Hello Again Islanders!
It’s Tuesday, 12:01 AM on the U.S. east coast. As promised, here is the post to which you can submit your links in the comments section. Remember, only post the link to your work here — as a ‘comment’, and please make certain your link is accurate.
If you’re new, we’re thrilled you’ve come — all the details of ‘How To Come Ashore’ are posted in the sidebar. If you’ve returned, we all welcome you back!
Writers Island is your island. Please feel free to let us all know what you want and need on the island to make it a nurturing experience. Your suggestions will be submitted to the island community for consideration.
Now, find yourself a comfortable place to settle in, there is food and drink for everyone — the kind that nourishes your spirit. Then later, take a walk on the beach, and read your fellow islanders’ contributions to this week’s prompt, “The Gift”.
The weather is always beautiful here on the island, and the breezes are aways cool… so please, relax, express yourself, and let these cool breezes carry your words.
ENJOY — fellow islanders! 😉
and here we go…

Happy Tuesday!
here is my two cents: http://watercolorblues.wordpress.com/2007/09/18/the-gift-writers-island/
Hi all. There are some posts I would like to comment on but the comment section won’t allow my comments because I don’t have a google account. I use wordpress – 😦
The best gifts often don’t cost a thing. Read about four of minehere
liked the prompt. got totally sidetracked, flipping through old poetry notebooks and journals, remembering a forgotten time.

Here’s one for my wife on her birthday.

Greetings Islanders –
We enjoyed another nice turn out for our Tuesday beach party.
I hope we all continue to mingle and share our thoughts about “The Gift”. It was very interesting seeing the variety of ‘takes’ we came up with for this prompt.
Well my fellow beachcombers, until Saturday brings another mystery to explore for next Tuesday’s sandy soirée — party on… 😉
I really enjoyed doing this one.Here is my link

This weeks prompt had my mind jump back imediately to
when my son Michael brought me flowers for the first time

Sending bloglove to all my fellow Islanders.
Here is my take on ‘The Gift’

Great prompt.

Ahoy –
Some of our fellow islanders thought that Tuesday, 12:01 AM, U.S. East Coast Time was a ‘deadline’ for posting your links. That is incorrect. It is not a ‘deadline’, it is simply the time that the ‘link post’ opens.
You can place your link anytime after it opens. The closer to the opening of the ‘link post’ that you place your link, the better chance you provide for more of your fellow islanders to visit you.
Trust that clears up any confusion. 😉
A little late to the party, but I’ve got a post up for this prompt now.
