The Versenators Forum Versenators' Challenge # 13

Needless to say, Versenators� Challenge # 12 was the biggest success the caf� had ever witnessed. The picture challenge generated 15 literary pieces that were not only aesthetically remarkable, but also breathtakingly rich in perspective and originality. Many of these poems became featured in the Popular-Poems section of the site. Congratulations on a wonderful week of literary achievement. I am sending you all a list of all poems that had been written for your quick reference.

Challenge # 13 is to write about something that inspires you. It can be a person, a character from history, a thing, an incident, a place, a location, or even an object that you feel holds a lot of meaning to you. Write your poem or story about that particular thing and attach the Versenators code to it. For those of you who loved the last challenge, I am sending a picture for a theme in case you don�t have anything that inspires you at the moment. So, either one; you choose.

Good luck! -Nihad

Relentless

Versanators Challenge # 13 -

Something that inspires you...

The something - Pablo Picasso's "Guitarista Vieja"

Response -
---------------------------------------------------------

"Guitarista Vieja"

A broken hand must have captured you
And stolen your secret chords
A captured wretch
Sitting, Dancing in the pains of blue

A period passed, the rose to the blue
We were stuck in the moment
Echoes of you, the artist
When you were once so true

To yourself
Before becoming the first international superstar
You remembered the 'Concierto de Aranjuez',
The 'Malaguena' -

The guitarist that once enchanted fair Spanish maidens
Now lost to antiquity
As a thousand failed brushstrokes
Still -

You were, and always will be,
My favorite -
