   I laughed when I read this. Maybe it’s my brain’s unique design features but I have a block when it comes to poetry accompanied by pictures. I think words should be strong enough to stand alone. Oh yeah, I love reading your work.

     I think an accompanying picture often detracts from the poem’s own imagery, myself. Though WordPress won’t ‘Freshly Press’ a blog post unless it has a photo. Hence, I have never been freshly pressed. (I don’t often iron, either). 😉

   Lot’s of thoughts going on around about perfectionism. Must be in the water. Or the flowers. Nicely done.

   I also laughed when I read this. 🙂 If someone is going to use a photo to accompany a poem, they should at least know what the photo contains!
