A newer (for myself) poetry form, though it is an old one..:) With photo

(I entered this on a poetry contest forum, but did not win. However, I did receive queries from other published poets who wanted to start a book of Ekphrasis poems and asked if I wanted to join them.

Future (have you ever thought about what, where, who you hope to be

when you leave this realm?)
