The Treasured Key

8/15/2020

Each week, author Suzanne Burke invites readers to use her photo prompt to write a poem or tell a story. Her Fiction in A Flash Challenge! is now in its 13th week. Perhaps you'd like to participate? This week's image prompt is an antique key.

When I saw the photo of the key, I thought of walking in the woods and discovering this artifact. I superimposed the image on a forest scene and then hiked the imaginary path. A prayer/poem emerged, which I share as my contribution to this week's Fiction in a Flash Challenge.

Thank you, Joan. I always take an early morning walk, and the image of the key in the leaves set the stage for this little reverie. ♥
