Prompt #6 for 2011: Beguile

Welcome to Writer’s Island.

We are pleased to now be in our fifth (5th) year here on the Island, providing writing prompts. New prompt(s) are posted every Saturday at 12:01 AM, U.S. East Coast Time. Consider the prompt in depth, then let inspiration carry you.

••> The sixth prompt for 2011 is “BEGUILE”.

As you contemplate its many meanings, such as entice, lure, charm, captivate, enthrall, fascinate, mesmerize, etc. — let the word beguile spark your muse… or choose to go in your own direction with your piece this week. Just let yourself go with whatever it is that moves you to write.

Relax, respond to the prompt when you’re ready — or just leave a comment to say hi! As always, welcome to the the Island!!! 😉
