A teardrop is insignificant in a pool of water, but it can touch the soul as it runs down someone’s face.
good luck.

-
sorry.
13 is taken. the ones that are not filled in yet are available. you're welcome to choose any other one.
-
-
Do I write it in here?
I'll take number 3 please. -
-
your prompt
I’m a wishful thinker with the worst intentions.
take it where you will. good luck.
-
-
I chose prompt number 13 I didn't know if you would need to know that it wasn't in the rules but i thought what the hey, i'll tell you anyway!
-
-
did you already have your poem submitted? if yours wasn't the one titled "sugar coated" (that person was the one who chose the prompt) then i'm afraid i'll have to ask you to choose another number and remove your other piece that used that prompt. the ones filled in are already reserved.
if the poem "sugar coated" was yours, then great job.
-
13 WAS already taken i'm afraid, but i still think it was a grand poem. perhaps you'd be willing to try a different prompt? i'm so so sorry for the mixup. i should have been a bit more specific.
-
-
Reservation for prompt 10 please

follow that link. that's your prompt.
-
-
i can't get the link to work, it tells me 'image not found' :[
-
-
that would be a problem. ok, go to photobucket, search for "diamonds" page one, 3rd row down, first image should be a lady with roses and champaign glasses. that one's your prompt. if you're dead set on an image prompt.
if you'd rather not do the work to see the picture, just use the word prompt diamonds. -
