How do you think of glory? As praise, honor, admiration, or distinction, accorded by common consent to a person or thing? As fame? As a praiseworthy quality? Perhaps as a flower or flag.
We're looking forward to receiving the gifts of your creative minds.
Here's what Gautami offers us:
dawn casts a shadow
over valleys, mountains
morning's glory
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
child's laughter
touching cores of soul
glory of angels

Good morning everybody! I am finding tanka easier to write. I am going to focus on the art of tanka and haiku from now on. I'm beginning to understand them. A bit. Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteSpring and new life are the focus of my post.
ReplyDeleteI hope mine is okay. These things sort of pop out at me.
ReplyDeleteYour haiku are beautiful! Precise images! Mine are up here
ReplyDeleteI've re-done my link as Gautami has pointed out that it was going to 'Stranded'. Some people seem to have managed to find the right poem despite this. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnother prompt that inspired me. However, every prompt seems to inspire me! and I love reading everyone else's inspirations
ReplyDeleteglorious!the winter is
ReplyDeletegone!(from the weather ie!)
This is an excellent prompt. I love your choice of photos, Morning Glory's are so beautiful. The most amazing blue!
ReplyDeleteThe glory of flowers is what I am writing about. Thank you for the idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this one, Gautami!
ReplyDeleteMorning Glory - an old song ...
This week, mine is traditional rhymed verse.

Glory to the great wide blue ...
ReplyDeleteI didn't write anything this week, but am sharing with you a metrical version of Psalm 148, written in 66. 66. 88 meter. We enjoy singing this Psalm, which speaks of God's GLORY in creation, to the tune Darwall, which I am going to attempt to place on the post, too (haven't done this before).
ReplyDeleteI'll be back this evening to check out all of your offerings. :)
simple and beautiful, excellent.
ReplyDeleteOPEN LETTER- TO ANYONE WHO’S WILLING to understand!]
ReplyDeletemy dear osi minds,
i joined this forum -because i liked it.
and why do i write this letter?because on participation i discovered that in this open forum of creative minds the comments and responses to all the contributions are most often goody goody and nice,no criticism please!Not for a moment i am suggesting that the responses should be hostile or abusive.Far from it!. i am only saying that the style of ‘my own ‘ commenting on the OSI POSTS has been rather unconventional so far.But never done with an intent to outshine or overshadow anyone. i only felt that the Writers and artists, would acknowledge spark for spark,fire for fire.
ALL that i am saying now is that if u find my inputs offensive,overdone,unnecessary,just say that u want me to keep my gab shut,[can i not expect at least this of u as Creative People!]..and i shall conform to the regimented code of-
‘wonderful,lovely,nice’..style reactions.[but,i would actually feel hurt if u do not honestly open ur heart about what u don’t enjoy/like in my (usually senseless) scribblings!].Congratulations,on the award from ‘Sacred Ruminations’! till then..as always../z.g.
I am afraid I have a bit of writers block in this Prompt.
ReplyDeletelove-bd
I've highlighted a bit of history this morning at Small Reflections in my OSI haiku, and I'll still considering possibilities for my OSI post at Sacred Ruminations.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Back again with a different 'take' on this week's prompt at Sacred Ruminations. I hope you'll visit each of mine ... as I visit yours this week ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
z.g. don't change your words! You are so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteI do fall into the category of 'beautiful work' because everyone inspires me and I do think their work is beautiful.
...back in the saddle again... was outta pocket for a few days traveling... forever onward w/pen in hand!!! purpose
ReplyDeleteDEAR OSI ADMINISTRATORS,
ReplyDeletei am to inform u that the comments page on -"just paisley" is showing A gross malfunction,and is switching/interchanging the names of the commenters/commentators therein.for example A)striking!! B)">..amazing how my comment got interchanged with
mybellavia’s?”striking!!” was what i said!and i never use a smiley icon as shown above..
and C)..there is something wrong with the display on ur comments page please.as pointed
out above “striking” and “>..amazing…..smiley icon as shown above..”were comments made by me ie zoya gautam.kindly check whether this needs to be reported.obliged..z.g."/ -WHICH HAPEEN TO BE MY COMMENTS ARE BEING REPRESENTED AGAINST SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME AND COMMENTS NOT MADE BY ME AT ALL ARE BEING ATTRIBUTED TO ME.[same applies to the others]
I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A CYBERSPACE ISSUE THAT REQUIRES UR ATTENTION.[this is happening in respect of the "glory"prompt hosted by OSI.]{FOR THE KIND NOTICE OF ALL CONCERNED IN PUBLIC INTEREST}
APRIL 20.2008/SUNDAY/Z.G.{zoya gautam}
Zoya: I looked very carefully at Paisley's page and it says you typed "striking" in the comment, not Bellavia. Is this what you wrote? I'm having a bit of a problem understanding the problem.
ReplyDeleteBut be assured there is no cyber attack going on. All is secure with comments. I'll be awaiting your response so I can look into it further.
Andree
hi andree,
ReplyDeleteaprreciate the more than quick response. ur reply is reassuring and i assume it to be a technical hitch.kind regards,
as always..z.g.
I'm sorry ... I added Week 8's link here just now. Sigh! It's 5:40am in So Cal and I need coffee ... I'll put it in correct place and then finish my 2nd piece on my other blog.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
