The Woman at the Top

From Arleen at Starting over, Accepting Changes-Maybe

Snap.   

Snap. Snap. “Okay, darling, now try this with your arms raised, you know, like you just did a triple on the balance beam.  Marvelous!”

Snap.  Snap.  “Remember to smile!  This is a victorious moment: you’ve made it to the top! Work it!  Work it!  Fabulous!”

Snap.  Snap.  “Now, let’s try it with you taking a few steps back closer to the edge….
What do you mean you’re done?...
What are you doing?...
Hey, give me back the camera!...
I mean it: Give me back the damn camera!...
That camera cost…Nooooooo!
You idiot!  I knew I should have gone with that other model…”

“Where are you going?  No, don’t drive off without me!  I’m sorry...I didn't mean it about the other model!...I'll get a new camera…don’t leave me here…I hate heights…”

PhotoPrompt #6: The Old Man

What do you see in this man's face?  What is he seeing?  What might he be thinking or doing?

Take a chance and leap into writing a quick flash fiction, prose, poetry--whatever.  Just link it back to this photo and its source (which can be found under the photo).

Then be bold and check out the following sites, who are or might be posting their own photoprompt, just for you.  Think of it exercising the little gray cells!

Eclipsing Love--Venus in Transit

Source

Burning a trail

 Across scorching

Yellow star,

Brave little planet

Venus--

Goddess of Love.

eyes closed 

against the blaze of pure light

Small fury

Making a journey.

Goddess

Crosses over solar storms

Seeking its orbit.

Planet against star—

Will both burn

to cinders?

The little black dot is Venus.  The large orange ball is the Sun!  Who will win?
