Christine Swint’s second winning submission for our September contest was written in response to Fernando de Sousa’s untitled photo of the Docklands, Melbourne. She thought the guard rail looked like the Rolling Stones’ mouth logo, without the tongue.
Thanks to everyone who entered our September contest. You can find all the winning postcards here. The deadline for our October contest is this Saturday, November 15.

Excellent poem! Love the Stones reference, too. He wanted “all of me or nothing” is great. I see a couple of different levels of meaning, too. The obvious sexual meaning but also other levels are at play. Awesome picture, too.

Anything to do with the Rolling Stones and lips goes to the top of my list. Very clever, Christine.
“My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She’s a mean, mean machine
Start it up
If you start me up
Give it all you got”

These postcards of yours are amazing. I see a chapbook in them, a packet to keep and mail. Or both and all. I do. (I want one, or two.)

Deb, we should tell Fernando your idea. A lot of his photos are visual puns, and he also comes up with clever titles.

Ooooh, oooh, oooh… I hear collaboration in the works. Yummy!
The Rolling Stones aren’t the only rock-n-roll forces at work here. Sexy, gritty, and a little twisted… Sublime perhaps
