Greetings to all my Muse friends! First of all, I wanted to take the time to thank you all for your wonderful and kind comments last week. You all truly touched my heart, and I will always be grateful for you all! Second, I wanted to say that I am going to extend the end date to next week instead of this week. There is something different I wanted to do on the last week of the Muse that I thought would be nice to give you a heads up on to plan for. Next week I am going to post about 8 of the more popular muse photos of the last few years. You can use one of those photos, or you can peruse through and choose a few of your own all-time favorites and incorporate them into a new piece or maybe more than one post if that strikes your fancy. Now that I have given you an extra week & a heads up, let’s get to this week.
In celebration of my two fellow Muse poets and presenters,
Chrissa & Shay, I am posting a few of my favorites of theirs. Also, last but not least, next week will be
Shay’s birthday & I wanted to shout out a grand Happy Birthday to you, my
friend! 💖 Carrie

Good morning my friends! Happy writing!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could write to images. Sigh. I am glad it has worked for some peple. I am not around the poetry circle at all any more. Another era of my life, but it saddens me anyway that The Muse is ending. I see a lot of familiar names and have good memories. Be well!
DeleteThank you so much Mary and I do understand. We all are busy and sometimes it is hard to write when there is life to live. So glad to see you stopping by my friend and wishing you well on this era of your life. Be well and enjoy life Mary.
DeleteGoody ... we have a one week extension. Gotta love that! I posted an oldie from a decade ago. Planning on something fresh as well, hope that's ok. Happy weekend all ...
ReplyDeleteI second the goody and yes the more Helen poems the merrier my friend!
DeleteI hate to hear of prompts shutting down. I am so grateful to those who prompt and those who write in response. I read and appreciate all. I hope others will take their turns starting new weekly prompts as those who have been doing it for a while need breaks. Thank you for the many hours you all put into creating and keeping the spirits of art and poetry alive. It is a beautiful, rich pulsing of collective energy that many treasure and need.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome and so right Shawna! All the poets and writers that come here are contributors to the beautiful energy of creativity. I am grateful for your presence and your appreciation my friend.
DeleteP.S. I love her top (in the bottom picture).
ReplyDeleteMe too, but my fat stomach would ruin the whole look of it. LOL
DeleteHey Carrie! You are way too kind; thanks for the birthday wishes! These are great images, Chrissa's of course and you chose a couple of my personal favorites, too.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome Shay! Yes, I love all these that you both posted and I am glad I chose a couple of your favorites too! I hope that your birthday week is all that you deserve my friend!
DeleteHappy birthday to you, Shay! (Ha, we go way back.) Hope this next trip around the sun is a good one for you!
DeleteHappy almost-birthday to Shay!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,

Glad you are here David....and happy weekend to you my friend!
DeleteThanks David! The birthdays seem to come around about every 3 weeks anymore!
DeleteThese are great images Carrie. So very glad you will return one more time my friend. I went for a trio today.
ReplyDeleteThree just felt like four, so I created one more. 👍🏼🙂✌🏼🫶🏼
DeleteI am glad you like them Rob. No worries on the entries my friend; the more the merrier. Have a great week.
DeleteThank you for the images - I remember writing to a couple of them. I went back to re-read them to see where my mind wandered. I wrote a new one for today.
ReplyDeleteShay wishing you a wonderful week and an early Happy Birthday!
Thanks, T! It's tomorrow, so not too early :-)
DeleteYou are very welcome Truedessa and I am so glad you are here. I am heading to read yours now my friend.
DeleteGreat news 🙌 one more week thank you 😃
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome Angela! I look forward to reading your words....heading there shortly.
DeleteAm happy for the extra week. Goody! Happy Birthday to the incomparable Shay!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks my friend. What Carrie isn't saying here is that it's HER birthday week too! Happy birthday to Carrie!!!
DeleteI felt the extra week was needed for many reasons. Yes, Shay and I are both Gemini poets, but Shay is amazing! I am behind but heading to read yours in just a bit my friend.
