The Think Tank Thursday #85 Strings

I thought of a few ideas this week for our prompt. This one kept coming to mind. Our prompt for this week is #85 Strings. When I think of strings, I think of music, connections, and matters that tug at one's heart.

"Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string."

~Pele

"But the lover's power is the poet's power. He can make love from all the common strings with which this world is strung."

~Amelia Barr

"We are only puppets, our strings are being pulled by unknown forces."

~Georg Buchner

I want you to think about strings. I use to play Cat's in the Cradle, when I was a kid. I think of brown paper packages tied up with strings. C'mon I know you know this song, these are a few of "My Favorite Things" by Julie Andrews, in the movie "The Sound of Music". The strings of a cobweb, the string section of instruments, how unique their sound. Perhaps you will think of flying a kite.. So write a poem that you can tie a memory to with strings!   Did I string you along... ;D

If you have a prompt idea (even a Music or Film inspired one) that you would like to suggest or share with us please send it to poetsunited@ymail.com . We keep a folder set aside with all your suggestions and just might use it one day.
