9:01 a.m. — San Antonio
listening to With Your Love sung by Jefferson Starship
Hello, all. I think I made a rash statement to the effect I would post a picture and keep mum, leaving all possibilities to you. Do you know how hard that is?!
I found this on Pinterest without title or artist, for which I apologise. Let’s see what you do with it (this is killing me). I will say that whatever results, the image is your spark and doesn’t have to be a part of the poem; or, you can focus on one part of the image and ignore the rest.
I will see you Thursday for links and things and next Tuesday for yet another image prompt, one where I can go back to directing.
Happy writing all.

Look at those cubby little feet (x x x), and where did that child find that starfish?

Margo, It started out just for you… but it fit with another prompt too:
Just a touch of snark? You’ll see… *giggle*
Falling Water?

Sleep, baby, sleep
I’ll wrap you in a cloud
and leave the moonlight on
night’s an enchanted land
where dreams abound
and sparkling fall upon
your half-sealed eyelids
sleep, my baby, sleep
the world is kind
all evil’s buried deep

I am, Sasha. It’s always made great with the help of Facebook and WordPress and all the people I get to ‘see’ on this day.

“I’ll wrap you in a cloud

A beautiful lullaby – is there a melody for it?
Sasha A. Palmer

Thank you, Viv. Your comment made me wish there were a melody for it 🙂

Woohoo! Written same day as the prompt. That’s bound to get me a bonus prize. There are prizes, right? 🙂 OH, and no one died. More bonus points.

It’s still 8:00 PM in Portland, so don’t be too hasty!

Of course, there are prizes. They are figurative as befits a poet. Your bonus point column is skyrocketing 😀

Here I come straggling along – last again – just like Eeyore https://georgeplaceblog.wordpress.com/2015/12/09/read-tothem/

I am very fond of Eeyore. You straggle away.

My mind is absolutely too trashy to take this one on.
margo roby
10/12/2015 at 8:38 am
The thought occurred to me, so that makes two trashy minds and a partridge in a pear tree.
