At Long Last, a Second Batch of Paul’s Poetry Playground Photo Poetry Prompts…

Dear Readers,

Please forgive me! In November of last year, I posted on this blog what I announced would be the first in a planned series of monthly photo prompts to help inspire you to write new poetry, flash fiction, or whatever you like to write. Now we are in the second week of March 2025, and I suddenly realize that I have yet to post another one. So after an inexcusibly long time, here is a second batch of six photos (all of them come from my color photography blog “Paul’s Wonderful World of Color” @ https://thewonderfulworldofcolor77109243.wordpress.com which I hope you will check out). Hopefully at least one of these photos might inspire you to start writing some brand-new work based upon it. What you decide to do with the finished piece, of course, is totally up to you although we’d love for you to share it with us on your own blogs. If you do decide to post it online or submit it to be published in a literary journal, you have my permission to include the photo as well as long as you agree to give me credit as the photographer:

Good luck, my friends! Hope these photos will help trigger your own poetic and literary muses, and you will be blessed with a bounty of new writing ( I also promise to try my best to get the next batch of pics up on this blog on time). Thank you so much for reading! Please take care, and keep writing, and living the literary life!

Introducing a New Monthly Series of Paul’s Poetry Playground Photo Poetry Prompts…

Dear Readers, 

I am pleased to announce that today’s post is the first in a planned series of monthly photo prompts to help inspire you to write new poetry, flash fiction, or whatever you like to write. All the photos will come from my color photography blog “Paul’s Wonderful World of Color” @ https://thewonderfulworldofcolor77109243.wordpress.com which I hope you will check out (If you do, as an extra bonus, you may also find that each blog post’s title such as “A Study in Brown” or “Monkey Behind the Door” may provide additional inspiration for your writing. Also while visiting the site, if there is any way that you can like a post or subscribe to follow my blog, I would truly be grateful to you).

Hopefully at least one of these photos will inspire you to start writing some brand-new work based upon it.
