That trip, as well as reading Stampington Company's new publication "Bella Grace" inspired me to take photos from which to get inspiration for poems and art pieces. I take pictures of events for fun but never considered it as an art form I would be any good at. I need a lot of practice--but I can learn and in the meantime what photos I take can prompt poems and artistic ways to display them.
For my first attempt I am using this photo. I never understood the obsession I see on blogs of people taking photos of their feet, but I tried it and wrote a poem to go with it. I want to take the two and combine them in a scrapbook style art piece that I'll share here when it's done.
curve of stones
leads into the woods,
I follow
unknown directions
hoping
around the bend
that traces a field of
Queen Annes' lace,
my heart waits
to sing me home
to show me what passions
sleep in my future
one step
one step
one curve of stones
closer to my dreams

That little cottage is adorable. I'd love to live in a place like that.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the cutest? Every time we go there it makes my heart jump when I come around the trees and find it nestled in its forest haven. What a lovely little house in which to write and make art. It's my dream home far more than huge mansions.
