picture prompt; metaphors please

http://www.trendhunter.com/images/phpthumbnails/42744_1_468.jpeg [UPDATE: AP won't allow me to close at two entries ~ once I get a third I like, it will be judged soon after that. Thank you.] I want you to think of the idea of one glove as poetic, not weird - representing something wrong underneath, that needs to be gently disguised instead of obviously bandaided maybe. I like straight from the heart, abstract writes.



-nothing inappropriate, offensive, neither euphemisms
-nothing dark
-nothing myth-based, no fate or magic either
-no poems written in 15 minutes ~ experience it in emotion but wait until with imagery and metaphor
-realistic / nature backgrounds
-don't use the word, 'muse'
-no hints of angels
-no blatant spirituality or holidays

 

I may update rules

 

 

I could view out of order




Reserves are allowed, but please only keep your piece behind a mitten until judging,

      thanks for asking before entering

      yes, if you keep it related to the point of this contest ... i.e. it's a painful thing hidden in someone's life like wearing one glove. or maybe put it in the view of a person wearing a hand covering so it would be harder to eat with cloth over your fingers. (the competition is more than just about the girl example, as my background shows a variety, people can be inspired by as long as with a single glove, but you can overlap the viewpoint of what she makes you think of with that article of protection)

      if that's the topic you go with, all in all make sure not to support it yet we should comprehend it ~

      I thought it would keep writers focussed as the idea kept making me think of the standards, emphasized,when I saw it usedin another contest. But the intention wasn't to scare people.

      I've taken those DQ things off; have another look?
