Through grass-laden dunes
Where grey, heavy mist
Permeated the sand
I wondered who’d been here
Where had they gone
From where had they come
I followed the footfalls
Until their abrupt ending
Swallowed up by the sea
Oregon, United States of America

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:
- Add a comment on this post to announce your response
- Apply the tag “Pic and a Word Challenge” to your post
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.
Last week we stood on the edge of a cliff… This week, let’s explore rust, in all its beauty.
Three smoking hot posts in the last week. Thanks everyone! This week, have fun following the footfalls.
- Heat, by Dancing Echoes
- Rust, by Elusive Trope
- Earths Heat, by WritersDream9
And, a new arrival for Rust… probably because I never did put up the announcement for the new challenge this week. (Totally my bad. 😦 )
