Black and White Photography For Contest

In new perspective I see you Now no color spoils the view Shadows bow to black and gray Deeply contrast light of day I prefer you White and black A pure light source Floods your back White streams radiate your sharp boned face With illuminating fragile grace V. Anderson-Throop, 2015 March 4

Thanks Connie...the contests are a reward for the writers in that we write things we wouldn't have without the stimulus. It is all in the eyes of the beholder....art is subjective...we all have our own point of view..but thank you for your high regard! Always good to hear from you...

Contests are a great way for our work to get exposure - sometimes just miss reading poems and then they are brought to our attention:-) Hugs jan xx

thanks Jan. This was another poem that never would have "seen the light of day" without a contest! It was a trick of fate...V
