NEKNEERAJ
An egalitarian. A poet. A fiction writer. A millennial generation Scorpio born with Saturn in the eighth house. A student of mathematics, ultra sensitive human, and inclined towards the mysteries of subconscious world, parallel universes, and dark matter.
There is nothing grand with this chap, just an ordinary guy with extraordinary determination. He writes about emotions.
NEKNEERAJ hosts the Photo Prompt on Tuesdays.
Kristjaan
“Hi all,
This is Kristjaan I am a haiku poet living in The Netherlands. I am married and father of four and granddad of seven. I write haiku since the late eighties and in 2005 I wrote my first English haiku. Since then I became a wellknown haiku poet around the globe and in 2011 ten haiku were included in a worldwide anthology.
In 2012 I started Carpe Diem Haiku Kai a daily haiku meme. And now 2015 I will become part of Mindlove misery’s menagerie and be your host for a weekly prompt on Fridays.
I am looking forward to a great time and I hope to inspire you all.”
Kristjaan hosts The Haiku Prompt on Wednesday
Michael
Michael was once a teacher and is now a man of retired means. He loves to create words and story, dabbles a bit in poetry and runs his blog at Morpethroad. He likes to entertain anyone who wanders past his blog. He has been blogging since June 2013. He believes story is a bunch of words thrown together in such an order as to make sense.
Lorraine
“All who wander are not lost” JRR Tolkien. I’ve been wandering, searching for my tao. I discovered the cyberverse in the fall of 2009. I’m a walker, talker (to myself), and writer. I love creativity, whimsy, and serendipity. I believe in fairies, parallel universes and the power of one. I’ve been a lot of things: teacher, editor, public relations, and care-giver.”
Michael and Lorraine host Tale Weavers on Thursday
Bastet
“I love to read…I like to write…I’ve traveled the world and seen the sights. I’m past my prime and feel so young, especially when near the young. I’m writing this blog, to remember, to think and to share…with the hopes that someone else will make a comment that will stimulate new thoughts and pathways. Actually, I’m a gabber, so the logical extension of gabbing is blogging! ;-)”
Bastet hosts the Saturday Mix on Saturdays
Mandi
“Lovely to meet you. I’m a Canadian girl who loves the local sports scene in her city. The NHL and CFL are my regular sports domains but I’ve been getting into the NFL games as well. Go Oilers! First time in the playoffs in eleven-years! I enjoy yoga, drawing with pencil and charcoal; adult colouring books; classes or short seminars on a variety of subjects — but especially writing and art. I love dogs but I can’t have one right now and I enjoy hanging out with friends and family. I am absolutely in love with writing. I’m slowly editing a novel which has taken years to write, check me out on Wattpad @mandibelle16. The novel is called ‘How Was Last Night?’ by A.M. Wilson and is a paranormal romance. On my blog I take part in flash fiction challenges, short stories, poetry, and some nonfiction pieces. Nonfiction writing includes blogger/writer interviews, current events, quotes, entertainment, fashion, beauty, and relationships. Check out some of my published poetry and short fiction on http://www.spillwords.com, Silver Bell Press Online, and SickLitMagazine online. Thank you! Happy to have you stop by. Browse as long as you please!”

Maybe I’m presumptuous having only attended the past few prompts, but why don’t you have a ‘badge’ type thing participants can put in their sidebars? It’s the first place I look when I’m sniffing around for new prompt-sites on other people’s blogs, and I’d love for others to find these amazing prompts!
That is a great idea but I am not savvy enough with the computer to produce one haha I will ask Oloriel though she has incredible design skills XD
Ah! I had no idea how to contact you, hence posting here. Januz Miralles – I love his work! Maybe you can use his photographs as a photo prompt 🙂 Just a suggestion!
You can delete this comment btw.
I will look him up XD
Hi all,
These are great prompts. I post weekly found poetry prompts at foundpoetryreview.com, and am always looking for new ideas. Let me know if you’d like to guest post! beth.ayer@foundpoetryreview.com.
http://www.foundpoetryreview.com/category/poetry-prompts/ will give you a sense of the types of things I post.
Cheers,
Beth
Hi this is Yves =)
Thank you for your wonderful offer and your encouragements. We have several authors here at MLMM was there someone in particular you were interested in? Or a specific prompt that appealed to you?
Hey, I’m Paris Carter owner and operator of The Bibliomaniacs, a writing/book review site. We’re launching our new magazine in the Fall. And I was wondering if you were interested in submitting a short story, essay, or poem. Please contact me if you’re interested!
Hi thank you so much for contacting me and for your generous offer =) My mom is coming from overseas to visit and I am about to go pick her up from the airport. She will be staying for a week, after that I will look through my poetry and send something =) Are there any restrictions/requirements?
We’re looking for short stories, poetry, and essays. We have a 8,000 word count for the short stories and essays, but for the poetry we’re a more lenient as long as it excessive of over 45 lines. The name of our magazine is Catharsis Literary Magazine. As the name suggests, we’re looking for emotional heavy works dramas, realistic fiction, or experimental fiction. Even though we lean more towards realistic work, we still love to hear works of other genres science fiction, romance, dystopian as long as they have a focus on character and emotion. Same goes for poetry. Emotionally charged poetry.
I wasn’t sure how to submit
Title: Cradle
Author: Yves K. Morrow
I snatch your angels
From the waves
Of a treacherous silence,
A box apart from
The residual graves.
As simple as a moon
Fashioned of clay
My self recriminations
Spring up helter-skelter
In moments overcast.
–
How could I have lost you
When I held on with all my might?
What can fix perfection
And if not you
Then what can I alter
Without covering up
These essential lies,
These transparencies
Which distinguish
One void from the next.
–
We were quite the pair
Miscreants starved for reason,
Two perfects eggs
In a cycling bath.
My courage no longer raw
I cling to a barren science.
Your kisses thieving worms,
Your eyes retracted halos
How can I die in the cradle
Of such a gorgeous silhouette?
Perhaps it is one too many things, but we of Team Netherworld were hoping you might consider adding a Haibun prompt on occasion. We really like them! I created this one recently and am hoping it might inspire you to bring back the Haibun! I don’t know if you ever did Haibun prompts on this blog, but I am remembering the Haibun Thinking blog that you used to have.
http://peppersfetch.blogspot.com/2015/10/astriferous-artifact.html
I have never done a Haibun or hosted a Haibun prompt though some of the members at MLMM do have experience with the Haibun. I had actually thought to add it with the haiku prompt as an option because it is a great form.
Kristjaan Panneman hosts the haiku prompt I will mention it to him and see what he thinks XD
Just discovered your blog and am looking forward to reading you poetry and enjoying the images you choose to augment the writing. Best wishes from Western Australia. TJ Paris
We’re so glad you’re here 🙂
All the best to you
Paloma, on behalf of everyone at MLMM
Thanks so very much! Hope you have a lovely weekend! TJ

You have such wonderful prompts. I came here through the recommendation of Oloriel from http://olorielmoonshadow.wordpress.com/ . I write poetry, though only recently became confident to publish it. I look forward to reading more of your blog, if you’ll have me :).
Welcome, and feel free to jump right in and create! Trust me, once you get inspired, there is no stopping! 🙂
🙂 I will, feeling inspired already. It’s like a recent creativity door that’s been locked for some years, has opened and creativity has started pouring out of me. I hope it never ends :).!!
How exciting!

Are you guys on Twitter?
As individuals some of us do have a Twitter accounts/Facebook accounts but the group doesn’t formerly have one. I look very forward to seeing you at group!
I’ve been trying to post a comment (with and without a link) on this writing challenge page but they keep disappearing. Can you have a look in your spam filter? Thanks: https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2018/01/12/music-challenge-20-way-down-we-go-by-kaleo-amwriting-musicchallenge-mlmm/
Well, I am intrigued with your group. I came via my friend Susan,The Abject Muse, and love to write 100 word flash. Looking forward to a prompt that starts my fingers clicking on the keys. (I guess in the old days I would have said ‘starts my pen flowing) Still thinking about the spider-web one I saw.
Welcome =) We are thrilled and honored to have you with us! I used to write poems myself with a pencil, awful handwriting I could never read them once I’d written them alas lol
I just gave you all a shout out on my blog, since one of the stories I wrote in response to a collage prompt was accepted into an anthology: https://poweredbyrobots.com/publications/
That is fantastic James! Congrats =)
