Laura Salas, akalaurasalas , is taking the month of July off from blogging. She asked if I would like to host 15 words or less photopoetry for the month and I said sure! This is no pressure, lots of fun. If you’re not familiar with it, you can read the guidelines here.
Here’s this week’s picture.
What does this make you think of? Are you holding it in your hand, waiting to make a wish? Are you yanking them out of your yard before more can grow? Where does the picture send your imagination?
If you’d like to play, just choose any topic this image makes come to your mind and write a quick 15 Words or Less poem. Your poem doesn’t have to describe this photo. The picture is just a jumping-off point. Basically look at the picture and write a poem of 15 words or less inspired by the photo. Please add your byline to the poem so I can include it in the poetry Friday roundup.
Go on. You know you want to.
Lolipop
of lint and life
waits for wind
to disseminate
procreation.
Diane M. Davis
Apologies for not responding to this last week, Diane. I absolutely LOVE that image of lolipop of lint and life! Dead on.
Shared Desire
Gray hair, untamed,
just like mine.
We hope for a breeze
at the clothesline.

Re: Shared Desire
Love the image of untamed gray hair.!
This is proof–
even a flower
can have
a bad hair day.
Cynthia Cotten
Cynthia this cracked me up! Terrific.
I
am
so
beautiful.
Why do you
revile me,
repulse me?
My thoughts exactly! (Apologies for not responding to this last week.)
A DANDY PLAN
She fastens
her children
to parachutes
preparing them
for an inconspicuous
invasion of
cultivated lands.
Forgot the byline…

Oh Diane, I just love the phrase “fastens
her children to parachutes”!
What a beautiful image.

Helen meant to blow,
but instead she inhaled.
Then she spat and coughed.
Hee hee!
Okay, you made me snort and spew at my screen. Thanks!

Sunships of wonder
waiting to ride
the breeze,
to create their own worlds.

together we grew
then the winds came
scattering us afar
it’s time
to bloom apart.

A hundred tiny wisps of hope
Waiting to be sent into the world.
Re: Wish
Sorry for not getting back to respond to this last week.
“wisps of hope” yes, I like that image a lot.
Just one big blow
Fly away fairies
Bring back wishes
of hope,
happiness and love

Lovely image, Anne. It takes me right back to my childhood when I would do just that.
Sphinx Sperm?
Soft, white and tiny
dandelion seeds twirl gently on
a mythical breeze.
