Challenged by an inspiration, or inspired by a challenge – either way, I am taking an opportunity to create another Etheree. Thanks to Val Erde her blog Absurd Old Bird, I am using her work to create a piece of my own.
The challenge began with Val, and her post titled, “My challenge to you…”, inviting writers to create something on their own, using one of Val’s paintings and/or poems. Inspired, Woman Wielding Words and She’s a Maineiac took Val up on her challenge.
Moved by the creations of Woman and Maineiac, as well as the one who initiated it all, I decided to throw my pen into the ring.
Using Val’s painting for inspiration, please enjoy the following Etheree.
All of Its Parts
One
body,
mixing with
differences;
working together;
creating new colors;
warm colors and cool colors,
designed by the creator’s strokes;
each color becomes part of the whole;
many different talents blend into one.
Lenore's Thoughts Exactly 
Wow! I love this, Lenore!
Thanks for inspiring me, Darla! You started it.
This is inspired! I’ll add another Wow!
Thanks, Georgette. “Wow” works for me! (smile)
Yep, another wow, here too! Thanks for taking part. I like the way you’ve used colours to blend your poem! 🙂
Val, thank you for sharing your work and inspiring others. I hope you’ll do this again. I am glad you liked my poem. Again, thank you.
Love!
Thanks, Kim! You’re swell!
Double the Love! Double the Wows!
Double the appreciation, Lisa. Double the thanks!
Love it, and love too how it’s shaped like a Hershey’s Kiss!
Thank you, Deborah! Resembling a Hershey’s isn’t a bad thing, right? (smile)
Wow and wow again. I am blown away by just how creative my fellow bloggers are.
Thank you for sharing.
Judith, thank you for your kind words. I hope you’ll come back and read another post or two one day.
I am glad you liked what you read. Regards, Lenore
Love the words. Love the shape of the words. Too cool!!
Thanks M2M. Though the words were planned, the shape was unintentional. Glad you like the way it turned out as a whole!
Color! You wrote about creation and color and I love it! I want to write this on the cover of my painting palette, Lenore! You have captured something of the Creator here, I think.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Leslie. I am glad you liked the poem. Your paintings are wonderful, by the way.
Wonderful!
You are sure good with ‘the words’, Ms. D…
very, very nicely done!
🙂
Thank you, SIG. I am glad you liked it. The beauty of the painting made it easy.
