Carry On Tuesday # 186

May I wish you all a Happy New Year, and thank you most sincerely for your continued support.

This week I've taken our prompt from a topical poem by George Bernard Shaw

I have wiped the slate clean

Use it in any way you wish within your short story or poem then leave your URL with Mister Linky.

Our Christmas prompt comes from that all time favourite song When a Child is Born

A ray of hope flickers in the sky

Carry On Tuesday # 184

As I looked out of my window earlier today, I saw a beautiful rainbow. It gave me an idea for this week's prompt.

We have as our prompt the title and first line of a poem attributed to the oddly named Wishes for Sale.

If I could catch a rainbow

Use it as you wish at the start or within your gem. Leave your URL with Mister Linky as usual. All that remains then is to say 'hi' to your fellow writers and see what they've made of it!

Over at Carry On Tuesday Plus you can read the poem and if it takes your fancy, listen to Peggy Lee singing 'Sing a Rainbow'.

Carry On Tuesday # 183

Thanks to everybody who contributed to Carry On while I was away. I got back from my travels a few hours ago, so normal service will now be resumed!

They say that home is where the heart is, so this week I've searched out a poem which has this as its theme. It's by Catlin L Crawford and I've used its title ....

When I think of home

Use it as you will in your short story or poem then leave your URL with Mister Linky. A visit to your fellow contributors will I'm sure be appreciated.
