Since today is the first day of 'spring, 2018, I am sharing some lovely spring photos and quotes that will hopefully inspire you to write something. After the drabness of winter, the delicate beauty and uplifting colors should make us want to sing, dance and, yes, to write. A beautiful spring day is good for the soul.
Spring offers writers opportunities to use similes, metaphors, write heartfelt poems, and memorable descriptive phrases. As an exercise today, go through these photos and freewrite after each one. What will the words, the colors, the beauty of the flowers and more bring to mind? You won't know until you give it a try.
Why bother to do this exercise? One could end up as a paragraph in a work in progress. Another might be the first draft of a poem.
You see the beauty in each of these photos, but don't forget to add the soft sounds of spring, the scents and the touch of that dandelion under you chin to see if you like butter. (A childhood memory for me. How about you?) Don't forget the emotional possibilities, too.
