Ah yes... the February thaw. It gives us hope that winter will be over soon and makes us crabby when winter returns... lol I'm guilty of yelling at bulbs that want to sprout too early too, although with not quite the same phrasing. Thanks for the giggle.

My BFF and I binge watched most of Schitt's Creek during my recent vacation. I thought it was absolutely hysterical.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked them

This is a great selection, Addy. I think you did all the scenes justice. Dead Poet's Society is one of my all-time favorite films, so I have to say I loved #10. Great job
-
As Mac said, your poems always carry such an emotional punch. The second one was haunting. The ones showing relationship struggles are poignant, yet give me hope. I love the last line of the April 4th poem. "Still our hands entwine". It's been a long time since I was in Toronto, but I can picture your neighborhood clearly even if I don't know the exact place you're describing. Nice week one!

Thanks so much for the high praise, Mac. I had a lot of fun with the 'Careful' prompt. I'm glad you could relate to my happy place. Thanks for the comprehensive review, Emi. Glad you liked them

I have the prompts emailed to me from a woman in the Hudson Valley. If you're interested in checking them out, PM me with your email address and I will add you to my list of people I forward them to.

Happy Birthday!! I hope you have an awesome day! Here's a math cake for you, featuring pi

The list of mistakes prompt should be interesting. It's going to be hard narrowing it down... lol

These are all great offerings, Parker. I'm glad so many people are using the prompts I forwarded. It's so interesting to read the different takes on them. I really liked the "Careful ties his hat on" prompt. The second six-line poem really stood out to me. You described this week's weather perfectly! I hope Friday was the last of our snow. I liked how you tied three haiku together for the Nature Guide prompt. I especially like the 'heralds of the green' line. There's a typo in that one that you missed. It should be 'bright'. The April 6th poem was brilliant. You had me guessing about the chair right until the end. I loved the 'warning' poem, also. You described me to a T, only sub glasses for car keys... I look forward to seeing what this week offers

Thanks so much, Addy Your input has been invaluable.

This is another one of my favorite prompts so far from this year. I've written two so far. I liked your take on it.

April 5 : Words are not just Words
Valkyrie commented on Emi GS's story chapter in April 5 : Words are not just Words
What Parker and tim said... Good job BTW, it's nice seeing how others interpret the same prompt. I love reading the different takes on the same theme. -
April 4 : Mother Nature Calling
Valkyrie commented on Emi GS's story chapter in April 4 : Mother Nature Calling
You did a great job with this prompt. The haiku is one of your best. Very clear and succinct. The longer work expands the haiku nicely. Now I feel like I need to write a longer companion piece to my own response to this prompt. lol Nicely done -
The elegy was quite sad, which it should be, so you accomplished your task there. Kudos to you for writing two in one day

April 2 : Lazy's Flirt Story
Valkyrie commented on Emi GS's story chapter in April 2 : Lazy's Flirt Story
This has been my favorite prompt so far. I could write so many of them! You wove yours together to tell a clear story. Nice job -
I really like the form of this also, especially the single word at the end of each stanza. Nice beginning! And Happy Belated Birthday and Retirement to your pappa!

Thanks so much, Parker

Thanks so much I think Parker's nefarious plot is to infect all of us on GA with math... Thanks for the comments, tim. I'm glad you liked the 'Careful' prompts. I had a lot of fun with those.

Day 1 Ruins Stone towers lie recumbent No longer reaching For blue, but consumed by green. Day 2 “Careful ties his hat on…” prompt. Write a series of short stanzas that personify adjectives or abstract nouns. Awkward stands in the corner, wringing his hands instead of mingling. Confused thinks Sarcasm is cruel. Careless forgets that words have power. Grief mourns the loss of friendship. Day 3 Circular Reasoning
-
That's a really good idea, Kitt. I am very private about my writing and activity on GA, so very few people IRL know about it. I am friends with some GA people on FB, so they would know if anything happened to me. I have been contemplating drawing up a will, so having a provision that GA is notified might not be a bad idea.
-
You are right, way too many of us can relate to this poem. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. The poem was extremely well-written.

I love them all, Addy What a great idea to pick a theme for the month! The tribute to Echo was very moving. I love #5. The revisions are perfect. Great job! I can't wait to see what you come up with next
