Prompt #47, It’s Post Your Poems Day!
Musty Minutes
So does “Musty Minutes” conjure time spent in an attic? Or some scent of memory? Where does the two word phrase take you? Now’s time to say and share with us your result. Dust off your thoughts in a poem!
Don’t have a poem yet? Perhaps read a few done by others here, be inspired. There’s still plenty of time to discover a poem for yourself!
Leave the links to your poems in the comments of this post, then go visit your fellow writers’ sites and read their work. Remember to leave only positive comments in the spirit of sharing and not critiquing. We look forward to reading your poems!
**********
Please remember to include a link with your blog poem post that links right back to here, this “Post Your Poems Day”, so that others reading your poem can also share in this community poem experience – maybe even someone new to We Write Poems!
If you are new to WWP, please be welcome to look around and read. The full prompt description you can find under “Recent Posts” on the top right of our page.
Our apology and thanks to you all for your patience and participation here this week. We lost the internet connection for a while so were late getting this response to prompt posted for you. (And big thanks to Irene for stepping in, getting the job done for us all.) ~neil

Here’s what I came up with this week:

Thanks for the prompt!
I like the sound of the words, and allowed a bit of free association (and the weather) to lead me to a poem about spring (almost).
Thanks

Serendipity is a lovely thing. Here is my poem:
I did spend some “musty minutes” clearing …paper! Serendipity indeed.
On a paperless trail

I was surprised that I came up with something for this prompt. I spent some time looking at those two words before the pen began to move. LOL

Those “musty minutes” took me wa-a-ay back to the 1930’s!

Marion, I tried very hard to leave a comment on your blog, but gave up after 20 minutes’ struggle with the cranky log-in system. I found your poem very moving, and a well-told story. Thank you.
Here is my poem, thanks for the prompt.

A curious prompt! It resulted in this: Maidenhair
This one came fast and immediate

A sonnet of musty minutes.
My musty muse didn’t respond to “musty minutes.” But I did write a Limerick Ode to National Poetry Month in a post that provides some info about celebratory contests and participating prompt sites.
I’d missed the prompt, but have today written a poem that might fill it obliquely, though the minutes are rather more dusty than musty. Forgive me.
“musty” is such a stuffy, fusty, moldy old word
U-Turn in Pastel Leathers
I wrote one called “the heiress”

Here’s mine, it may be unclear but it’s all about how pasts revisits us now and then and I do believe it’s proof the world is spinning.

Just a note to let you know that, while we are not posting daily NAPOWRIMO 2011 prompts at Writer’s Island, we are opening a “Free Write” prompt each day of April, and invite you to post any poem you wish that you’ve written that day…
Oh yes! I’ll do that. Thank you Rob. We Write Poems will carry on its business-as-usual weekly prompt.
