In every land
Its dreams
Of fame and glory
Roaring crowds
And adulation
Playing out
In young boy’s hearts
Under the lights
Imagining a stadium
Fans in every seat
A swing away
From eternal meaning
Ganges River
Varanasi
Uttar Pradesh, India
Taken during travels, 2017
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
- 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 — whether on WordPress, Instagram, Flicker, Tumblr, etc. — you can also:
- Add a comment on this post to announce your response
- Apply the tag/hashtag “Pic and a Word Challenge” or “#picandawordchallenge 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.
The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge #82 was Fire, along with this photograph of a young boy performing the Aarti Ceremony at Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi, India.
Three brilliant fires burned this week. Thanks everyone! =)
