  • Pic and a Word ChallengeThe Pic and a Word Challenge comes from Patrick Jennings’ site www.pixtowords.com Each week he provides a photograph of his along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as points of inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, longread or just a few words. We are welcome to use these two elements (photograph and word) literally, thematically or metaphorically. If we create both images and words, all the better.

Wound Down

Another week

winds

down.

This one
unwound
so much

more
slowly
than the last.

Perhaps
next week
I’ll

wind

up

less.
