    You decreased my response time from six months to three months that means I'm improving.
    (positive side of every provocation)

    Bumping up thread after 2.5 years!

    Basic idea is that one member posts a picture and responding posters write a response to the picture. Here's some more from the first post:

    Let's try something we never tried before. We have stampede of writing styles ranging from factual, journalistic, creative to rhetoric in the forum. Here are the rules of the game to wring those inventive minds.

    Step#1: OP (original poster) posts a picture
    Step#2: RP (responding posters) transcribe facts, or, feelings, emotions, thoughts around that picture and post. Keep it short to one paragraph of no more than seven lines.

    One can attempt from varied angles i.e, entry#1: factual description of the picture, entry#2: metaphorical or allegorical prose #3: poetic verse. .... Let's not shy away from acquiring and improving language skills by discussing how best to describe a particular landscape, physiognomy, motion of objects or even the geometric forms and colors in the frame.

    Quiet Night Lights still Bright
    Auto that was a busy bee
    Now at rest
    As Everything calms down
    and unwinds
    In the corner of her
    single room house
    roofed with asbestos
    She quietly lies down
    on her old saree
    After a long day of hard work
    drifting slowly into sleep
    forgetting her worries and pain
    Temporarily …
    Night unfolds
    It’s dark beauty blanket
    With shiny stars
    And embraces her with care
    Gently carrying her to a
    Beautiful dreamland
    Giving her a reason to Smile
    Just like the single bulb
    in the dark Veranda
    That flickers through
    Midnight …

    I had wanted to share this horrible incident which I read in news recently in another thread but felt hard to discuss this and did not do so yet. I felt terribly upset on hearing the news. I remembered the Nirbhaya incident. I wrote this kind of prose or maybe poem. Didn’t want to post for sometime but finally posted it. I do wish that the girl comes out of this trauma soon and the culprits get hard sentencing / verdicts.

    Two more accused held in Rajasthani woman sexual assault case - Times of India
    I imagined the picture as the hostel.

    A new hope
    Prospects in a new land
    Arrived with lots of hope
    And dreams aplenty!

    A night ride in auto
    Driven by a person’s desire
    To earn more
    Who made a circuitous route
    And dumping in a remote area!

    Alas, what did I do to end here!
    What did I do to get trampled here!
    What did I do to those four rogues!
    What did I do for the first auto driver!

    So many what ifs or buts!
    But what I had was mental strength
    Helpful colleagues in new place
    Good superintendent who filed the case
    And arrested the rogues
    The auto driver still at large!

    Whenever I enter the hostel at night
    Sight of auto makes me tremble
    One that dumped me
    One that returned me
    Thinking how life can change
    In a night on an auto ride!

    @Rihana,

    Thanks for highlighting my painting here.
    I couldn't just resist the temptation of scribling a few words.:facepalm: So, here is my effort...
    ***

    In the darkness,
    A little light shows you the way ahead,
    A little light shines the brightest dispelling many a myth.
    O man! In the depth of your heart shine
    A little light and brighten forever
    The pathway of love and truth.

    For who knew it was an old hospital which resembled a house, one that stood for ages....
    One rainy dark night when a pregnant girl in her late teens had no where to go and no one to look after, a generous auto driver bought her to this hospital.
    Years rolled by and the auto driver still treats the girl as her daughter.
    The son works as a doctor in the same hospital and also educates everyone about good mind and good health....
