This is an image found on google of Death Valley, CA. It is acres of sand and striated rock. The silence there is deafening.
Write me a verse in 30 lines more or less using imagery and metaphors. Use the photo as a prompt.
When one walks the dunes, after a gust of wind, all footprints are gone. Millions visit this amazing area every year.
Creativity will definitely be rewarded.
Please use spell check and proper punctuation.
I prefer free verse, or forms, but if you can rhyme well, please do so!
It is courteous to comment on others poems.
I will judge as soon as all spots are filled, if it is before the end of the contest date.
