Claude Monet’s “Iris”

Scrittura Third Thursday Prompt

Iris” (1924–1925) by Claude Monet, 1925) http://1925)_Claude_Monet_(W1836).jpg

Dainty, yellow, wispy, lilting swaying to the bright azure standing proud upon plush sand in seeking eyes she’ll surely lure

For this week’s “Thursday” prompt, I chose a Claude Monet work that appealed to my innermost sense of beauty — Please channel your stunning, ekphrastic self and paint something pretty with your words. Let the image, “Iris” by Claude Monet, guide you. As you can see, I just got started, but I will try my best to finish along with you! I can’t wait to see your muses shine. Mine is still journeying in a colorful abyss.

As always:

• Please use this image as that displayed in your poem or piece; don’t choose another image.
• Write prose, poetry, or prose poetry.
• Perhaps research the artist and painting first — this usually sparks the muse within me.
• Tag me, the other editors, as well as Scrittura.
