Impressions Are Grave

Unstrung lover broke her beads.
Pearls - black and blue, pure white, cream.
A river of wicked deeds
would release her unhinged scream.

Vertiginous whirlpool’s drunk
on All Hallow’s Eve. Unbent
string and fine ornaments sunk.
Unwound hate and pearls ferment.

Congratulations on your winning placement, I also struggled to think of anything to write for this picture. :-)

I knew the other picture would be more popular so I though I’d try :) Thank you!

A unique take on the theme, Kim, I wanted to write on this one, but couldn't think of anything appropriate, you have done well:)

Keep digging...sometimes it takes me a few days. I often don’t think I will come up with something. Bless you!

I can feel it all fermenting Kim, I`m sure it will all clash to the floor on Halloween night, pearls and all. Nicely written for the contest, winning wishes sent your way, be well, keep penning for the love of it. (smile)
