Greetings Garden Dwellers and welcome to the Out of Standard, where I set before you a challenge to defy the conventions of a particular theme and find new places in the everyday.
Photo finish
For today’s prompt, I am going to provide you with images, and you get to write a poem around them.
But
This wouldn’t be the out of standard without a teeny, tiny twist. Under each photo is an phrase that doesn’t exactly match the photo. Your challenge is to write a poem inspired by the photo, while using the seemingly nonsensical words.
The photos are mine, and you have my permission to repost them at your blog (if you are into that sort of thing).
Keep in mind
Like every challenge, your poem must by newly written and not one which you have previously written which conveniently fits the theme.
That's it. The platform is yours. The mic is warm.
So go now, my muddy buddies, and bring us back something shiny and new.

ReplyDeleteWhere is everyone?
ReplyDeleteA very challenging prompt Isadore; luv it
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Great prompt...so busy all of a sudden with work and after 30 poems in 30 days it's a struggle at the monent to find time to write. I'll get on with reading and commenting over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, Izzy. I liked the picture right away but "Wasabi" threw me for a loop but I 'adapted'. Come see. Guess I'll call my writing a 'poem' but I should have done better.
ReplyDelete..
I will have to do this prompt - such fun after an intense week... maybe a combo with the problem of ostracized chimeras hmm
