flattened aerosol can

Rethabile Masilo created this poetry postcard in GIMP with a photo by Fernando de Sousa. It’s one of six winners from our September contest. (We’ll publish another postcard made with the same image next week.)

Congratulations, Rethabile!

    Rethabile, this one has a sense of humor. The aerosol man does look like he’s been out on the town, a bit deflated after a night out. Good one!
