Fall ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #380

The Falls, Western Brook Pond, Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland, Canada

I fall

To the merciless stone below
Which I not only survive
But somehow

Shatter

Fragments and rubble
Tumble to the lake below
While I stand above

Shaking

My fist
At the world
That tried to take me

Pic and a Word Challenge

Last week we took on a formidable Upheaval.

This week, let’s survive the Fall. Or find something else to inspire you in this photograph of a waterfall on Western Brook Pond in Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland, 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, podcast, 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 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 previous challenge was: Upheaval

Challenge 379 ~ Upheaval

The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge #379  was Upheaval, along with this photograph of the mighty upthrust of Earth’s mantle comprising the Tablelands of Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, Canada.

Just one formidably tenacious blogger offered some Upheaval this week.  Thanks, Woolly! 🙂
