The last set of prompts had the biggest participation in a long while - thank you to everyone who had a go at them. I think you will all agree that the standard was superb and the variety of topics quite amazing. So many different takes on the same words, something that always fascinates me. Any way well done to you all.
I really am trying to make these a little difficult to make you all stretch your wings, and yet every time, our poets seem to manage with consummate ease, to weave a wonderful story around the words I have chosen. I know that these will suffer a similar fate
at last with velvet sandals shod
the scent of the dew was sweet
the lash of a whip will scald and sear
in drink he strives to drown the thoughts
and man's to blame for the bleaching bones
with a sound of mocking laughter
Go to it my fellow scribes

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.
