Prairie sundown
Raises me up
The peace of a gentle end
Subdues the day’s winds
To scattered breezes
Playing in tall grass
Painted ambient amber
I breathe in
With a rush like the wind
Then out as a breeze
While the brazen sky
Sings the final notes
Of its golden lullaby
Prairie Sundown
Just off Highway 555

Pic and a Word Challenge
Last time we made ourselves giddy with Spin.
This time let’s breathe in the peace of a Sundown. Or seek something else to inspire you in this photograph of a prairie sunset in Bindloss, Alberta, Canada.
The Pic and a Word Challenge is a (usually) weekly creativity prompt (usually) offered Mondays.
With each challenge I provide a photograph of mine along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, video, prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, longread or just a few words. You are welcome to use these two elements (photograph and word) literally, thematically or metaphorically. If you create both images and words, all the better.
To participate:
- Use any title you like
- Your response can be words and/or images
- You may use my image to illustrate your post, or any images you have created
- Mention that you are responding to the Pic and a Word Challenge
- Add a link to this post in your response
To help us find your response — whether on WordPress, Instagram, Flicker, Tumblr, etc. — you can also:
- Add a comment on this post to announce your response
- Apply the tag/hashtag “Pic and a Word Challenge” or “#picandawordchallenge” to your post
Each week, I’ll list the previous challenge’s responses at the end of the new challenge. I may also share some on my social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc.
The previous challenge was: Spin
The word for last time’s Pic and a Word Challenge #350 was Spin, along with this dizzying photograph of the Middle Head Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Three bloggers took a Spin this time, including two first-time challengers. Thanks, everyone, and welcome aboard! ❤ 🙂
