Individualized Picture Prompts #2

Here's the deal...
I, Jessica, give you a picture.
You, poet, RESERVE FIRST & give me a poem based on that picture.

[1]No dirty pretty. (:
[2]Non-crap writes please.
[3]You can ask for another picture.
[4]Don't take more than 3 days.
[5]Under 50 lines please!
[6]Accepting 15 entries, but I'll make room for Favorites should that occasion arise. (:
[7]Credit the artist in your Author's Notes.
[8]Enter your poem in another contest, and I will be pissed off. (:

As a head's up...
I will most likely be giving you a:
-Dark picture
-A fashion/glamor picture or
-Something very challenging/weird (but only if you ask for it)

TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT PLEASE (:

P.S.: That puppy does not belong to me.
That's not even me in the picture, since I was the one who took it. (:

Jessica

    Bunch of damn people pulled out on me, but hey, that means less judging for me!!!

    Gold***My Matrix On You
    I swear to God I am not biased just because it was about The Matrix--the write was AMAZING. (:

    Silver**Salem and I
    I LOVED THIS--it was simply evocative & summed up life so well.

    Bronze*signs along the way
    An awesomely clever write, considering the picture provided that goes way beyond physical description.

    HM1-Ice-seared Iris
    Wonderful description & poetic ability.

    HM2-Cul-de-sac
    I loved the title & the write itself was chilling & suspenseful.

    HM3-Hand in the Lolly Jar
    LoL...read it for a laugh & a mention of lemon cupcakes!!! (:

    HM4-Picking at the Bones
    Uber dark & eloquent & full of tons of alliterative assonance!
