Brian Miller, nineacresdesigns, Photography, poetry prompt, tracey grumbach, write something already
Welcome to Poetics! And happy Easter weekend to those of you celebrating and for the rest I hope it is a beautiful Spring day.
Today, I am featuring the photographic art of a blog friend Tracey Grumbach. She has originally sent these to me to write about, but has graciously opened it up to our whole dVerse family.
Tracey hails from Maryland, a former home to me and has recieved a bit of acclaim for her works as well. Just jump over to her site to see some more goodness.
So here is how this works:
- write poem based on one of these pictures and post it to your webpage.
- be sure to include credit to Tracey for the image
- Click the Mr. Linky buttom below and enter your name and direct url to the post.
- Read what others wrote based on the prompt.
Reminder: If you post a poem that does not reference one of Tracey’s pictures, your link will be deleted. We have been culling those that do not post to the prompt already, but in case you were wondering why you were getting no visits. There you have it.
Have a great Saturday. ~Brian

Fantastic photos! Huge thanks to Tracey for sharing and a big up to Brian for the introduction…as to the write…well, quite frankly…It’s ALL SAM’S FAULT! I’m still on a high from FormForAll! 🙂 Wishing you all chocolate and sunshine…Happy Easter!
you’re doing wonders with the form tash…kudos… i didn’t manage to write a single halfway acceptable quatrain…ha
ha…was excited to see another rubaiyat from you tash…hopefully not melting chocolate in the sunshine…smiles….
and tracey will be stopping in shortly….she is on a 5 hour trip back home but will be around this evening and tomorrow….
Keep this up, Tash, and you’ll merit your own jewelled Rubaiyat book 🙂
or at least a merit badge…smiles….

woohoo…someone will be eating good…and how cool of her…know you are excited to see her as well…have fun claudia…big smiles.
Yay! Congratulations, Claudia. Enjoy your time together. 🙂
Hope no offense is taken regarding Tracy’s picture. Please let me know if it’s not acceptable. I am linking today my Easter poem. The photos are exceptional. Wishing everyone a fabulous holiday weekend.
have a great easter gay!
Thanks for hosting, brian, and thanks to Tracey for sharing her work with us. I’m out of pocket for awhile but back later to read–and a Happy Easter weekend to all.
joannie…left a comment as your link did not link to a post but your web page and did not know which you wrote to one of the pics…link back to the post or drop me an email…
thanks for linking back in joannie…fixed it to go right to the post…
hello Brian, goodnight brian, thank you Tracy.
sleep well…glad you picked the community picture….first to do it and now all the pics have had something written about them…
Tracey, your images are truly inspiring, swirling up muses in all guises. I went to your site to pick my prompt, and a sweet and sad poetic emerged; THE ALBERTS.
they are really cool glenn…and nice pen yourself with the two chairs…
sliding out to dinner and will check back in shortly to see what others have come up with…
Hi Brian, Tracey’s images are gorgeous and inspiring.
they are…and great to see you susie! have a great easter! perfect appropriate write for the holiday!
Thank you for the wonderful prompt Brian. I was actually drawn to one of her pictures, but I couldn’t link it. So I altered a picture that you used for your post. I hope you (and Tracey) don’t mind the sombre mood…it is Black Saturday on my shore.
Wishing you and everyone at D’verse – Happy Easter ~
Grace
happy easter to you as well grace…and good job on the form in your poem
hey just got back from dinner and a little catching up to do…one my way over grace…happy easter
Hi Brian, and Thanks Tracy. Lovely photos all. Mine is (I hope) fun, but a bit longer than I like to make them. (Sorry.) Though you’ll get the gist soon enough.
A beautiful beautiful day. I hope all are enjoying! K.
it is funny k.. much enjoyed…Connect(itcut) me…haha
k…yours is awesome…really enjoyed your 13 ways…

Yours was definitely one of my faves, K.
ok…managed to catch the first twenty entries..but now my eyes are giving in….see you tomorrow poets..
sleep well claudia…
Thanks Tracey, hhad a look at your site and you have some lovely photographs there.
I had an idea from Brian and Claudia about what I wanted to write. (Thanks to both for posting yours early, it does help to give us a bit of a clue as to the subject we are going to get later in the day) 😉
Have a great weekend all and a lot of fun at the pub.
smiles…we try to give a little heads up just to get the poetic juices going…hope you are having a great day bren…
What spectacular photos! Really enjoyed working on this prompt. 🙂
nice wisdom you shared in yours too…
Brian, thanks for the poetics… and Tracey, those are just wonderful pictures, it’s so easy to conjure up narratives and lyrics behind them. Looking forward to reading what comes out of these!
most def sam….in the first twenty all four pics find a home…and i am sure there will be all the more before we are done…smiles.
I’ve been checking out all the poems to see which of the four was used the least, but they’re all used quite a lot!
Thank you for the great prompt. Things are quite in upheaval here and so it will take me longer to get around to reading. I look forward to it, see you all soon :).
hope all is well anna…tight take on the pic today…
and for those participating, might be contacting you via email in the coming days for some further ‘exposure’ of several of the poems…still getting details on it now…
Wow! So excited to read what everyone comes up with. I am working my way to read and comment on each and every one. So glad Brian invited me to be a part of this!
thank you tracey…as you read in the comments you pics are amazing…might be a bit of a smaller crowd with the holiday this week, but def some quality stuff…and very cool that you are out there reading the poets too…that is awesome.
Thanks so much for sharing your photographs for the prompt, Tracey. Beautiful work. I also checked out your web site and loved it.
Brian,
The bird image is drawing me to write a personification as part of the Raven Series. Since it will be part of the epic fantasy that my collab partner and I are presenting entirely in verse, it may not make complete sense without background information. I will work on it and link nonetheless. 😉 If you don’t get it now, you will when you buy the book. smiles
Tracey, wonderful photography. Thank you for sharing.
oh put me in line for it…smiles….look forward to it….
speaking of ravens…and then of course Poe…have you seen the preview for the movie with john cusack playing edgar allen poe?
I have! It is on my “must watch” list. I have been a Poe fan for as long as I can remember.
saw the theatre preview the other day…have hopes…smiles.
Done and linked. Thank you for the inspiring image, Tracey 😉
Hmmm, I’m not coming up with anything decent for this one. I’ve tried, but I may have to sit out this time.
we are open all day tomorrow so let the muse play with it over night…you never know…smiles.
catching beth’s and then hitting the sack folks…the bunny has come and gone and i have a house full of hidden eggs…and boys that will be up at the crack of dawn to search for them….
see you in the AM….
That is the Easter Bunny’s job. Are you the Easter Bunny? 😉 Goodnight, Brian
you know my grandfather was always whistling for the easter bunny to come…and i was in awe…
hey i can whistle…smiles.
oh you don’t have to whistle…just write…and i’m in awe…smiles
heh you know the feeling is mutual…smiles.
Great prompts brian!! Thanks for the opportunity to share!!!!
Nice topic….liked it
-Li’l Poet NJ
you touched a serious topic in your poem..
and set it to a killer beat….
just read through the overnights and really love what you’ve come up with..nice…and happy sunday all…
Apologies for the non-linking links. I can find no way to amend them. It seems that friends will have to put them in manually – unless some more clued-up person can suggest a remedy. I’ve checked the typing repeatedly.
no sweat david….happens to the best of us…esp with blogger mucking around….
good morning poets….my kids are hopped up on sugar and egg searching…looks like we have some good over nights….be around shortly to check them out….
Happy Easter …really late submitting something but such a wonderful Picture …had to be done ( thank you Tracey ) Hope everyone has a choc filled weekend x
happy easter! smiles…try not to hit the chocolate too hard kez…smiles…loved the encouragement in yours….
Jumping in to try something new… wishing everyone a wonderful holiday weekend.
hey kelly hoping one for you too…just got home and on my way over…
Thanks to Brian and Tracey for the invitation and the images. My muse has been on strike for a wee while, but prompts like this seem to have awoken her!
booyah that is what i like to hear…smiles.
This cherry is so sweet I had to take two bites at it 🙂
ha your second one is pretty funny…
I did a quick poem even though this is Sunday and it was meant for Saturday! But hey, I was out on a boat… 🙂
nice…out a boat is not a bad place to be…and nice inspiring write…
Happy Easter!
happy easter….if stu was not eating all the creme eggs it would be nicer…and dont let me point the finger at tash either…smiles…..
I hope it was all right to post today. Thank you for sharing Ms. Grumbach’s photos. They are gorgeous (and I’ve been having fun reading the responses, too).
Happy Easter, happy Spring!
oh most def…we are open all day…and you are always welcome ds…nice write you brought with you as well…
i got in by the wee last hours, but closing time’s closing time and if i’m in i’m in, so serve me a round of that stout verse in a long stem thick glass mug of flavored words, and i might leave you a tip to go with your fancy free drinks 😉
