I enjoy daily, weekly, and monthly prompts for sparking creativity among those of us that love to express ourselves. In fact, I participate in many of them myself. With that said, manning a weekly prompt takes dedication and time, which I have the dedication to but not the time.
Because I enjoy posting them, I am putting a new spin on my weekly prompts and that is they will be mostly unmoderated. I will be lurking around every now and then to enjoy your work as you do mine. Have fun and take care.
do we dare to share
extraneous ideas
only at midnight
How beautiful the silent hour, when morning and evening thus sit together, hand in hand, beneath the starless sky of midnight! – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Your Weekly Prompt – Midnight – August 19, 2021
This prompt will be mostly unmoderated.
Please keep it family-friendly.
Disrespectful and inappropriate comments will be removed.
This needs to be a safe and fun space for all.
There will be no Roundup.
Go where the prompt leads you and publish a post on your own blog that responds to the prompt.
To participate, link your blog to mine with a pingback. To do a Pingback: Copy the URL (the HTTPS:// address of my post) and paste it into your post. You may also place a copy of the URL of your post in the comments of the current week’s prompt.
It can be any variation of the prompt and/or image.
Please check out the comment links and pingbacks to view other posts inspired by today’s prompt.

Midnight. The witching hour. Okay that’s the first thought that formed in my mind.
Have a fabulous day, Eugenia. ♥
Yes, midnight is the witching hour, Sandee! Bwahahaha! You and yours have a great day, as well.

Thank you Eugi! I like your haiku 🙂 made me think about when we think 😉
Thank you! 😊
Light in the darkness has a positive impact that is otherwise taken for granted.
Yes, indeed!
Good idea! It takes away the pressure.
Absolutely, Reena! Now I can take my time and enjoy reading at my leisure.

“(No More) Midnite”
“We danced on the road
under the stars,
under the swollen full moon.
We spoke of Love,
we said we would never let go……
It was midnite…..
always…..
And then one nite
there was no midnite.
You were gone.
I’ve never danced again.”

When I am bound to be asleep even though I now am early to bed and early to rise
I am an early riser, as well, Derrick. However, I am not always early to bed. Thank you for commenting.
Lovely prompt and haiku and that’s a great idea, Eugi.
Thank you, Punam!
You are welcome.

Midnight… the first of several service calls… (hubby counts down the days to his retirement and a good full night’s sleep).
Be back with some thing for the illustration later 🙂
Your hubby is retiring? My hubby and I are both retired with no regrets. I hope all goes well.
We’ve got our insurance switched… Now he’s just counting down the days. I’ve sort of been retired for a while. But this last year and a half hubby has been working from home. Put just a little crimp in my alone time. But I’ll live 😉
I understand what you mean by alone time. It takes some adjusting.
It was a challenge over winter when he moved his ‘office’ upstairs and into my domain… and even more so when we shared the same table. He has/had calls where he wears a headset, but I can hear his half of the conversation… Good think I like lookin’ at him 😉

Wonderful poem, Eugi! I kept a notebook and a pen on my bedside table ready to write when I can’t sleep. Yes, lots of inspiration at midnight!
Thank you, Elizabeth! Midnight can be very magical.
