Coming Out – The Journey
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.

Indeed, Beyond Survive, It Thrives

Indeed, beyond survive, it thrives; / More blossoms join the other.

rain, rain, go away?

My morning’s skies of blue soon turned to gray / The moment’s respite gone in sheets of rain

Sorry?

It feels I must apologize; For what, I barely know.

Innocence Lost

A deal not meant for me, I bought; Account was mostly overdrawn.
