NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo 2025

Day 14!  Nearly half way there.

What is NaPoWriMo? During the month of April, poets challenge themselves to write at least one poem a day, every day, for the entire month.

If you’d like to join in, or just want to learn more about this annual poetry writing event, the official website is NaPoWriMo.net. I am also an admin of a small, private FB group, NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo 2025 if you want to follow other poets on their journey.

Pic and a Word Challenge

Last week we rose against Power .

This week, let’s seek Beauty. Or find something else to inspire you in this photograph of the Twelve Apostles on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road in Australia.

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: Power

Power Lines, HWY 570, Sunnynook, Alberta, Canada
Challenge 405 ~ Power

The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge 405 was Power, along with this photograph of power transmission lines crossing the Alberta rangelands, over Highway 570 in Sunnynook, Canada.

We have one response to last week’s challenge. Yay! Thanks Woolly. 🙂 ❤

View all the Pic and a Word Challenges, including the current challenge, on the Pic and a Word Challenge tag page.

Happy Creating! ❤
