Poetry Challenge #175-Say Cheese!
Today is National Cheese Lover’s Day—a perfect day to enjoy cheese all day long. Maybe some cream cheese on a bagel for breakfast, a nice slice of cheddar or swiss on your sandwich at lunch, and macaroni and cheese for dinner. MMMM!
But cheese is also one of the words most used by photographers trying to get their subjects to smile: “Say cheese,” they call before they click their camera.
Poetry Challenge #175
Say Cheeeeeese!
For today’s prompt, find a photo with one or more people in it. If you are in the picture, do you remember what you were thinking at that moment?
What about the others in the picture? What about the photographer? Were they thinking of where they’d rather be? Did they have something to say to someone else in the picture?
What were they wishing, hoping, wanting at that moment?
Write a poem with real or imagine thoughts for the people in the picture. Include the people outside the picture—the photographer, onlookers, passersby, a person receiving the photo.
