Unconfined ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #401

Unconfined, Basin Head Provincial Park, Prince Edward Island, Canada

I sunder the barriers
Of my confinement
Rise through the debris
Of my former prison
Grow roots in the sands
Which once shifted beneath me
And in the open air of freedom
Stretch beyond capacities
I could not imagine

Pic and a Word Challenge

Last week we endeavoured to Reach beyond our grasp.

This week, let’s imagine we are Unconfined. Or find something else to inspire you in this photograph of grasses growing between the debris of a downed sand fence in Basin Head Provincial Park, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a weekly creativity prompt typically 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: Reach

Reach ~ Quaco Head Lighthouse- UNESCO Fundy Biosphere Reserve, St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada
Challenge 400 ~ Reach

The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge 400 was Reach, along with this photograph of the Quaco Head Lighthouse reaching for the heavens on the Bay of Fundy,  in New Brunswick, Canada.

Two bloggers found the impossible within their Reach this week. ❤ Thank you. 🙂

Happy Creating! ❤
