Suspended and waiting,
Isolated and alone against the angry sky.
How did I get here?

Today I am again combining Thursday's "In 15 Words or Less" with "Poetry Friday."
"In 15 Words or Less" is a Photo/Poetry Challenge. Each week, a new photo is posted at LauraSalas and the challenge is to write a poem in 15 Words or Less. I have given myself an additional challenge: do it in 15 minutes or less.
I'm challenging YOU, yes, YOU! Give this a go today, whether you share your poem or not. It's a really good way of forcing yourself to put into words an immediate reaction. In fifteen words or less, you have to keep it focused and concentrated. It's probably easier than you think. So, go ahead. Give it a go. And let me know in the comments if you took the challenge.
Two Writing Teachers is hosting Poetry Friday tomorrow. You can find more Poetry Friday entries over there. If you want to play along, you can find the hosting schedule for Poetry Friday in the sidebar at Big A little a

Okay, Kim. You inspired me to try. I didn't have the Live ID account so my post at Laura's came through as anonymous. It's called "Out There".
Thanks for the challenge.
Only one brave soul!
Way to go, Elle!
I'm new to "15 Words or Less" but it was quite the fun, quick poetry exercise. Loved yours.
