For today’s prompt, let’s take a trip to the beach. Choose one of the paintings that follow. Tell us a story (in poem form) about your day at the beach, through the details of the painting. Think about the shapes and structural qualities Picasso incorporates into his work. Include aspects of shape and form in your poem. Please do share with us which painting you’ve chosen.
A sultry day in the month of May
Sisters delight in the ocean waves
Long, beautiful hair released from wraps
Conversation lessens with maybe a nap
Outstretched on the sand, their swimming done
Watching a sailboat that floats in the sun
A far away lighthouse shows the way
When clouds turn dark on sailboat shades
The sisters three gather their things
Beach day is done as a dinner bell rings.

I like the sense of playfulness I get from this.☺️

I have three sisters, and this reminded me of our trip to Florida and our beach times.

I like that you were brave enough to do a rhyme scheme. I haven’t tried one of those in ages. I’ll give it a try on the next one. Thank you so much for posting this.
