PHOTO-INSPIRE – a tag from brainteaser

Photo-inspire Me.

 

“Good pictures evoke in us a wide array of emotions and thoughts. They can send us to a different dimension and time. They can dampen us, soothe us, make us smile, laugh, cry, melancholic, inspired… name it, they can effectively do it. There are even times when pictures more effectively elucidate what words struggle to express.  

 

So our first game/activity is to open ourselves to the emotions a picture evokes in us. And write about it. ” – brainteaser

 

Here’s the rule:

 

1. Write a poem or an inspiring line based on a photo of your choice. This photo can be your own, or someone else’s. (If the picture is not yours, please ask permission from the owner when you post it, or better yet, provide only the link to the picture that inspired you, without posting it.)
2. Your poem or inspiring line may be of any length, and any genre. It can be humorous, sentimental, heart-warming, whatever. You may write in Ilokano, English or Filipino.
3. Post your inspiring line in your blog and in the comment section of this page (or just a link to your post so we could go and check it there). For poetry submissions, please indicate if you wish your piece to be posted in Bilingual Pen as an article submission.

 

The goal of this game is to get us to write, and express our thoughts and emotions.

 

 

 

Recall

The times made passed

Seeking answers

That would help cast

The dread crippling

Like little child

Humbly abode

reliant to nothing but faith

 

Renew

The life you had

Forget what lies behind

That after the fall

You can rise up

stripped from former things

defines ignorance

And works of a fool

 

Revolve

For this is the time

Amidst the shattered pieces

New window unfolds

fortuity becomes floods

Chances outpours like rain

Time is now

Not yesterday not later

It is today
