Our prompt for last week was “at 3:00 a.m.” Our winner is Bec Thomas, who sent in three spectacular photos. Check out more of Bec’s work at her blog and website. Bec’s winning trio, for which she receives a $10 amazon.com gift certificate, are 1) Lunar Eclipse 2) Moon and Venus 3) Eclipse of the Moon:

We have a poem from Cathy Coley, too, who is clearly moving toward a creative bender. Go, Cathy!

At 3 am

I bet you thought
something precious like
kicks of tiny feet
and baby nuzzling
woke me
for a late night feeding
in the still dark room.

well, that, too, but
the thunderstorm’s music
was more melodic
than wagner,
more booming than peer gynt.
and the rain, the rain’s
thousand little notes upon the house
more welcome than Mozart.

Lastly, my haiku:

At 3:00 a.m.

In darkness, each small
sound gains unwanted meaning
and my mind runs loose

This week’s prompt: “Wings”

Use the prompt however you like. All media are welcome. Please e-mail your entries to creativereality@live.com by midnight on Tuesday, July 1. The winning entry receives a $10 gift certificate to amazon.com. Writers should include their submission directly in the body text of their e-mail. Visual artists and photographers should attach an image of their work as a jpeg. Enter as often as you like; multiple submissions for a single prompt are welcome. There is no limit to how many times you can win the weekly contest, either. (You do not have to be a contributor to this blog in order to enter. All are invited to participate.) Remember, the point here is to stimulate your output, not to create a masterpiece. Keep the bar low and see what happens. Dusting off work you created previously is OK too.
