Hello, beautiful readers! For this week's WDYS challenge, Sadje has given us the image below and asked us to write a story, poem or caption to connect with it. I've chosen to write a double inverted nonet, with the syllabication pattern of 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9.

The Book Club
flowers wilt aside the empty cup
dust collects upon once used chairs
whispers of past enjoyment
crave for listening ears
curiosity
stolen by the
digital
gaming
world
~wait~
hear that
listen close
creaking hinges
bring in the sunlight
readers with books enter
laughter fills the air again
new flowers bloom, wine glasses filled
the world of imagination lives
Would you like to write a poem about this picture? Join us here.
The first part of the poem was sad but loved the reversal in the next lines. Digital world hold much to amuse us but nothing compared to reading a book together. Thanks for joining in with this lovely poem. Sadje.
