The Thursday Think Tank - #48 Mirrors

Mirror mirror on the wall who is the… Oh sorry didn’t realize anyone was actually reading this. I promise I am not that conceited I was just trying to find a prompt this week for everyone. Luckily Madhumakhi sent me an email and suggested this one; mirrors. I thought it would be perfect for us to write about.

What do you think of when you see a mirror? Is it vanity or do you quickly fear breaking it and ending up with Seven years of bad luck? Me, I am a little more fantastical and imagine places in faraway lands with knights and maidens and dragons and…oh I’m slipping away again aren’t I? Let us just say that mirrors open up my imagination does it do the same to you?

This week before you sit down and attempt to write for this prompt step into your bathroom or look into your rear view maybe even pull out your compact and see what you first reflect upon (get it reflect? I know bad pun). But all kidding aside take a moment to look into a mirror. Do you see yourself or something else? Once you have done this write to your heart’s content. We hope this one really inspires you.

Once you have taken that trip into the looking glass and written about it please share it with us here so that we too can travel down that rabbit hole with you.

This week’s prompt, quote and photo was provided to us by Madhumati Manjunath .  Thank you  for an inspiring prompt and helping us out here at Poets United.  If you would like to know more about Madhumati please visit the blog below:
