One of the beautiful bloggers' Terresa Wellborn is driving this week's TFE's Poetry Bus. You can find more information at Driving the poetry bus about Terresa and about the participation details.
As a part of this competition, she included a Poetry Prompt which is a picture by Keith Carter from his book, Fireflies. Here is that Picture:
And here is my poem in response to the picture. Wish me luck!

A nicely crafted set of images here - "gleeing to hold your safe hand". Geeing is a great word, as is drekitude.
Some nice images here, notably, "collected fistful of magic and smeared the air" -- I really like that.
PS: I had trouble reading your text as it was the same color as your blog side bar (purple). Maybe consider changing your blog text to black? Just a thought. :)
Soleful and yet very beautiful with a real light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you.ca
"drekitude"!... think I've just discovered a new favourite word!.. in amongst a whole host of wonderful words.. enjoyed this poem immensely! :-D
Powerful stuff, it swept me along. Images and ideas piled up oneac h other. Congrats.
I also owe you an apology: I neglected to welcome you to my blog, which I gladly now do. Mythanks to you for visiting.
Yes, drekitude is a new one for me too! Nicely linked images...
Thank you all beautiful people out there. Thank you for recognizing "Drekitude" :). I have always had this fascination for new words and i am happy everyone liked my poetry.
@Terresa, thank you once again for posting it on Poetry Bus. And i implemented your suggestion of changing text color. That definitely made sense.
"drekitude" was the one that did it for me too! Enjoyed reading this, and I loved that last line.
Yep, I'm with al;l the others, I enjoyed reading this and love the word drekitude!
Welcome to the Poetry Bus! We don't compete here, dear; we just love each other up whilst doing our own take on the prompts. I enjoyed your debut on the Bus, and especially the lines:
"I waited long crawled under the covers,
reaping the reminescence and eating the pain,
now felt armoured and swallowed the strength,
collected fistful of magic and smeared the air."
Lovely poetry, Shilpa.
It is beautiful... I love this poem... I love that it ended with hope. xoxo
talk about imagery! I could "see" this poem - nice word choices - overall, very nice.
