To begin our creative endeavour, we took inspiration from the world around us. Here are some photos of what we found and the words they inspired: Note: Poem inspired by Blossoms The world is Cold, damp, icy and bleak. I turn away To sleep In the dark, sacred ground. It is a deep sleep. A sleep of dreams – Filled with snatches of Moonlight Sunlight An atmosphere Steeped in rainbow hues. Warm and gentle Wide with space A lightness A softness A blanket of calm. I awaken and stretch Push through the ground To reach up high. My branches extend Blossoms right to the ends. Their petals Touches of Centered in swirls of pink That melt into the colour Of new snow. At ease and at peace I look up Through my crown Only to find: A stained-glassed Cathedral’s window Cut out of The blue light of the sky. By Xandi Orford Another image used as a writing prompt was this image of aloes. Dry land of sticks Singed by wind Just the orange Burning Aloes Snaking up like tongues Trying to lick the moisture Off the wide, empty sky by Xandi Orford We hope these images and words have made you smile - and with a little luck, write. Let us know if they did.
