Don't know where they come from.<br /><br />Parsnip ~ I am finding it really challenging and fun, glad it shows!<br /><br />Erin ~ thank you.<br /><br />Janet ~ thank you.<br /><br />Titus ~ I don't think I've read The Scarlet Letter, so I don't know. <br /><br />Rachel ~ I'm pretty immersed in Ted Hughes, he's the first poet I read of my own volition and I stuck jealously to him for years. I did wonder if it was ok to use the word 'crow' at all given that he's made it so much his own. The prompts are getting harder: today's will take me hours of concentration.Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-26233231630862312082010-04-06T11:09:19.403+01:002010-04-06T11:09:19.403+01:00Good prompt...and I love the 'crow bar'......Good prompt...and I love the 'crow bar'...Ted Hughes memories...bashed into a new shape!<br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463471462522424732.post-48685522930541399592010-04-06T08:28:34.903+01:002010-04-06T08:28:34.903+01:00Made me think of The Scarlet Letter.
