Thursday photo prompt: Sign #writephoto

Posted on March 14, 2019 by Sue Vincent

#writephoto

Something a bit different this week that I thought might be fun.

Use the image below as inspiration to create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… light or dark, whatever you choose, by noon (GMT)  Wednesday 20th March and link back to this post with a pingback to be included in the round-up.  There is no word limit and no style requirements, except to keep it fairly family friendly.

For visually challenged writers, the image shows a clouded sky beneath a full moon. There is a wordless sign showing only a pointed hat, of the kind often worn by wizards…

All posts will be featured in the round-up on Thursday March 21st at 10am GMT, linking back to the original posts of contributors. Throughout the week I will feature as many of the responses here on the Daily Echo as space allows and (more or less) in the order in which they come in.

Please note that I will be away from the computer a fair bit over the next couple of days so responses and reblogs may be delayed.

You can find all last week’s entries in the weekly round-up. Please visit and read the stories and poems and explore the sites of their writers. I will feature as many contributions as I can on the blog during the week.

Please link your post to this by creating a pingback. If you are unsure of how to create a pingback, Hugh has an excellent tutorial here.

Pingbacks need to be manually approved, so either check back to make sure that the pingback has appeared or simply copy and paste your link into the comments section of this post.

Feel free to use #writephoto logo or include the prompt photo in your post if you wish or you can replace it with one of your own to illustrate your work. Don’t forget to use the #writephoto hashtag in your title so your posts can be found.

The invitation is still open to all writephoto regulars to come and introduce themselves on the blog as my  guest!

Have fun!

    Ho strange, Sue. If I hadn’t read your description of the image, I’d have said the sign was a polar bear sitting on a block of ice in the sea. It’s strange that what our eyes see may not be what our brains think it is.

    Second contribution. This time using the polar bear (that I saw when I first looked at the photo) as my muse.
