Here it goes.
My last #blueskyrelay #prompt for now.

I present you with a choice:
#iron which is supposed to repel the fair folk or:
#glimmer, little moments that spark joy like all your wonderful replies.

The prompt for the 18th November is #iron/#glimmer

Have fun, be kind and
#keepwriting ! ✨️✍️
"Cold iron" is historically believed to repel, contain, or harm ghosts, fairies, witches, and other malevolent supernatural creatures. This belief continued into later superstitions in a number of forms: • Nailing an iron horseshoe to a door was said to repel evil spirits or, later, to bring good luck. • Surrounding a cemetery with an iron fence was thought to contain the souls of the dead. • Burying an iron knife under the entrance to one's home was alleged to keep witches from entering. "Cold iron" is a substitute name used for various animals and incidents considered unlucky by Irish fishermen. A similar phenomenon has been found with Scottish fishermen. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_in_folklore

Feeling lucky? Searching for rainbows?

My penultimate #blueskyrelay #prompt for the 17th November is:
#leprechaun

I'm looking forward to your replies!

Some background in alt-text.

#writingcommunity #poetrycommunity
A leprechaun (Irish: lucharachán/leipreachán/luchorpán) is a diminutive supernatural being in Irish folklore, classed by some as a type of solitary fairy. They are usually depicted as little bearded men, wearing a coat and hat, who partake in mischief. In later times, they have been depicted as shoe-makers who have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Her wailing might be the last thing you'll ever hear.

The #BlueSkyRelay #prompt for the 16th November is #banshee

Neither good nor evil, this harbinger of death has become infamous.

Excited for your replies, additional background in #alt-text

#writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #keepwriting
A banshee (/ˈbænʃiː/ BAN-shee; Modern Irish bean sí [bʲanˠ ˈʃiː], from Old Irish: ben síde [bʲen ˈʃiːðʲe], "woman of the fairy mound" or "fairy woman") is a female spirit in Irish folklore who heralds the death of a family member, usually by screaming, wailing, shrieking, or keening. Her name is connected to the mythologically important tumuli or "mounds" that dot the Irish countryside, which are known as síde (singular síd) in Old Irish source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee

A bit earlier today I offer you the #blueskyrelay #prompt for the 15th November: #Morrigan

Let's explore the ambiguity and complexity of this old deity, sometimes called the phantom queen!

Can't wait to read your replies! ✍️

Additional background in alt-text.

#poetrycommunity #writingcommunity
Detail from 1911 painting "Cú Chulainn" by J.C. Leyendecker. The Morrígan depicted here as a crow. The Morrígan is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death, or victory in battle. In this role she often appears as a crow, the badb. She incites warriors to battle and can help bring about victory over their enemies. The Morrígan encourages warriors to do brave deeds, strikes fear into their enemies, and is portrayed washing the bloodstained clothes of those fated to die. She is most frequently seen as a goddess of battle and war and has also been seen as a manifestation of the earth- and sovereignty-goddess, chiefly representing the goddess's role as guardian of the territory and its people. The Morrígan is often described as a trio of individuals, all sisters, called "the three Morrígna". In mythology membership of the triad is given as Badb, Macha, and the Morrigan, who may be named Anu. It is believed that these were all names for the same goddess. In modern sources Nemain may also be named as one of the three Morrigan along with Badb and Macha, although her inclusion is unclear. The three Morrígna are also named as sisters of the three land goddesses Ériu, Banba, and Fódla. The Morrígan is described as the envious wife of The Dagda and a shape-shifting goddess,while Badb and Nemain are said to be the wives of Neit. She is associated with the banshee of later folklore.

We're still in the sea, but today it's getting a little more sinister.

The #blueskyrelay #prompt for the 14th November is #nixie / #nix

Do you dare delving into the deep?

Looking forward to your replies.

If you wanna take over as host next week, drop me a DM!

#writingcommunity #poetrycommunity
nix, in Germanic mythology, a water being, half human, half fish, that lives in a beautiful underwater palace and mingles with humans by assuming a variety of physical forms (e.g., that of a fair maiden or an old woman) or by making itself invisible. One of three attributes may betray the disguises of nixes: they are music lovers and excellent dancers, and they have the gift of prophecy. Usually malevolent, a nix can easily be propitiated with gifts. In some regions, nixes are said to abduct human children and to lure people into deep water to drown. According to some sources, nixes can marry human beings and bear human children. source: https://www.britannica.com/topic/mermaid image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixie_%28folklore%29

We're staying in the land of myth and folklore. Today's #BlueSkyRelay #prompt is #merrow.

Have fun writing, whether the seas are disturbed or calm! 🧜‍♂️🧜‍♀️

#poetrycommunity #writingconmunity
Merrow (from Irish murúch, Middle Irish murdúchann or murdúchu) is a mermaid or merman in Irish folklore. The term is anglicised from the Irish word murúch. The merrows supposedly require a magical cap (Irish: cochaillín draíochta; anglicised: cohuleen druith) in order to travel between deep water and dry land. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrow image source: https://theburrenandbeyond.com/2013/12/09/the-merrow-1888/

This week we're writing
#RhymeRoyal (rime royale)
This one took me a bit of rewriting because I initially butchered the rhyme scheme.

For a first attempt at the form it seems to have turned out decently.
