She’s listening for sounds and trying to see them with her camera. You are invited to take what she sees (or what you see) and turn it to sounds.
The villanelle is a perfect form for sound-capturing, as it mimics a song. Will you join us in this writing/photoing project?
Post your villanelle and/or photos by Wednesday, December 28, for links and possible feature at The High Calling, here, or at Every Day Poems.
