We are so close to the finish line! Today, your prompt is to use a photo of yourself or someone you love - or a photo of an object. Write a poem about the photo, or in the margins of the photo. Tell the story - or speak from the perspective of the person in the photo. Write around it, to it, above it, about it. Hold it and tell the story. I am sharing a photo and poem from my daughter below: Araceli Flores, age 10.

Poem 29/30 excerpt

This photo makes my heart hurt—

is the note I send

when my friend who has moved far

far away shares it

our kids walking home from school

before our lives rocked apart.
