Discovering a Character's Voice with Poems and Photography
Voices come to me when I see a snapshot. In my off-guard moment of grasping an image, any ol' character might push through to yak at me, jumping into the photo itself or pointing at the scenery from my train of thought.
"One at a time, one at a time!" I yell over the din. They can get unruly.
In this blog I am giving those voices a chance to be heard, whether it is a character I am working on, or anyone else needing to share their opinion. The photography is mine; the poetry is in a character's voice.
Please leave a comment if you have an epiphany (or hear voices) of your own!
Hey...I know that calm, eyelashes still,
ReplyDeletenose breath wuffling soft :-)
Oo. Wuffling. Such a great word!
ReplyDeleteVery hard to give Jen's voice in haiku! It's so short! Perhaps a longer form like tanka, or a haiku chain. I'll keep trying! And wuffling!
