Prompt & Link: “Faithful”

May 8, 2008

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…

  14. Wrote this a couple of days ago, but it seems appropriate for the “Faithful” prompt:

    Stonework


  15. 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!


  16. 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.

  31. 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.
