9:00 AM Friday morning, May 9th 2008, on the U.S. West Coast, is quickly approaching — so… here I am with a new Prompt! This week’s, and the thirty-fourth Writer’s Island prompt is: “Faithful”.
That word conjures some deep and moving images for me. I never want to influence your take on the week’s prompt, but how does “Faithful” inspire you, or spark your creative fire? Share with us what you see in your mind’s eye.
••>
This week we turn to the captivating new movie, The Fall, as the source of our
twelfth Matinee Muse prompt: “Fantasy”. What is real, what is imagined?
Can one always tell the difference? Where does fantasy carry you?
The Matinee Muse prompts are now a regular weekly offering, so please enjoy!
Remember — this, and every week, click the poster to learn about the movie.
<••
Feel free to use either, or both, of this week’s prompts — or use neither if you so choose. Whatever moves your soul this week is what we all want to read.
So, create your poem, prose, short story, essay, commentary, or whatever — and post it on your blog. Feel free to include recordings of you reading your work — and any photo, artwork, or graphic representation you feel is relevant.
When you have finished your piece, please return here to this post and place your link to your work as a comment — and as you know, just the link, not the piece.
Please realize there is no need to rush, this post will be open to receive your links for the entire week, leading up to the next prompt.
May your muse, this week and every week, be true to you, so you write your best — write from your heart! We can’t wait to see what you have for us…

Hi
I already have one which seems just right for the prompt “Fantasy”

My take at combining both the prompts together:

I picked the Matinee Muse today. Check out “Those Faithful Days Filled With Fantasy Are Just The Beginning Of The End.”

Here is my take… small one this time.. 🙂

have a good weekend everyone!
Wrote this a couple of days ago, but it seems appropriate for the “Faithful” prompt:
Stonework
Dear Islanders, I’ve been working on a piece about the Demeter and Persephone myth for about two months, and some of it you’ve seen. I’ve posted the whole at TOP for their “transformation” prompt, and would like to cheat a little by posting here as well. I really want the folks I’ve been following, and who have been following me to see it. It’s long, especially by internet standards, but I hope enjoyable. Here, then, in the “fantasy” category: THIS DRIFTING WORLD
Thank you!
Hello Islanders!
Work is taking me away from my writing table and the writers island recently – last week I was totally off. My article for ferocious and identity is stuck in my draft files and I haven’t read for awhile. But I know I am “Faithful”, it’s just my work, so here are some poems that paint the Color Of My Heart
I wish you well.

Hi ..and I am back with a new one
FAITHFUL
Who or what is the ONLY thing faithful to Man all his life ??

Do also read my earlier one for “Fantasy”

Here’s mine, inspired by but loosely connected to the faithful prompt:

Distant Foreplay
Please note, this has adult content. Nothing graphic. But it’s theme is about the decision to be unfaithful.

I am off prompt this week but still writing faithfully …
Hello to all on my first WI Friday! If you like bad poetry, be sure to visit my blog where I scribbled on the theme of “faithful.” It’s meant to be lighthearted.

I did something that is unchartered ground for me, a political post. That’s why its late, it took some research…lol
Hello, folks – –
This is my second time to participate in WI. I posted an allegory on an obscure meaning of the word “fantasy.”
Cheers!
Hello Islanders,
‘Anyone care for a jog around the island?
A plan, faithfully followed:

another one…this time for faithful…

so late it is almost next week… this one is about fantasy; about collaging with a collaged item
http://ascenderrisesabove.com/wordpress/?p=3443
Here’s one under the “Fantasy” label, although it’s not a fantasy for my protagonist.

a twist on the word “faithful” – as some things always are — in flash fiction form.

I am terribly late but very faithful.
