Greets, dear Musers, it's me, Fireblossom, your prodigal girl. I haven't written anything in weeks and it's about time to change that. You with me???
I think the general mood, with all the insanity going on in the world, has been difficult and down, so let's back up and change it up, what do you think?
This week you get a choice. We are looking back at old Hollywood and a make-believe world that nevertheless lifts our spirits and touches our hearts. You can write for the image (Tracey Powers as Mary Pickford) or you can go completely off the deep end and use the video I'm providing. At the least, watch it to catch the mood! Happy writing!
Shay, I love your picture pick. Our 11-year-old granddaughter composed a dance routine that she then taught us. One of the pauses used a looking back, at the boy partner, to see if he was leaving or what all. Hers had no words but was done to a tune she had on her iPhone. The couple walked off together at its end. Needs a poem, only if I could.

Our mothers, your grandmothers (?? I am old), would have loved seeing this video. I loved it also. My dad sometimes said my mother had been a "flapper".

My mother wasn't much on loving anything. My dad, though, would have liked the clip. :-)
DeleteHmmm... Gale-force winds, the rain is blowing horizontal, and the dog refuses to go out but instead just whimpers. Lessee, happy-happy. Poetry asks much of us!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't have to be happy-happy. Whatever the image says to you.
DeleteYou mean that one brief part of the clip where they have cones on their noses? Or you mean making out with handsome Hollywood men. I've never tried that, but I guess a first time for everything.
DeleteLooks pretty fun to me! ;-)
DeleteYou think having a cone on your nose looks like fun?
DeleteI insist on wearing one constantly.
DeleteWe know.
DeleteHey guys! Y'all are earlier than the early bird LOL! I Love your story Jim and your not that old! Qbit maybe the winds will awaken your Muse as well. You always write something amazing every time my friend!

DeleteMissed you too!
DeleteOooh! Good!
DeleteHi kids, I am in the middle of moving, but will at least try to visit the links as I am able.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry!
DeleteWe have missed you dear Sherry, and hope the move goes well.
DeleteGreat picture — put me in mind of the Hollywood Silver Screen Starlets... so Shay, I went that way...
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you, Rob! Btw, I too love Tom Waits and I have that song on my iPod. ;-)
DeleteFunny, I wrote the first few lines of this days ago but didn't know where it went, so I let it sit there. The rest came as I thought about these amazing images. Resonant poeting - thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteInteresting ... I wrote a half of mine several weeks ago. Knew I wasn’t finished with it ....
DeleteI snapped that photo in Luca Italy days after Trump was elected ... the Italians were unbelieving he had been elected. Thought we had lost our minds (and heads.)
DeleteGlad we could inspire the finishing touch, Zander. :-)
DeleteHAPPY SUNDAY TO ALL
ReplyDeleteSTAY SAFE
much love...
Love the image and the push to lighten my ink.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday! I was feeling Shakespeare today..lol...
ReplyDeleteWow, looks like the person that made the video has removed it. :-(
