Ripples
In the soft
And the hard
On the water
A gentle breeze
In the moment
On the granite
Storms and ice
Over aeons
In my spirit
The rock and roll
Of the history of me
Islets
Mamainse Point
Lake Superior

Pic and a Word Challenge
Last week we sought our Sentinel
This week, let’s wait for the Ripples to come back. Or find some other inspiration in this photograph of Lake Superior’s rocky shoreline on a beautiful blue-sky day in Ontario, Canada.
The Pic and a Word Challenge is a (mostly) weekly creativity prompt (usually) offered Mondays.
With each challenge I provide a photograph of mine along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, video, 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 images
- You may use my image to illustrate your post, or any images you have created
- 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 challenge’s responses at the end of the new challenge. I may also share some on my social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc.
The previous challenge was: Sentinel
The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge #354 was Sentinel, along with this photograph of the Niel’s Harbour Lighthouse facing menacing skies along the Cabot Trail on Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Island, Canada.
Three bloggers were guided to safe harbour by their Sentinel this week. Thanks everyone! ❤ 🙂
