Well yeah, if you exclude the primary stories to finish critiquing this morning (4 of 7 done last night) and posting these prompts.
I love the sensation of using poetry books to generate prompt-phrases. This is a great tip for block BTW. Just flick through any good anthology and copy out twenty random lines, lines that obviously "caught your eye"
Write them out, print the list. squeeze them, shuffle them, and if a story doesn't present itself with all thos fantastiv voices, check your pulse.

his beautiful, not quite dutiful, wife

Come into the garden, Maud
