By Joyce Jacobo
[Author’s Note: One thing I love about being a writer is that the places we visit can inspire our works. We can experience new destinations, and then use what we’ve learned when creating tales about various characters.]
I wanted to bring a character on a quest
through a vast field dominated
by wildflowers…
…so I visited a field within a 15-minute drive
of my house
where poppies bloomed in hues
from bright yellow to deep crimson
Each flower swished
against my ankles as if
I walked among waves
that lapped a shoreline
with every breath of wind
Meanwhile
the cloudless blue skies stretched
in reflective serenity
Then a chorus of honks sounded
and I watched a flock of geese
sail past overhead in V-formation
off to the lake
just beyond the field….
….
….
…
I penned a scene that evening for my character
where she moved among the floral visions
(such as I had seen)
watched them dance like waves
noted the tickle of petals on her skin
and gazed toward the skies where birds sang
then she moved onto the bank of a lake
there to lay down for a time
and enjoy the setting
before her journey continued
Another amazing piece. Such vivid imagery. Beautiful .💕
