Tell the story challenge

Damn those challenges! Though I’m always pressed for time, I can’t resist a good one, especially when it’s visual. I was challenged by lovely Kim whose blog I Tripped Over a Stone, which, among other things, helps us understand her everyday struggle with fibromyalgia, is a must. Along the way, you’ll get to know a charismatic person, a fighter, a lifelong learner and a great writer, who, if you’re lucky like myself, you will be honored to call a friend.

 

Here you go, my dear. Hope you’ll like it.

SWORDFISH

Before the light faded behind western
hills, Mama told me of ferocious
animals that hunt for a living, much worse
than earthly dragons and water demons
some swear on their lives to have seen

she said i’d meet fierce-looking
monsters in not so legendary a form
hiding in the darkest corners with
their corked mouths and balls of fire
snarling and snapping at me

when you see them, imagine wearing
a deep blue hood the color of ripe plums
over your head as deadly as a long
sword-like extension of your upper jaw
to frighten the demons away

 

I challenge three ladies who I think the world of, both as human beings and writers:

Basilike (Silent Hour)

Angela (Heart Breathings)

Susan (Stories From the Edge of Blindness)

The genre is entirely up to you. To quote Kim, there’s no time restraints on this. Do it if you can, I’ll wait, no problem!

  8. I love this, Gorgeous Lady!!! It is one bold and striking image after another, telling a story that holds so much sweetness. Beautiful!!! Thank you for including me alongside such outstanding writers and women, to tell a story from that totally super cool picture you chose!!!! You know I love the ekphrastic challenge, so I am totally in. Probably not today, as my eyes are killing me from being reckless yesterday, but tomorrow I will give it a whirl! Love and adore you!
