I won't

The image from Magpie Tales prompt this week slayed me. I couldn't write anything except this. I decided after balking internally the best thing I could do was write exactly what I wrote. Nothing more and nothing less.

Check out the prompt here, at Magpie Tales. Join in the writing - I always love it, even when this happens. ^giggles^

I won't write this photo.

I refuse to take the pathos
and bleed it onto the page.
I can't do confessional.
And I refuse to do fictional.
So I will stand here, arms
folded across my chest and
shout, "Hell no!" and leave
before any more damage
is done. I won't write this photo.

Somehow I can't see the lady, just the cloth/robe. It reminded me of something totally different.

That has happened to me. And I was told it is wise, when it won't, don't. Thanks for the comment on my post.

I'm with you -- no confessional. But fictional? I'm all for that. :-)

You tell 'em, girl! Always be true to your own convictions...
