Guess I'm out of synch
With what others think
Wanting to please others, you see
I may as well have shot a tree

I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree
So in this case, I think you should,
Have taken pictures of some wood!

Mine's doing a bit over 6, which I'm happy with as I haven't entered much lately.

I'm really impressed by the overall quality of the shots in this challenge! There should be some pretty high scores in this one.

But wait I think there's more
I saw a photo not of a tree
not of a ship nor even a door

Maybe better lean more toward Ogden Nash than John Milton then ...

Details: Take a photo that would make a good poem. The title of your image should be the title of the poem. Voters are encouraged to write the poem in the comments.

I took this to mean that we could take a photo that would make a good poem... and title the image with the title of the poem. The poem could be a famous work, or we could write our own poem... to include in the comments.

Was I wrong?

Does the poem have to be a famous poem?
