your weekly picture prompt. 

First, a couple of business matters. One, there will be no Sunday Muse next weekend for a Christmas break. It will return again on New Year's Day.  Second, this will be my final prompt here at Muse. I want to concentrate on my weekly Word List at my blog. Thanks to Carrie for inviting me to be here and letting me post here once a month. I will still be here as a participant.

Now, your prompt! This week's theme is "cosplay creatures"! You get a choice of any or all of three images to write poetry for. Here are your three pix:






Then just write, link, visit, enjoy!

The Sunday Muse #189

 Hello Musers, it's me, Shay/Fireblossom with your weekly picture poetry prompt. I am filling in for Carrie this time in order to give her a chance to cook the tree and decorate the dinner, and other sundry holiday pursuits. Therefore, there will just be one image. When it is my official week again I will do three as per usual on mine. 


Okay, goggle at the pic, write something, link, visit, enjoy! And thank you for being part of the Muse!

Sunday Muse #186 -- "Illusion"

 Hello friends, its me, Fireblossom, with your monthlies. As usual when it's my week, you get a choice of any--or all--of three themed images to write for. 

This time the theme is "illusion." None of the three pictures are what they appear to be. However, you needn't incorporate that into your poem--you can take them at face value or any other way they inspire you. The only caveat is, no hate. Did I even need to say that to you fine Musers?

Okay, here they are, with a note as to why they suit the theme!


This is not Louise Brooks, star of the silent screen. It's contemporary actress Mischa Barton doing a bang-up impersonation.


This is not a girl. He's a male tiktoker called jessit0.


This is not a guy. She's a drag king (name not given.) Looking good!

Write, link, visit, have fun! And if you don't include an image (qbit!), please let us know which you're writing for. :-)

Greetings Friends! We are glad to see you! You know the drill, but I will bore you with it anyway:

*Ponder the image & the meaning of life...

*Write with a pen, pencil or maybe keypad...

*Link, share, & visit others

but above all else

HAVE FUN EVERYONE!

 It's me, Fireblossom, with a seasonal selection for you.

No pumpkins, no hayrides.

No, this week you get a choice of writing for any or all of these three rather unnerving images.

Happy Halloween and.....unpleasant dreams!

 Hello friends, it's me, Fireblossom, with a slightly different Muse prompt for your poetry-writing joy. 



This time, you get a choice of any of three images!



They are themed, that is to say, similar, which is to say, my Pinterest is loaded with them.



All three images are of actors but who they are is not important. Let the image you like best speak to you and write a poem from that. If you do not include the image with your post--I'm looking at you, qbit!--at least let us know which one you wrote for. Then link, read, comment, and win at life! Enjoy.
