Poetry: Malediction

Include amid your praises,

King

My Malediction:

For laid in the ashes

Of witches you have burned

Are my wife and daughters

My heart is charred black

Seared of all but hate

I shall make you my brother

In pain

A dear fellow witness

To a family in flames

I really enjoy reading your snippets with the images, and I’d like to do something like that. Can you tell me what programs and tech you’re using to create these?

Thanks!

  Thank you, Deby. :-)
  
  All the pictures are from free to use images, mostly from pixabay.com . I crop, resize and convert them (along with sometimes adding other effects) with a free program called Paint.Net. I add the text effects using another free program called Inkscape.

    Thanks for the info. I’ve been using a program called Canva for other things, and I did a quick snippet in a square format that should work on Instagram and Facebook. It looks okay, although as I go on I may find the Canva backgrounds don’t quite suit my fantasy snippets.
