Picture Prompt Challenge Time!

Converging--by Adam Romanowicz

INSTANCE
Spontaneous flame did burst
Upon the tree
Soaring on the wind
Tornadic fire to consume

Rush
Crackle
Snap
Unfurl

Drawing Earth
Up heaving world

Eagle cries out into wind
Taking messages
Kindred twin

Raging wind
Thunder’s roar
Lightning’s warning

A silent pause deep in the din
A raindrop trickles down her skin
Melting rage and fire deep
Within a soul

In a moment she remembers
Stretches arms up to the sky
Calling torrents of the welcome rain to kiss away pain

  1. “A silent pause deep in the din

    Lovely lines. Like how you infuse the elements into your peace, fitting for the image which survives them. Very well done challenge response.

  2. “Melting rage and fire deep within a soul”

    Yes. I feel the fire deep within my soul soothed and nourished by deeply feeling the pain, and embracing the cool raindrops.

    • I’d like to see you write about the belly button of a balloon! I wonder if the actuality of it would outstrip my imagination of it, or will I determine it only a belly button in comparison. Gosh, the thinks I can think!

    • Rain and particularly singular drops of water fascinate me and root me within the single moment of noticing them. I haven’t yet a word that I’d wish to stick with to describe this, but just now I am thinking of how the miracle of just one drop is larger all around me with each tiny tiny thing the comprises each object, each thought about them, rippling outward toward me and back into the world endlessly, no matter if my body or my thought form at a moment remains in existence at all. It’s amazing to me!

  3. Loved the flow of this piece, gorgeous lines and imagery; the arms reaching up, the raindrop trickling down the skin, eagle crying out in the wind… wonderful response to the prompt.
