Light ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #14

The light may seem dim
And inaccessible
But there is always a path
To take me there

Sometimes
It is necessary
To look deep within
To the source

For the light
Which illuminates
Any darkness

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a weekly creativity prompt offered Sunday mornings.

Each week I provide a photograph of mine 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. You are welcome to use these two elements (photograph and word) literally, thematically or metaphorically. If you create both images and words, all the better.

To participate:

  • Use any title you like.
  • Your response can be words and/or an image
  • Better if the words are your own
  • You may use my image in your post, or any image you have created.
  • Place the challenge’s Pic (if you use it for inspiration) and Word prominently in your post
  • Mention that you are responding to the Pic and a Word Challenge
  • Add a link to this post in your response

To help us find your response, you can also:

Each week, I’ll list the previous week’s responses at the end of the new challenge. I may also share some on my social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc.

It was a little dark here last week, with all that fury… This week, go find the light. ; )

Last week’s challenge: Fury
Howe Sound storm, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada
Challenge #13: Fury
The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge #13 was Fury, along with this photograph of a raging storm in Howe Sound, British Columbia, Canada.

Six powerful furies unleashed this week. Thanks everyone!
