I love the image this week, killer... It put me in a pleasant but melancholy mood, which informed the piece I wrote, but melancholy has been my norm lately -- so I wrote and posted a 2nd, more uplifting piece, a love poem. Please forgive my posting twice, I just didn't want people thinking I'm ALWAYS dark and moody... :)
Darkness, blood on the ivy, and a man rendered down to a stew, with a bold image, and a bolder narrator; fine job on this Mag 80. I posted an older poem of mine; a few months old, that has never been a Magpie; enjoy.
Just posted my submission, better late than never. I've been away and it's taking me time to get into the swing of things. Now to read the others. I never do that until after mine is irrevocably in. — K

In addition to the poem I wrote, this wonderful image also moved me to fashion a short story around it entitled "Safe Harbor". The link is posted at #57 above.

ReplyDeleteDark image.
ReplyDeleteI also saw something ominous in the photo ...
ReplyDeleteFit right in with my gloomy mood. Good to write it out.
ReplyDeleteSurely I'm not the only one who saw this an immediately heard fado music and felt transported back to Lisbon.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, our post is now up.
You had me with the red. Thanks for the inspiration!

Just read above that someone else thought there was something sinister about this photo as well. I'm just glad I'm not the only one who saw that!
