Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it.
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN

Sisyphus halted, startled. There were stairs on the hill! If he could use them to help hold the great boulder in place, he might finally get it up to the top of the hill!
And then a voice came from nearby. A man was standing in a pool with branches from an apple tree hanging over his head. He was laughing.
“Don’t think your luck has turned, Sisyphus,” he said. “I saw Hades set the stairs up. They’re designed to look sturdy, but collapse if you rest the boulder on them. Funny guy, that Hades.” And he gave a laugh loaded with irony and desperation.
Sisyphus groaned. Yeah, it would be like Hades, But he pushed the boulder toward the stairs anyhow.

Brilliant, Brian. And I confess, it does feel a bit like that… I show only a part of those steps! I’m reminded of Gollem. Up, up, up we goes…

Can’t resist giving you the version I know:
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. At least that’s what they told us but now she’s got a daughter.

There is a slightly different version, but I’ll keep that to myself
