Perfect for photography: protagonist is a photographer, although amateur. She joins a contest for a card company that is looking for photography and poetry. She's also a writer. She submits the following two poems:

Tonight's the magical night
where witches take flight
and children in silly masks
go door to door and ask--
"Trick or treat?!"
and are rewarded in sweets:
pumpkins' glittering lights
wishing you a Halloween so bright!

Today as I watched the Autumn sun rise,
wind rustling, red and orange leaves fly--
it reminds me of you:
sailing on the water so blue
watching the rainbow reflect
the final days before winter connects.
I hope today you will let the wind
take you on a journey and for a spin,
scents of cinnamon and apple circle you
in all of your dreams and wishes come true.

Happy Autumn!
