LENS-ARTISTS CHALLENGE – BOKEH

https://photographias.wordpress.com/2022/04/09/lens-artists-challenge-bokeh

Bokeh is defined as “the effect of a soft out-of-focus background that you get when shooting a subject, using a fast lens, at the widest aperture, such as f/2.8 or wider.” Simply put, bokeh is the pleasing or aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus blur in a photograph.

Are these photos a perfect example of bokeh?

PROMPT #168

SITUATION

A breakdown in domestic water supply

CHARACTERS

• President of a municipal corporation
• A harangued home-maker
• Founder of a fund-raising startup
• Seller of water tankers 
• A poet/writer

COMPLEXITIES WHICH CAN BE ADDED

Work-from-home scenarios, Covid, weather or whatever you can think of.

TASK

Write a story as small as a sentence, or as large as 500 words, or somewhere in between. I promise to read the entire piece.

If you can tell a poetic tale or write a ballad, you are most welcome to do it.

The story has to be from the perspective of any one of the given characters. The other characters in the piece can be one or more of those listed here or any other character you can introduce in the plot. No restrictions on those self-driven bots which take over your thoughts.

---

sometimes pain is so intense

grief so unbearable

heart writhes mind numbs

but

tear glands refuse to release

a single tear

a total water breakdown

of water

have you ever experienced

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #148

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #148

I am inspired by the following words and offer the same as a writing prompt for this week.

1. Silhouette
2. Shade
3. Phantom
4. Spirit

Phantoms

insomniac mind

plays a trick

you hear 

someone 

crooning a lullaby

nothing but

a phantom wind rustling

the curtains

even that you try to cling on

phantoms are better

than nothing

Silhouetted?

depends

on which side you are

Shade

always black and white

life for me, no shades of gray

missed fun  undoubtedly 

 

Spirit

mind, body or spirit

a unique creation or

just, a fusion of cells

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #98- Perspective

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #98

PROMPT WORD

Perspective

I have changed my perspective

till now it was

thank God!

the glass is half full

now

I see the glass half empty

worried

horribly

if our attitude

towards

misuse and

wastage of water

continues

soon

we will be left

with the empty glass

 

 

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #89- Surrender

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #89

https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2019/05/30/reenas-exploration-challenge-89/

sad, depressed, heart-broken

wandering along the seashore

calm, cool, soothing water

invites

I take a dip in the sea

water  tastes like my tears

waves  caress, wash traces of tears

whisper in my ear ‘don’t break down or bow out

be like us

carefree and courageous’

I surrender-

Floating with the waves

Time stands still to watch

Wind sings lullaby
