Sunday Muse #191

 Hey everyone, it's me, Fireblossom, with your weekly picture prompt. 

First, a couple of business matters. One, there will be no Sunday Muse next weekend for a Christmas break. It will return again on New Year's Day.  Second, this will be my final prompt here at Muse. I want to concentrate on my weekly Word List at my blog. Thanks to Carrie for inviting me to be here and letting me post here once a month. I will still be here as a participant.

Now, your prompt! This week's theme is "cosplay creatures"! You get a choice of any or all of three images to write poetry for. Here are your three pix:

Then just write, link, visit, enjoy!

The Sunday Muse #189

 Hello Musers, it's me, Shay/Fireblossom with your weekly picture poetry prompt. I am filling in for Carrie this time in order to give her a chance to cook the tree and decorate the dinner, and other sundry holiday pursuits. Therefore, there will just be one image. When it is my official week again I will do three as per usual on mine. 

Okay, goggle at the pic, write something, link, visit, enjoy! And thank you for being part of the Muse!

Sunday Muse #186 -- "Illusion"

 Hello friends, its me, Fireblossom, with your monthlies. As usual when it's my week, you get a choice of any--or all--of three themed images to write for. 

This time the theme is "illusion." None of the three pictures are what they appear to be. However, you needn't incorporate that into your poem--you can take them at face value or any other way they inspire you. The only caveat is, no hate. Did I even need to say that to you fine Musers?

Okay, here they are, with a note as to why they suit the theme!

This is not Louise Brooks, star of the silent screen. It's contemporary actress Mischa Barton doing a bang-up impersonation.

This is not a girl. He's a male tiktoker called jessit0.

This is not a guy. She's a drag king (name not given.) Looking good!

Write, link, visit, have fun! And if you don't include an image (qbit!), please let us know which you're writing for. :-)

Sunday Muse #182

 It's me, Fireblossom, with a seasonal selection for you. 

string theory

No pumpkins, no hayrides. 

plague nurse

No, this week you get a choice of writing for any or all of these three rather unnerving images. 

Dickinstein

Happy Halloween and.....unpleasant dreams!

Sunday Muse #178

 Hello friends, it's me, Fireblossom, with a slightly different Muse prompt for your poetry-writing joy. 

This time, you get a choice of any of three images!

They are themed, that is to say, similar, which is to say, my Pinterest is loaded with them.

All three images are of actors but who they are is not important. Let the image you like best speak to you and write a poem from that. If you do not include the image with your post--I'm looking at you, qbit!--at least let us know which one you wrote for. Then link, read, comment, and win at life! Enjoy. 

The Sunday Muse #173

 

This week's offering is an artwork in the "naive" style by artist Guido Vedovato. This one is entitled "Self-Portrait With Accordion." Take a look, write a poem, link, visit, enjoy!

The Sunday Muse #170

 

Having dropped the ball last week due to wonky internet service, I am back this week with an image to stir the angels and devils of your creativity. Perhaps dolly is crying because you wrote a haiku. Haiku gives dolly a sad. Take a peek, write, post, link, go visit others, have fun! --Shay

Sunday Muse #165

 

Hello Musers! Fireblossom here with your picture prompt to inspire your poetic writing this weekend. You know what to do....take a gander, get inspired, write a poem, link it, visit others, dye your hair purple. Okay, I made up that last, about the hair. :-p

Sunday Muse #160

Sunday Muse #148

Hello Musers! Shay here with your weekly picture prompt for your poetic inspiration. Meowwrr. 

Sunday Muse #143

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! 

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.

Sunday Muse #134

Hello Sunday Musers! It's Fireblossom here with your weekend image to write for. Today we have three familiar faces on a road trip. I am eager to see what you will do with that! Thanks to Sherry Marr for suggesting this image!

Happy weekend, Muse folk! Fireblossom here with your picture prompt. Gawk, cogitate, madly scribble, link, preen, visit, done!

The Sunday Muse #113

Hi gang! Fireblossom here with a double dose for you this week. Both photographs are actual color (not colorized) photographs from 1908 and 1913 respectively. They were done using a process called Autochrome Lumiere. I thank my BFF Hedgewitch for turning me on to them. 

Choose either image for your poetic inspiration and write a poem, link up and link back, visit, enjoy!

Sunday Muse #108

Hello Muse people! Here is your weekly image to inspire your writing. Look, mull, write, link,visit! The image is the Aztec Theater in downtown San Antonio, Texas. Once a grand movie palace with full faux Aztec decor inside including ornate pillars, by the time I lived there it was a bargain movie house called the Aztec 3 because it was divided into three theaters. By the time I visited some years later, it was closed. However, I understand that it is being used once again, as a venue for concerts and whatnot. I'm glad the old girl has found new love. 

You, of course, may take the image in any (poetic) direction you like!
