It snowed overnight and is snowing now 🙂 a few inches of accumulation.
Your prompt this morning is NOT snow (it almost was though, since that is all I could see while I was driving)
The poetry prompt for today is PICTURE or PHOTOGRAPH. You could write a poem about a picture that you have, a photograph you took (or someone else took) or a picture in a magazine that has stayed with you.

Here’s my poem about a photograph that my best friend took years ago.
Valeri Beers is from Bangor, Maine. Her first book of poems titled ...details... was published by Thomas Hill Publishing of Maine in 2014. Valeri is currently working on a second book of poetry. She is inspired to write by listening to music and her need to remember important things. She has been published in a number of anthologies including Literature Today, Qutub Minar Review, Clockwise Cat and Our Day Of Passing (compiled and edited by Ingrid Hall and Franco Esposito. She has also been published in online and print publications including Zest literary magazine, Far Away literary magazine, Kumquat Poetry and The Writer's Drawer.
One of my favorite poets is Erica Jong, check her out at http://www.ericajong.com. Her poetry is very personal, emotional and detailed. She has influenced my work a lot so if you like my poetry, you'll probably like hers as well. Dorothy Parker is another favorite. If you like sarcastic and clever prose and poems, I highly recommend reading The Portable Dorothy Parker from Viking, which has her short short stories and poems.)
You can connect with Valeri on Facebook (facebook.com/valeribeers) or Twitter (@theval2000)
Valeri Beers also takes poetic care of Poetry Pasta and the PoetryPasta Facebook page. Poetry Pasta loves to show off new poets and their words :) Feel free to post your poems on the Poetry Pasta Facebook page or submit them to the Poetry Pasta Wordpress page :)
