great image Tess- I am a bit cranky today as I have been trying to fix my blog and now the problem isn't me or my blog but google....so no image to go with my poems-ah well eventually it will be fixed.....I hope!
I will have to agree with many others. The picture evokes some negative ideas. It is hard to see the decaying subflooring, the broken pane, the worn chair, and the other images of poverty without heading to negative ideas. Still, a thought-provoking prompt.
It's taken time to get the words right but at least it's written. Some big emotions have been evoked by this photo http://llmcalling.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/falling-down.html
