Sunday Muse #139
Hello and welcome, Musers! Fireblossom here with your weekly picture prompt. This time we have a photograph of the late singer/songwriter Laura Nyro. She wrote fabulous, original lyrics like this one, from "Stony End":
"Never mind the forecast
cos the sky has lost control
and the fury of the rolling thunder's
come to match my raging soul"
Or this, from "Sweet Blindness":
"Down by the grapevine, drink my daddy's wine
Good mornin'!
Don't let daddy hear it,
he don't believe in the gin mill spirits
Come on, baby, do a slow float
You're a good lookin' river boat
and ain't that sweet-eyed blindness good to me"
Let the picture speak to you and come back and link what you wrote so we can stop by and read.

Greetings and welcome to the Sunday Muse! I'd like to wish everyone a happy weekend and good writing. I'm writing and deleting this, impatient to talk about the image and trying not to wrap it in themes and whatnot before the discovery and the writing. :)
Looking forward to the poems and the conversation!

We've Got Cows...and Footnotes Muse # 127
Greetings, all! It's soooo close to spooky season that I can barely stop myself from breaking out my copy of Practical Magic and beginning my annual re-read (and, of course re-watching the movie...the differences between the two make me oddly happy). But it's NOT YET time for spooky, just for wild weather. And so...we've got cows*. A cow.+ Not a flying cow. Although it could have just landed. You decide. Looking forward to seeing what's on your minds & your screens this week!
*Reference to the movie Twister.
+ One of my 'real-life' spooky stories involved a black cow that would sometimes come to the creek running through Camp Pryor when I was a Brownie (scout). There were all kinds of rumors about WHAT THAT WAS just through the trees. I mean, you're sleeping in platform tents that you first had to sweep free of large wolf spiders and it's hot and you can see the brush moving on the other side but you can't really see it. But I'm sure this cow is perfectly friendly...

Greetings and salutations! Welcome to the weekend and to the latest Sunday Muse. I am daydreaming of swimming pools and dragonflies and the demanding mockingbirds who are a fan of blueberries and yard-diving and hoping that this finds us all still afloat and waving cheerily from our distant poetry rafts. Toss us a line and we'll clamber aboard.

Greetings and salutations! Hoping this finds you well in the midst of chaos. I'm fascinated by roses, both in their formal florist setting and in their wilder, briar variety, so for my first prompt I thought I'd go with roses.
So, here we are: poof! Roses and verses. A magic trick I shall enjoy reading. :)
