PICTURES TO WORDS #4 TALES TO TELL

couch with a view

 

The Couch

Almost covered

in the rushes and drift;

Were babies made on it,

entwined passions,

Memories certainly were

laughter, and tears.

Was this dumped into nature

by today’s barbarians,

or washed up,

debris from a past flood,

erasing places, things, and memories,

until the sensitive wander by,

and wonder. . .

Welcome to

Picture To Words

a weekly, fun literary experience!

From Heather:

For me, pictures and words just go together. I never look at a picture or photograph without wondering about the subject matter and marvelling at the series of events which brought a particular picture about, at precisely this moment.

Rules of the Game:

* Each week, on a Sunday, I will post up a picture to encourage you to exercise your creativity and encourage you to write..even just a few words.

* While no subject is taboo, please keep in mind that this is a family friendly site and if your writing has adult content please notify us all in the link you leave here.

* There are no deadlines, so while a new picture may go up each week, feel free to 'catch-up' with past pictures too if and when they move you.

* This site is meant for all types and levels of writing, it is here to help us all grow and to give ourselves an outlet, a medium within which to share our creativity.

* After you have written your piece, come back and leave a link here so that others may view your work.

* For any personal issues feel free to use the PM method

Please don't forget to make those blogs open to everyone!

This week its Storytime, tell yours in 1000 words or less

with this pic as your prompt!
