fotoFRIDAY XIV

~fotoFRIDAY:iconfotoFRIDAY: reports, November 16, 2006
Hope you had an awesome friday. :)


The rules of *fotoFRIDAY are simple: write a poem or story about the given picture. It can be inspired from the photo, about it, or an element from it. There are is no line minimum or maximum: just think of this as a weekly 'prompt' to get yourself inspired. The contest itself can be found every friday on my journal, so be sure to take a peek and give it a try.

For more information about fotoFRIDAY (and stamps!) take a look here: [link]


News

:postit: Check out the poll at the *fotoFRIDAY account -- we want you opinion about the future of fotoFRIDAY!


Let's keep the news short and sweet this week and get straight to the writing!


This week's (odd) photo is courtesy of ~SMELLSlikeRUST:






Highlights


by =lovetodeviate

fotoFRIDAY has never been about crafting polished piece in less than a week; it's about inspiration, perhaps when you need it the most. Naked Noir is an intriguing, thought-provoking twist on the photo with a few wonderful lines that make prompts like this absolutely worth it:
"our stult and bulk,
our hideous mourn."

Go check it out!


by =apocathary

For someone who is fairly new to poetry, =apocathary is headed in the right direction. feline malnutrition focuses on society's greed and over consumption. Not without its share of well-worded metaphors ( But what are we / If not men of hiss and scratch ), feline malnutrition is definiely worth the read.

Oh, lovely!

:devapothocary:'s poem is really good. I can't believe he's written only 5 poems ever.

'Thirty Years' by `bananaprincess is also great. I haven't read the others yet.
