The Sunday Challenge ~ Featuring Hannah Gosselin

I'm very happy to introduce the photographic talent of our very own Hannah Gosselin of Metaphors and Smiles.  
Hannah Gosselin is lured by words and loving each shining facet of faith, family, nature, art, poetry and people. She enjoyed The Institute of Children’s Literature and received a diploma: “Writing for Children and Teenagers.” She’s a student of life greeting each day with a fresh smile.

Portrait of the Artist

~The act of writing delves into an invisible multidimensional realm that can bring so many layers of importance to a single snap-shot moment.

~Photography, for me, are the muses’ eyes, providing a means of capturing and displaying the fleeting moments of what is visually inspiring to me.

~Writing, for me, is the muses’ mind, it makes visible that brief, passing goose-bump-good feeling that I get when I’ve perceived a raw moment of inspiration.

~I find it amazing that our thoughts can pattern themselves into visible creations in the form of singular words, growing sentences and mounting paragraphs; we create line after line what we want our readers to see, we make visible the invisible makings and imaginations of our minds.

~Poetry provokes me in the space of lacy- lucid-dreams, whispering wished letters that swirl into lengthy lines leading me deeper into their design.  Free verse is woven in the pattern of plans, the concrete creation of each intricate detail of day.

The Sunday Challenge is posted on Saturday at noon CST to allow extra time for the creative process, so please do not link up old work which kind of fits the image. Members will only respond to poetry written specifically for this prompt: this is in the spirit of our Real Toads project to create opportunities for poets to be newly inspired. Management reserves the right to remove unrelated links but invites you to share a poem of your choice on Open Link Monday.
