You may use my photography I offer here - if so, please use the photo with an archived challenge. These images are of my backyard birds who have been enjoying my suet feeders and photographed on our (so far) only day of snow fall.
Original poems only and link your specific post to Mr. Linky below. Make it clear which challenge you are resurrecting by including a link. Sharing poetry and commenting on the other poetic endeavors is what makes this a fun place to be. So please don't forget to return a few times and check out what is written.
1. Imagined by Grace O'Malley - "Format Challenge - Haiku"
2. "Kerry's Wednesday Challenge - Open Letters"
3. Fireblossom Friday - "Rhyme Royal & W. T. Benda"

I love the array of birds! Many thanks for another look at these challenges, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteWonderful.. how can I pass on a form challenge.. I will not be able to fit in the sweet birds Margret.. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe birds are delightful though my words are sorrowful today ~
ReplyDeleteWishing you all happy weekend from winter land ontario ~
Thanks for the prompt Margaret. I tweaked some traditional haiku. Hoping it doesn't get anyone feathers in a ruffle. But that wouldn't be bad either, come to think of it. Feels like Spring here on the West Coast in the States.
ReplyDeleteMy photos are always optional for this challenge.
ReplyDelete"anyone's" feathers! Typos might get someone's panties in a bunch. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, Margaret. I went back and chose the Rhyme Royal from your suggestions. Thanks for this! And I hope all the toads are keeping warm!
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was nice to find the Rhyme Royal challenge and not be restricted to iambic pentameter. I was also inspired by one of your birds (none of which we see in Australia) as well as by a conversation on facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteI chose Kerry's Open Letters prompt. Thanks for the way-back machine, Margaret ~
ReplyDeletewonderful prompt and I used all the three bird photos Margaret...they are beautiful...
ReplyDeleteThose photos are SO beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA lovely selection, and sequence of photographs, Margaret. Having done most of these, I chose an older challenge of Kerry's that I had missed, the triquain.
ReplyDeleteSubmitted one poem for the past 2 challenges-forgive me!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pics, Margaret--thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think combining prompts is great! I'll swing around tomorrow to visit and comment. Thanks for playing and feel welcome to keep posting poems.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this gathering of great challenges and your beautiful presentation in words and imagery, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteI had to grab some early creating time while it was quiet and I will catch up on the last batch to reciprocate comments for the last challenge throughout today!
Thank you, everyone for writing and supporting - this is a wonderful community. :)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret. I enjoyed this challenge. And I posted all three of your delightful bird pictures. Challenged I am as of late, things that take time are piling onto me.
ReplyDeleteSpent the weekend with our 5-year-old Grand-daughter. Mrs. Jim and I did. We really enjoyed that, she loves to have "sleep-overs" with Mimi and Papa. We took her home last night and walked her to school this morning.
Then we spent an hour and a half driving 70 miles through the outskirts of Houston. A third of it was on our newly being constructed Beltway, or Ring Road. That part was 80 mph.

Jim, I'm glad you were able to take the time to write. And thank you all for playing. I'll check back here in case there are any late entries.
