"Miscarriage" is a contest entry on another site. One had to write a poem based on the picture, and these words came vividly to mind...
"Miscarriage"
I held on as tightly as I dared onto the Light, but the darkness within my womb caused it to die in a rush of hot blood. It slipped to the floor, never to be remembered, extinguished, even, its heartbeat stalled forever. I wish I'd known her name. I had in mind Aurora, the goddess of the dawn ....
Excellent job on the reflections of this superb imagery! I had this unfortunate mishap occur to me seven times and with each one, I lost a part of me along with it ...Sad times...
Love and Peace~

P.S. Hope you and yours had a Blessed Easter! So glad to be back reading and writing!:)
Penetrating and intense, Karla. Very vivid and the agony is apparent in your stark and striking lines. Immediate like the sharpness of the black and white picture. Unique interpretation and a keenly felt write. Let us know how you get on! :)) LOL Kate xx
This is one hell of a powerful and awesome write that captures the image as portrayed and turns it into the agonizing sadness of which you speak. Very emotionally draining to write I imagine.
Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
God Bless
