Color Burst - Green (Nature), Echoes in the Water (Gladden River), Of the Sea (Fisherman), Shirish (Mathom), Snippets of Verse (what are hoary flakes, anyway, and what do they have to do with Elvish light? *puzzled*)
I'll sleep on it and see what I can get in the morning! :)
Hmm, I've got Fisherman also, plus pantoum for poetic forms and "And the runaway honeysuckle that no one will ever trim again." I've never written a pantoum -- I think that should be fun to try. But right now I'm so far behind I'll just be happy to finish something. :)
Hoary means white, so I was going to guess that hoary flakes meant snowflakes, but I looked up the context (it's from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"):
Beyond the shadow of the ship, I watched the water-snakes: They moved in tracks of shining white, And when they reared, the elfish light Fell off in hoary flakes.
So it sounds to me like they're swimming and leaving a wake in the water, and then they stick their heads up and scatter bits of foam that sparkle in the light? That's my best guess, anyway. But of course you can interpret the line however you want for the prompt.
Oops - posted that reply to the wrong day, it's March 9 when I have no prompts. March 8 has some good ones: B is for Boy (Bregalad), Alternate Viewpoints (Of Turin Turambar), and especially Write What You Know (think of your favorite place in M-E -- what would be the *worst* thing about living there?)
