Poppies, Sails ’n Dreams
O’er Gulf of Maine’s blue, a gull soars high ’n free …

As a sail-rigged skiff slips silently alee,
days-of-yore dreams through my voyager’s soul flow.Richard Jenkins

Description
Art, like poetry, is expression. Both paint vivid images, through rhythm. Poetry prompts will be given by Stars Rite member Trillium. He will post an image of his choosing based on a painting, drawing, photograph or digital art, with a prompt relative to the image. As a teacher, artist and poet himself, he has a unique ability to call attention to details most of us miss while also seeing the larger picture. Please take the time to savor the instructions. A unique approach, Trillium uses these exact types of prompts with his biology class students. A new prompt will be given monthly, with a brief description of the image. Please post your entry as a comment on the prompt given. Cover art courtesy of Trillium.
