Special thanks to all our photographers and poets who participated in last week’s poetry and photo prompts. Images and words, that together, hinted and tugged at the mystery of nature. Here’s part of a poem by Richard that we felt paired well with a few of our photos:
We are lace, of invisible Plaiting
and densest Cordonette, Tallied
in the darkness to make a light,
fractal in a fabric, on the edges of eternity.
Be sure to check out the rest of our favorite highlights from each participant on the Photo Play Pinterest board. And keep clicking and/or playing with words.
NOTE TO POETS: Looking for your Monday prompt? On Photo Play days, it’s right here. Choose a photo and use it to jumpstart a poem!

Love this, Richard – especially “fractal in a fabric, on the edges of eternity”. So much light in those few words.
I was not very popular in my house this morning as I stood with the door wide open, hanging 10 on the iced over sill to snap this- http://thebrightersideblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/captive.html
she spins
and grins
has you pinned
in icy lace
swallow fate
and wait
for
spring

Thank you, Donna. Gorgeous photo. Ice storms are such a mixed bag; they can produce amazing images, but cause so much destruction. Thanks for capturing the beautiful side of ice and sharing.
Heather Eure says
Wow. Thanks for sharing the poem and photo, Donna. The ice in the twigs is lacy and almost spiderweb-like. Glad you captured it, just don’t slip! 🙂
Donna says
🙂 I’ll be careful! Thank you Heather and Richard.
