         PWoF 2016 - Topic 05 - Sept. 26
         
        Standard instructions:
       

         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:
