  • 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.

    I need you to see some flesh on the jagged bones of the life themes I’ve expressed in my poetry.

  • Sonnet I – I chose to walk

    The shoes, while fitting poorly, won me praise, but winning praise becomes a daily chore
