Prompt & Link: “The Return”

9:00 AM Friday morning, May 23rd 2008, on the U.S. West Coast, is quickly approaching — so… here I am with a new Prompt! This week’s, and the thirty-sixth Writer’s Island prompt is: “The Return”.

That phrase paints some powerful and emotional images for me. Does “The Return” take you back in time? Maybe it inspires memories of joy, or sorrow — or anticipations of the future? Share with us what you envision.

This week the long-awaited movie, Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
inspires two Matinee Muse prompts — our fifteenth & sixteenth.
The first: “Legend”.
What larger than life, mythical figure or tale does this conjure forth
from the heroic depths of your imagination?
Or perhaps it is a more ominous vision.

The second: “Parallel Universe”.
What fantastical, mysterious tale of wonder, or perhaps foreboding,
does this stir in your soul?
Maybe it sparks a chilling personal experience or memory.

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 any one, or all, of this week’s prompts — or use your own, 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, revisit you with inspiration to write your very best — write from your heart! We can’t wait to see what you have for us…
