Creative writing / photography challenge

[ayoub]

OK, so after a few 10 word challenges, let's try two challenges for all of you who like to write, and one of them would be really good if a Photographer (hint hint) had a shot. Oh and jsbrown too.

Challenge No. 1
Take a song that brings back memories of something, or someone, the more powerful the memory the better. Tell me what the song is, and write or illustrate your memory.

Challenge No. 2
Write a Villanelle, any subject you want, but follow the form.

I'll post mine after I've written them :D

a mother's love.

Wherever I may go, may you follow,
so that I may always have you by my side.
May the sun always shine to cast your shadow.

You open my heart, so that it will never be hollow.
For my feelings from you I will never hide.
Wherever I may go, may you follow.

My guiding light through my highs and my lows.
For i know you'll never be far behind.
May the sun always shine to cast your shadow.

Never will I walk alone in my sorrow.
You hold my hand to your heart and promise never to lie.
With you there will always be tomorrow.

So much love for you to show,
I find it hard to keep it all locked up inside.
I keep wondering if you already know.

How much I felt that blow
when Cupid's arrow went awry.
Wherever may i go, may you follow.
May the sun always shine to cast your shadow.
