You should attempt to write a poem inspired by this topic -- not a derivative, literal
interpretation of the topic. Create a poem that reflects your own true self.
--> Since the officious rules of PWoF 2016 stipulate that you can submit more than
one poem; may I suggest, if the fit strikes you, that you include, after your major work,
a second poem consisting of a bit of transient doggerel, a limerick, or a trenchant
end-rhyming nonsense poem that somehow reflects the intention of this topic.
(And for anyone who's a bit uncertain about starting out here: Ignore my bullshite and
just string some words together (that's what everybody else is doing ).
Topic 5:
Write an ekphrastic poem: A poem about or directly addressing an image;
a narration about, an expansion of, a reflection upon its meaning to you.
It should be specific:
If it were placed beneath the image, the two would seem closely connected.
Posting multiple poems about the same photograph or a different one,
at the same time or later is ok, even encouraged.
--> The number of the photograph should be placed somewhere above or below your poem.
Use one of these six photographs:
