It’s as if the words acquire life in your poetry.
Using your own title, I’m tempted to add, in your art, ‘All Words Matter.’
For, each silent space between the words feels like a breath spent in worthy reflection.

I don’t use photos as prompts, if that’s what you mean. After the poem is finished, I go and search for an image.

I wrote a poem about bankers from an Australian Archive photo. I’ll post it on Poetikat Unbound. It’s just a fun one–with bite.

I believe these are Chicago cops from the 1920s.

This photo is familiar; is it Irish Archives? Some of those old black and whit shots make great jumping off points. This is a great poem.

Evocative, provocative, brilliant. I love the lines
“Does breathing know things…
I don’t know? …. Like…
Being scared, being prepared.”
If we allowed ourselves, subconsciously we would know the right actions.

Very evocative and disturbing at the same time, and touching to find some grace amid turmoil.
Is this from experience, or feelings?
Either way, well done Elan.
