In the grass

[jennae]

I love ekphrastic poetry, this felt like those early days of spring to me, defrosting from the winter.

[LeeAnn Pickrell]

Thanks, Jennae.

[Paul Wittenberger]

Wonderful, LeeAnn. I love how you managed to move your poem to match the mood of Sargent’s painting. Well done!

[LeeAnn Pickrell]

Thanks so much, Paul.

“cockleburs hurt” made me chuckle. Well punctuated!

[LeeAnn Pickrell]

Thanks!

[Brent Stiggins]

Lovely. Life so often not what we imagined, all those cockleburs.

[Lisa Jensen]

What a beautiful, evocative poem! This makes me want to play around with the same prompt.

[LeeAnn Pickrell]

I'd love to see what you write.

[Margaret Ann Silver]

I love this. The stories/painting come together in a moving, surprising way.

[LeeAnn Pickrell]

Thanks so much, Margaret!

These are wonderful, LeeAnn. The grounding cynicism (realism? caution? love? all of them?) from your brother.... 🙌🏼

[LeeAnn Pickrell]

A bit of of everything...

[Weston Parker]

Very good, thank you LeeAnn

[Sandra Austin Mello]

Beautiful!

[LeeAnn Pickrell]

Thanks so much, Sandra.

I’ve been scheduling time every day to lie in the grass and look up at the clouds. So much writing has come from it. Highly recommend 10/10 no notes

Well, you got good inspiration for this poem is not bad at all, and it fits the picture quite well. Inspiration here gave a good thing which is not always the same. All inspired poems are not good or end up being good.
