Prompt 157: Vellicate

Stacey of The Odd Inkwell brings us this week's prompt, vellicate, which means to

tickle: touch (a body part) lightly so as to excite the surface nerves and cause uneasiness, laughter, or spasmodic movements

• pinch: irritate as if by a nip, pinch, or tear; "smooth surfaces can vellicate the teeth"; "the pain is as if sharp points pinch your back"

Prompt 155: Incandescent

Thanks to Tammie Lee of Beauty Flows for this week's prompt, incandescent. Here are her artwork and poem:

her spirit told her

go slow

in doing so the world became

vital and exquisite

she left a shimmering trail as she wandered through life

for eons people followed

her incandescent paths

they found wonders they never knew

gems amongst wee tiny flowers

bugs that flew

shrooms that grew

a leisurely pace

reveals treasures

Prompt 154: Humility

Thanks to Robert of Daily Athens for this week's prompt, humility. Here are his poem and image:

hold on, hold on tight
life does not move back, ever
become load, lift up

Robert says: "This 'picture' was inspired by looking at a mother carrying her child upon her shoulders. Being a young father myself, the responsibility and work surely provided a heavy load, yet I have to admit, have lifted me up like nothing else.

'
And yes, Matth. 11:28-30 was in my mind as well.
