Small. A Photography and Poetry Prompt
For my photography and poetry prompt this week, I doing things a bit different around here.
If you read my post yesterday about my 3 goals for the coming year, I said that I wanted to make more use of my YouTube channel and I am putting that into practice, starting with my poetry.
First, the image is one of my favourites of Grace. She was 3 at the time and this photo was taken as we walked into the church at my brother’s wedding. You wouldn’t have known it to look at her, but she had just gotten over an awful case of chicken pox.
This week, I am reading my poem ‘Small’ set to a montage of photographs of Grace aged 3 and under. I really think it helps people hear the tone of the poem better and makes such a difference! I would love to know what you think.
I’m not sure if I’m in the right place for your Sunday Photo, but I certainly enjoyed this post. Beautiful photos and poem… thanks for sharing ;D
It isn’t – but I am so glad you found my poem 🙂 Thanks for listening and for your comment x
I don’t think I’ll ever have the confidence to read mine aloud but I love that you do. Wonderful. As are Grace’s curls! 🙂 xox
Thank you Lisa 🙂 I miss her curls! x
I love this version of your poetry, Victoria! It changes the whole dynamic of the poem because of being read aloud. There’s so much more emotion and tonality to it. It’s quite lovely 🙂 Thank you for sharing another collection of photos and beautiful words with us.
Thank you so much Maria – I think it really adds to the effect xx
Grrrr – my internet is playing up this morning – or rather not playing and it won’t let me watch the clip 🙁
Thank you for popping over – I hope you get to hear it x
Lovely Vic, the photo montage is beautiful and it’s wonderful to hear you speak. Such a lovely poem x
Thank you so much Sara – and thank you for watching x

Wow that YouTube clip was just beautiful Victoria. I had tears in my eyes. What a very special gift for your daughter.
Oh thank you so much, I really appreciate you watching x
That’s a lovely poem and seeing the photos and hearing your voice really do enhance it.
Thanks Sarah – and thank you for watching x
