I've given Laura Jayne permission to use pictures from my picture blog (and this blog) on Pictures, Poetry & Prose. She recently used this picture:
I've become quite interested in the ancient art of Haiku. It's not just your 5-7-5 prose anymore, like back in elementary school. There are tons of rules and variations of said rules, many of which contradict each other. I thought I'd take my first crack at Haiku with this picture. The winner, by the way, was Marc, who wrote a beautiful piece that evoked many wonderful childhood memories. I've begun following Marc's blog, Daily Writing Practice, to help me get my writing groove on.
Our prompt: "Write a poem with a chocolate theme."
My submission:
* * *
heavenly cocoa
melts sensuously on lips
hips widen

Dear god, why must that picture look so amazing at 8:30 something in the morning. I wish that was on my desk right now... love your poem!
Haha. Nice one.
Love it! Chocolate is worthy of poetry for sure! Hips widen, sad but true for most of us!
