Carry On Tuesday # 145

In 1936 W.H. Auden wrote a short poem which was to become known as Funeral Blues. Some 70 years later it reduced millions of people, me included, to tears when it featured in the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral. Our prompt this week is its first line

Stop all the clocks

Use it at the start or within your piece, then leave your URL with Mister Linky. A comment would be appreciated.

Carry On Tuesday # 143

I came across a poem called In the Park by John Koethe and I thought that the first few words would provide us with a perfect prompt for this week's challenge.

This is the life I wanted, and I could never see

Use some or all of these words at the start or within your creation them leave your URL with Mister Linky. A comment would also be appreciated!
