Saw your blog. Didn't know that the girl wasn't aware, would have written differently. You said great imagery, so I tried to capture ful photo in poem. Thanks for the inspirational prompt. Have a blessed day ahead. Take care, Rama

Can't resist this one, Rama: If you remove the comma after the word 'tomato,' then you'll have "Four police escorting a tomato..." ~ The Nutty Professor

Rama, I looked at the contest details and the choice of pictures and now understand what it’s all about. It’s a dreadful thing to have happened to an innocent little girl. Thankfully things have improved, we’re all equal in this world and should be treated equally... Belle

The picture was so thought provoking that I had to write an Tetractys in it. Wanted to convey what painter wanted to say. I felt this was the message of painter. Took some time to write. Some contest topic awaken the poet in you and a poem flows from within. Take care Rama

You gave a new dimension to it. See the contest photo in case you haven't. Not many will write about police, but police do a tough job and only because of them girl is calm. Thanks for the wonderful comments. God bless! Take care, Rama
