WRITER’S LINK: “Treasure”

January 15, 2008

Hello Islanders!

It’s Tuesday, January 15th, 12:01 AM on the U.S. east coast. Time to share your “Treasure”.

Are you going to tell us about a treasure (physical or metaphysical) you might be looking for, or have found, or maybe lost? Maybe you’re going to touch upon what you treasure most in life — treasured family member(s), treasured friend(s), treasured memory, treasured possession… or the like.

Perhaps you are going to take us on an imaginary (or real) treasure hunt! Please share with us any bit of creative writing the prompt “Treasure” brings to mind. Or create for us a different piece of writing, if “Treasure” doesn’t stir you.

Here is the post to which you can submit, in the ‘comments’ section, your link to your piece now posted on your blog. Remember, post only the link to your work here — not the piece itself… and please make certain your link is accurate.

What you have to share regarding “Treasure” — or whatever it is you have written… we’re all eager to hear! So let’s everyone get comfortable here on the island, and share our work.

  67. My second posting! “On the other side of the creek”

    Strangely, I had just written this poem and posted it on my blog when I noticed Rob’s invitation here (in an earlier blog). Why is that strange? It is strange because the word “treasure” becomes a vital part of the poem!

  68. Here is another submission for this topic! Maybe a bit dreamy! But one can have the weirdest of thoughts at 4am when sleep seems elusive! Definitely “treasures” if those thoughts seem to spring from nowhere at that time of the morning! Strangely, after I wrote them, I went back to bed and had a beautiful sleep! Hope you find them inspiring! Enjoy!

  69. Hello Everyone!

    This is way too late, but this blog entry was intended for this prompt. I failed to post this because I was already in the Philippines when the link was opened and I’m too busy with something else which I hope you know by now. Here is my post

    Returning Him

    I wish you well.
