Today’s prompts will all be ekphrastic prompts. A few weeks ago I went to an art festival and came across the painting. I loved it immediately. If you would like to see more paintings by the artist, check out her Instagram account: paintings_by_desi.
For the first prompt, write a poem inspired by this painting.
The artist told me this painting was inspired by Delia Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing. Your second prompt is to choose a scene from a favorite book and describe it as if it were a painting.
The third prompt is similar to the previous: write a poem, describing a scene in a favorite movie.
For the last prompt, listen to a song you like. As it plays, write down the words that catch your attention. Build a poem from the wordlist you’ve made.
Good luck writing!
