Has any picture moved you enough to write a poem or something in verse?

i wrote this poem after seeing this picture an hour ago;))

          Forlorn Bouquet

Winter trees sigh with love in its wrap
Love reaches the freezing point in its sap,
Summertime's murmurs are hushed
like autumn leaves lifeless crushed,
Snow covers land with its hard crust
Quivers of foregone love just burst,
Half the night she wastes in sighs
In dreams she sees delight of skies,
Locked eternally in orbital chase
Imaginary hands held her in embrace,
Time passes but no memory slips
Bonded always no truth escapes,
Bitter-sour-sweet all is undone,
Bouquet of flowers twine as one;))

    Veena, that is just beautiful!  I can't believe you wrote that in just one hour!  Amazing.



    To answer your question, yes.  It's been a while but, photos and incidents do create inspiration in me.  I write short stories as well as poems.

    No, but I'm a more visual person than literary.

    That was really lovely Veena.

    I'm afraid my poetry does not reach heights that high yet I too was inspired by this picture I saw just a short time ago.......

    Oh how you entice me,
    Your lemon-wear looking fine,
    I dream of stuffing you to the hilt,
    And joining your body with mine.

    Dandy Lions make a row
    Peek up through the melting snow
    Angel hair rap round the tops
    Light as air and white as mops
    Tipsy toe a breeze to blow
    Soft yet moist like lips through doe
    Onto newborn grasses bed
    Cheeks now puffed out wide instead
    Dandy Lions make a row
    Easy breezy peaks in snow
