    I usually have something in my bag of tricks that matches the image prompt. This time though, I wrote something fresh this evening that I hope works with the image. Let me know if it works, or not. :-) Happy writing to all!

    I saw the image, then I saw the title of the image "untitiled moments". I thought let's explore
    those moments, and came up with my creation.....do explore it out!

    cheers,

    Enjoyed the prompt, though my entry might be a bit long-winded. Sometimes I get a little carried away ;)

    I really wanted to write a short story (for once), but I got stuck with the line 'in among the wheat and barley' in my head... I know it comes from somewhere but I can't place it! *sigh* So I used it instead. Thanks for a great prompt!

    I found this picture quite haunting and then this tanka emerged.

    Please remove the first post by Iris and leave the second. I have two wordpress and accidentally pasted the wrong one the first time. The correct post is Three is Enough, a 507 word article. The irisinbloom post was for a silly poetry submission. I tried to delete or remove but it would not allow. Thanks!!!!!

    I have been looking for the new short story slam prompt since Thursday and see only links to previous slams. Is there a specific url we can use to access this? I'd love to participate but have seen no prompts since Monday's rally or whatever.
    Thanks
