Your prompt for Tuesday August 9th
This week I am indulging myself with the opening line of Rupert Brooke's poem The Soldier in which he expresses movingly his love of England
If I should die, think only this of me
Use all or part of it within your poem or prose then leave the url of your piece with Mister Linky. A comment would also be appreciated.
To read The Soldier and listen to Elgar’s quintessentially English composition Nimrod from the Enigma Variations, visit Carry On Tuesday Plus
Ok smarty .....where is the linky thingy???????
ReplyDeleteJust checking to see if you were paying attention. Actually I had a date at the pub; I was late and I clean forgot! Had a great time - am I forgiven?
ReplyDeleteBut of course! Was she any good?

Wow, this is scratching for a heart-breaking scene for me. :)
ReplyDeleteawesome inspirations.
ReplyDeleteI somehow managed to get something where this fitted into quite nicely.. thank you :)
ReplyDeleteHaving just experienced a serious illness that left me hospitalized; this prompt gave me pause to imagine what would be said if I really was no longer here. I suppose I should give this to my husband. Thanks for giving me a reason to ponder my life.

though technically i did use the words 'i', 'die', 'me' i really didn’t use the quote, but rather the theme “if you kill me, my memory will haunt you” ~ i think it ties in. morbidly, it's true. {smile}
ReplyDeletewhen I finally got around to checking the carry-on,I'd had a bad day; the piece of writing was so appropriate to how I was feeling!
