This style/design of poetry was inspired through a conversation with my lovely girlfriend. After a long discussion about what a poem could be and should be, we made a quick google search later on and we came across poems that depicted images, so I wanted to try one. I am constantly being amazed by this strange and wonderful world of poems and can’t wait to see what I discover next.

Thankyou Mil H. for the prompt. You can find his piece below.

Tagging: Rochelle Silva, Blank Voice, Aimée Gramblin, Suzanne V. Tanner and David Sales if you’re up to it and anyone else interested in this prompt: What foods do you like to eat with rice?

If you want to check out some of my other work why not start with a short story I wrote recently.

I’d also like to shout out another awesome storyteller A Simple Box of Limitless Stories. I really enjoyed his Faerie Tales: A Cub’s Courage.

Thank you for reading! and have a nice day.
