  • 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.

Too.

It’s one thing,
One easy thing,

For your joy to be
My
Joy.

It’s another thing,
One. Much. Harder. Thing.

When your ache becomes
My
Ache,

Complete with a deep,
Helpless inability

To apply that soothing balm
For which

All our Sore Souls
Cry.

That’s when I know
I love you.

Too.
