Poetry Pep Up Day Four: Picture This! (Free Form)

A picture is worth a thousand words … but a poet can say it in less!

Today’s challenge is to take a photo from a moment in your day, and write a poem inspired by the photo. Your poem can follow a form, or be free verse. It may rhyme… or not. This is your day to play without parameters.

Here are two poems I wrote at the start of Lockdown – when I was looking for joy in everyday moments.

If you’re in need of some inspiration, perhaps you’d like to play with one of these, below… (Or click on a pic for more options.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: If you want to present the poem & pic as one complete image (optional), but don’t have a photo editing program, insert your picture into a Word document, select ‘wrap behind text’ (so the text overlays the photo), format your poem/picture, then take a screenshot of your finished document. Voilà!
