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!

    Really liked the prompts today — especially one. Took me to Emeral the Earth Witch, mother protector of the elements of earth. She is not happy. I invite you to come meet her… 😏

    Only one of these 'spoke' to me so the choice was easy and the poem took its lead from that!

      That is what can be nice about having a selection; what speaks to one does not to another. I look forward to reading yours Laura!

    Hi Carrie! What a great selection of images, all very evocative. I'm glad I discovered the Sunday Muse :-)

    Any idea who the photographer is for the couple in the lake with the umbrella? Just wanted to credit them on my post. No worries if not.

      I am delighted you like them Sunra, and I am so glad you discovered the Muse as well. I am digging deeper to see if I can find the photographer. I will message you at your blog when I have an answer. :-)

    CARRIE, COULD YOU DELETE MY ENTRY ON #197? Something has gone awry with that entry, and the poem has disappeared from my files! The URL takes people nowhere. Sorry.

      No apologies needed Bev. I will delete it. Sometimes technology can be a pain in the neck....at least for me it is. :-)

      Shay, I'm commenting here because I don't want to comment under my gmail on your blog, but I wanted to tell you that I absolutely LOVE your "For Su Griffin" (that folds her heart, the dough the sheets - amazing) and "Self Portrait" (love this narrator. This would be such an awesome read-aloud piece)

    Love that you took this path, Carrie. I am not feeling up to writing today but hopefully one of these will get me going sooner or later. I love the owls!

      Hedgewitch, I don't like to comment under my gmail so I will post here - I loved your piece "Lincoln frees the owls". Absolutely captivating from the first stanza and brilliant.

    I was thinking about the first images and then the last one, of the room, hit me.
    It took me right back to happy days with a dear friend.
    Thanks a lot!!!
    Think I finally said a bit of goodbye....

    Maybe over time I'll make some changes...

    Enjoy the new week!!!

      You probably needed some extra rest Lisa. Yes, I am really enjoying the different directions taken.
