Writing Prompt #175 “Double Feature!”

Today’s collage was created by Laura Bloomsbury be sure to stop by her blog!

The quote comes from the opening lines of Cirilo Bautista’s poem translation by Jose Reyes “Don’t you know that a mountain is nothing but smoke?”

What is the underlying theme? What’s the story here? The overarching emotions? If you like you can read them like panels in a comic strip it’s up to you how your interpret them. Literal or abstract are both perfectly acceptable.

If you have some great quote suggestions leave them in the comments below and I will use them in a future collage! Alternately if you are a photographer and would like to share some of your photos for the purpose of the collages let me know. If you are interested in making a collage for the prompt, let me know in the comments below.

I didn’t realize that last weeks prompt didn’t go up as I was out of town all weekend and so busy that by the time I realized it, it was too far in the week to post anything. So I decided to give you a double feature this week to compensate. You can write to one or both prompts you don’t have to choose!

Sam found this really cool site that turns your photos into trippy dream images. You have to sign in to use the site but it is very easy and it doesn’t cost a dime. I am including some images I made for you to write about in encase you don’t want to create your own. You can write to multiple images if you like. You can interpret them anyway you like, you can even alter them since they are my personal photos. If you do decide to sign up please share your photo in your post. Once you have chosen your photo(s) I want you to write a short story or poem based on it.
