Sundered fences
Leave me vulnerable
To intimacy
And possibility
So I shore them up
Defend against
Betrayals
And failure
Hoping all the while
Someone will breach them
Armed with no more
Than love and compassion

Patrick Reads Fences:
Pic and a Word Challenge
Last week we made Ripples.
This week let’s have a chat over our Fences. Or seek something else to inspire you in this photograph of sand fence being consumed by the dunes, at Basin Head Provincial Park in PEI, Canada.
The Pic and a Word Challenge is a weekly creativity prompt 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, podcast, 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: Ripples
The word for last time’s Pic and a Word Challenge #355 was Ripples, along with this photograph of Lake Superior’s rocky shoreline on a beautiful blue-sky day in Ontario, Canada.
Three bloggers made Ripples this time. Thanks, WoollyMuses! 🙂
