Mary Ann, I am heartened by the fact that you did a little research and used a Tennyson poem you were not familiar with before. That is often how I do this challenge (for my own writing). I sit with a stack of poetry books and go through them looking for a line or lines that resonate with me at THAT particular moment. I agree with the idea of stepping out of the familiar! That is what I had hoped would happen.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-58967253806192256452012-02-25T07:47:14.025-06:002012-02-25T07:47:14.025-06:00Oh, I really liked this prompt, Mary!

Not only did I find inspiration, but it also made me do a little research --- I wasn't familiar with the Tennyson poem that I used, and that made it even better for me.
