Welcome to the Picture it & Write creative writing exercise. I invite people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language (please provide a translation). Anyone who wants to join in, is welcome. This photograph will be reblogged under Ermisenda on tumblr and added to the Picture it & Write gallery on Facebook and Pinterest.
Please continue to write however you’re inspired, but add a tag to the beginning of your post if there’s mature content in order to keep Picture it & Write an engaging event for all of our followers.

“I used to have a beautiful and expansive vocabulary. Then I took two years of calculus and I think the math crowded the English out of my brain.” Maria complained to her tutor while they prepared for the SATs.
“Don’t be silly,” Emmy encouraged. “Your brain is much more expansive than you realize, always growing to accommodate more information.”
Maria rolled her eyes. “Maybe… but if that’s true it’s like that file cabinet in Bruce Almighty. You pull it open and it expands forever, but it doesn’t mean you can find what you’re looking for.”
Emmy smiled. “No more stalling, what does copaibas mean?”
–Eliabeth Hawthorne

SAPIENT MISTRESS
by oaplascencia
In the Garden of Knowledge
Lives a sapient mistress
Though she is blind to the world
She’ll stop to hear you confess
And impart her sage advice
But on a limited scope
For her great expertise lies
In that of Faith, Love, and Hope.
That’s interesting. Expertise limited to positive aspects.
THANK YOU for the visual inspiration!
Faith, love and hope are what is best in life. I think that she would be kept very busy if she only limits herself to them. Good piece!
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it. I’ll be lurking about your blog from time to time…hope you don’t mind.

OK I freely admit I had to look up Copaibas, useful stuff that! It is impossible to know everything though you can know an awful lot. I think the filing cabinet is a good analogy especially if it has an index where the ink fades if you don’t regularly look at it.
Anyway here is mine https://ermiliablog.wordpress.com/2014/09/07/picture-it-write-41/
Enjoy
Joe, you’ve put a link to ermelia’s blog and not yours… 🙂
Oh my! I’d lose my own head if it wasn’t securely attached! Here it is http://joe2stories.wordpress.com/2014/09/07/picture-it-and-write-minds-within-minds/

Short, sweet and entertaining. ❤
Is that little heart for me?
Gee, thanks!

Never heard the word, Eliabeth, so looked it up. Closest I could get:
Copaibas – (an aromatic resin obtained from certain South American trees (genus Copaifera) of the caesalpinia family: formerly used in medicine.)

Loved your take on the image, and love the purpose behind it. Here’s hoping for some positive outcomes for the girls.

To be honest, I just did a search on Scrabble Word Finder for 8 letter words, spun the mouse, and searched for something that sounded like an SAT word. Your definition sounds right to me!

I noticed that my post pinged on yours, but wanted to make it all official. Your picture is exactly what I needed to describe the creatures in my head from this story I started previously. Thank you!

Here is my response to your interesting prompt~ Have a good week~ 🙂
A Head That Halfway Looks Like a Coffee Cup
Inside this mind you will find layers of wonderful things; Ideas, dreams, and songs to sing that all require nurturing. Sometimes though when times are bad, when dreams are dead and songs are sad, when the memory of better days is lost, forgotten, and far away. Remember that you woke up today. ¡Arriba! ¡Ándale!
