Breaking free from that storm,
That clouds your poetic mind,
Brings out your deepest beauty.

Once I saw it I thought of a storm of the mind and then I looked at the other pictures and thought breaking free. So I decided to pick this picture. Hope you like. ^^"

WONDERFUL!!! I loved this peace, so full of imagery. And I love storms too, they are so relaxing and peacful...and poetic within themselves. Thank you for your entry.

I really like this. I think it describes the cloud of writer's block very well. I get that when I have so much on my mind that I can't focus on my writing, or when I'm depressed and my mind just feels like it's under a cloud. That's good imagery. I think all writers and poets can relate to this. I can see why it won a trophy. Congratulations on your honorable mention, and thanks for entering my contest.

Thank You!!
Thank You for Your entry: Mind Storms
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and while I was reading which I do several times~ Images come to me in many forms~ After I read, the first line grabs- Love reference to -Breaking free from that storm-
I kept seeing how the *storm* could be perceived as different trials- different challenges within Life- and as told to me- it is *how* the person handles these occurrences- also being shown how people hide themselves behind a mask- afraid to show their natural *beauty* also how it can be somewhat easy in some cases to 'clouds...poetic mind(s)'- with expectations of *perfection* whether metaphor or symbolism
Hopefully that makes some sense...
Excellent take on the prompt in fifteen words ~
Powerful images & message You have brought forth
Thank You for sharing Your Talent also Spirit!
Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
**Judging will be done shortly...
Many blessings too
and much love & light~ Desire~*~

First, I'm glad you enjoyed reading my poem. ^^ Second, somehow everything you stated here makes complete sense. Third, like I stated in my AN it all pretty much threw itself together. I think I kinda went for a metaphorical look at it while I wrote it, but now reading it again I can see how it is symbolic as well. And thank you for making this contest. It was enjoyable, and the idea of it was great. I loved the pictures and how you wanted us to take a few of the so many words that could be read by them.
