Who knew I would be so inspired by other people’s photos. First I got sucked in Friday Fictioneeres Challenge where we write 100 word story inspired by a new photo every week, and now Leanne Cole posted a photo on her blog Leanne Cole PHOTOGRAPHY challenging people to write a story or a poem. I still can’t decide what I like more, taking photos, writing fiction or poetry, musing on everyday soulsearching, talking about my favorite artists, scientists, people in general…so I take the healthiest approach and do it all.
Here it is, my latest outburst of words inspired by this beautiful photo…Hope you’ll enjoy it.

Really beautiful and such a harsh, thick middle! I love the ending line, “Oblivion is bliss”! Great addition to a telling photograph by Leanne.

A moving raw poem you’ve written here, the forgotten, those who don’t fit in, the pain of the outsider are so vivid – bravo!
