mom and me liked to picnic in summer we made toast and orange juice and ice tea eating on a wooden garden table the cold juice was fresh and delicious and the ice tea was sweet and so tangy we liked our bread just plain, not to toasty I would bring my writing journal and pen and I would imagine and dream in words mom's flowers were the symbols of beauty I was drowning in deep surreal truths, thoughts the whispering breeze my inspiration we talked of human existence, of art our food and drinks an artistic display I felt the words flowing from my young soul mom liked my interpretation of things I wrote of birds and sounds, I painted words and I read out loud my writing, my art while mom and me had our garden picnic ____________________________ April 12, 2015 Poetry/Free Verse/ Ekaphrasis/the garden picnic Copyright Protected, ID 04-662-694-12 All Rights Reserved, 2015, Constance La France For the Standard contest, Ekaphrasis 01, sponsor Giorgio, Judged 05/2015 First Place

beautiful as always. I think I take his contests too literally. I thought we had to stay with the exact picture he showed us. Maybe it is ok to find our own picture to do? I really like this and I miss those talks I Used to have with my own family members late at night around the table.

Like my ice tea unsweeten, but the toast with a bit of honey, lol, go figure. "unfinished", of course, every day is a new day, thank you for sharing :)
