I think this was my favourite day / prompt.
I would be hard pressed to say which poem I like best. I've lost count of how many times I’ve bee back to re-read all of these.
I found all of the poems fascinating for the different aspects that were drawn out of the picture to what I might have focused on. In particular Milo's scan of Shem's picture and bena's story behind her blues woman, then again jasmine's portrayal of a doctor was crisp and felt spot on. So much to recommend in all of them. Ella and Todd to my mind, perfectly captured the essence of their pictures and Ray managed to make me feel like I was caught in a time bubble on that wooded path.
If I had to choose I guess I loved the slightly sad reminiscence of Keith’s poem and in particular this line captured the feel of a hot summer day for me
Summers snap away
with dandelion seeds
landing like aphids
green on the breeze.
