I was having trouble coming up with something for this contest, when it finally struck me - Be random! So, I was and I rummaged through my files on the computer and gave you all images I had on my computer as your prompts. Good luck!

The Bonus
There are two bonuses this round. The first bonus is... if you can tell me WHY I had the image you got on my computer, you get 20 points added to your score! (include your guess in your author's notes!!! Do not PM me with your guesses or guess any other way. These will be ignored!)
The second bonus is this: If you can, in some way, connect your poem to another poem in the contest (you must specify which one in your author's notes), you will have 10 points added to your score.
The Catch!
If you're not happy with your current prompt you can switch with someone else. But, you must both agree to switch AND let me know of the change.
