At
dVerse Poetics Grace has invited us to write to the delightfully vibrant
artwork of Sunita Khedekar. She also
encouraged us to use color words with the help of The Phrontistery. The piece I chose to write to reminded me of a
cabin we’ve stayed at a few times with a private outdoor hot tub in a beautiful
natural setting…trees, creek…just picturesque. We
always chuckle at a sign they have posted there that reads, “We don’t skinny dip, we chunky dunk.” Anyway, however
you are…make a splash. ;)
love.
ReplyDeletethe memory quilting is a great close

Thank you so much for your prayers and offering of support during Mom's illness. It meant the world to me.

DeleteOh, I really liked the word play here! Really enjoyable to think about the 'splash, giggling.'
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you took the painting and heard its sounds! I especially enjoyed the finale.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun, Jennifer: the words harmonizing with Sunita Khedekar's artwork, beautifully - and the onomatopoeia (hope I've got that right) whimsical and BANG on!
ReplyDeletea great memory - I'm sure it always brings a shared smile.

ReplyDeleteoh i love the sounds and the carefree feel of the poem.. just like a day with a loved one by the sea... very cool
ReplyDeleteThe patchwork quilt is what I seem but your interpretation of the swimming was totally unexpected but very effective ;)
ReplyDeleteWell done for combining the sounds with the visuals... I agree it would have fitted with the Blind Poet prompt as well... light and fun too!
