I'd love to see a challenge dedicated to capturing one lush vivid line from your favorite poem.

Hmmm... "It gives me great pleasure to sit upon you."
That's from a poem I wrote about a lawn. ;-) |

Exquisite.
My favourite poems do not have any lush vivid lines. They have no adjectives at all.
I'd therefore prefer a photograph that is itself a poem to one merely descriptive of one.
My favourite poems are not about something. They just are.
They are trees, stones, slums, a chair or a way of tossing one.
My favourite photographs are themselves object and function.
I'm suggesting that I cannot, effectively, capture a lush vivid line from my favourite poem, unless
I can make the photograph an equal presence, an object in its own right.

Wow zeuszen..that's deep man. Seriously though, It'd be a challenge to our abilities as art directors. After all, the concept isn't nearly so different as the challenges that we're given here anyways. The challenges guide us in a certain direction (usually, a poem could be treated as no different. For instance:
"The world is charged with the grandeur of God"- Gerrard Manley Hopkins
that one line could be treated photographically in so many different ways.
