Dear Group <3 Once more, my apologies for non contribution. Have been iinundated with visitors and am off to Ireland (my baby boy will be 40!) in a few days. But I promise, hand on heart, when I get back I shall get cracking. *hangs head in shame :-D

Horrible things mink. wouldn't be so many running wild if they had not been released by animal rights people some years back.

Les could write a poem about his fish and the mink that killed them..

I think it terribly sad that he has lost them all..

Both probably Rose. :-D

Have to admit I have only managed a poem. My brain just would not unlock.

Thank you Rose. The next assignment is due this weekend and I suggested a free week so if anyone needs prompts they can use yours, then we can also use yours for the next two week assignment.

My apologies ( this is getting a habit!) for not having commented on work or replied to responses to mine . Thankyou very much to all of you though. Eyes not too good at the moment from peering at family tree stuff, but will get round to the next assignment soon, not sure when it's due?

If anyone wants some ideas for first lines or subject?

"Silvery flakes drifted down, glittering in the bright light of the harvest moon. The blackbird…"

"your character has to sell the house where she grew up. A potential buyer comes to look at it and begins to talk about all of the changes she would make to the place. This upsets your character, who decides she wants to find a buyer who will leave everything the way it has always been...."

"I was wasting time....."

" at heart she was a country girl....."

Poem using the following words or idea:

blue, time, glass, sea, tears, west, calling

or , 'before I knew you'

Hi Ann, and all,

no you've not had mine yet, have only written a short poem so was going to try and do something else as well, but the way things are going it will be just the poem or nothing lol.

Will send out later today and see if I come up with anything in the meantime ;-)

I have been away for the weekend and have lost track a bit. I have not heard from Julie, Erroll, Helen, BC (But I know she has a block at the moment) and Rose (Have I missed yours Rose?)


I think I am right in saying that none of the ones I have had were taken from the suggested list (except mine). So, as you seem not to want a prompt I shall leave you to your own devices this fortnight.
