Every day visits*
From Moose, Goose, and Orb Weaver
All seized by Haiku

"Why moose and goose?" you may ask. Back on 2/04/13 Pirate wrote a haiku with an elk in it, and I responded with
one with a moose and then included him every day. A few days later in comments Mystic asked "Where's the goose?"
So I started including her with this post on 2/07. A week later on the 14th, Mark Readfern
asked for and received a spider. The rest is history.

*Well, most days, anyway. Grant me a bit of poetic license.

Five Sentence Fiction - Inspire

I'm very late to this one.  Well, sometimes life aint easy.  But there are still over 13 hours left - so  .  .  .


INSPIRE

 When she woke from the dream, Marci felt drawn to her easel.

Usually she would carefully strategize and then sketch out a drawing; this time the paints almost seemed to spontaneously fly to the canvas, as if the brush were guiding her hand.

Eventually, it dawned on her that he hadn't yet had breakfast, so she set the brush down and stepped back for a moment.

Yes - the likeness was almost perfect; she had captured the dreamy beauty of that long oval face, though her eyes weren't quite the exact shade of green.

Now - to get the angle just right on her wing  .  .  .

Reduced to a haiku

Image from a dream
Brought to life on a canvas
With green eyes and wings

    I love the image of paint flying spontaneously to the canvas, and the brush guiding her hand - now that's inspiration!

    I have to agree with Janelle; the image you have created here is beautiful for inspiration with the brush guiding her. Very clever. Love the Haiku too; we're teaching them in school next week and you have definitely inspired me there! xx

    Beautiful description, sounds like the kind of dream you don't really want to wake from! Great to be able to paint it before it fades...
