Sunday Muse #149

 


Greetings from what, this weekend, seems to be late spring here in Texas. This is the curtain behind which I feel last year was lived (and this year, with exceptions, is as well) and I'm very interested to see what might lie on the other side. Or what lurks on this side. :)

  1. This is a strong prompt Chrissa. I embraced your perspective that this was the curtain, behind which last year’s pandemic began and roared forth to still dominate the world; behind which racism showed its full ugly face in the US; and behind which an attempt for a fascist, right-wing coup was building last year, in a soil of deliberately undermining lies — and exploded in February this year in Washington DC. This is a bold prompt, but lotsa’ fodder for powerful writing, IMHO. Thank you Chrissa, and happy weekend all!

  3. Great prompt, Chrissa! I'm sure my take is not what you intended... but such is poetry.

  7. My blurry eyes saw this as tall pine trees when I wrote my poem this morning. A closer look this evening told me it wasn't, but I feel it is the words I needed to write. Thank you for the inspiration.

    1. Glad it was inspiration for your lovely words Susie, and we all can see different things with a prompt anyway....be it pine trees, curtains, green, or a closed window, and the list goes on and on. :-)

  9. Is it hard to write a romance poem after studying your pretty curtains? I guess setting the stage with the curtains rustling with the breeze, their assorted greens blending with the trees, . . . ??
    Really though, my imagine came through as did others of us. I hope you are alright after the storm and outages and also the COVID-19. Thanks for hosting.
