New Prompt -- Words & Pictures--- 11/14
November 14, 2007
The Yellow Blouse by William Merritt Chase

Today's prompt is a two-parter again. First a poem to interpret this picture, then a story to accompany the poem. A week-long project. Or if you're inclined, just one or the other.

New Prompt 11/7 Words and Pic--A Dual Challenge
November 7, 2007

I find this painting inspiring--it's moody, full of potential for storytelling. This is a dual challenge to write  not only a poem, but a story, interpreting this painting. Fill the week with this challenge, posting your poem and story as separate entities.  The title is Working Late, but use another theme.  If you'd rather, just do one or the other, a poem or a story. But have fun!

Words and Picture Challenge -- The Baker
August 27, 2007

 

When I first saw this painting, I fell in love with it. The breads and rolls look real enough to grab up one and spread it with butter. As for the baker, well, you decide. Your challenge: write a poem or short  story based on this picture, any form, any length.

No rush. Don't forget to check back to see who else posted. If you don't want to blog it, you can paste your writing in the forum instead.  Good luck and have fun!

Another Picture Challenge

Words and Pictures! 

Interpret one of  the paintings below, your choice, with verse, story, or essay. Any length, form, or genre. Let your imagination go wild. To know more about the paintings, go here; although I would prefer you do not let the reality of the scene depicted come into your piece. Just see them as nameless people and go from there.

OR

 

Enjoy!

The Words & Picture Challenge
August 5, 2007

Drawing Words from Other Creative Outlets

Okay, now here is a challenge that should even make Bob take pause. Study the picture above, The Dining Room, by impressionistic painter, Paul Signac. Consider all the details while you search for inspiration.

Write whatever you like from this painting. It can be a poem, a story, an essay, whatever suits your fancy. Try more than one if your name is Bob. If you want to try one of the older challenges first, and try this later, that's okay. I'm a bit behind myself. There are a couple older ones I still want to do.

Good luck, everyone!
