Midweek writing prompt – creating worlds

Hidden world-JudyDarleyAs a child I spent a lot of time peering into ponds, or lying in long grass watching the tiny creatures bustling through their jungle. I was reminded of this when I took some dead flowers from a vase and found my attention snared by the beauty of the pebbles and marbles they’d been resting on.

I invite you to create your own underwater world. Fill a glass, vase or jar from the tap, then add in a handful of miscellaneous objects – such as shells, cracker charms, buttons or toys. You can have some fun searching for these in the street.

Then take a photo of the scene, or simply spend some time gazing at in, using your imagination to change the scale to create a whole world. And just see what rises to the surface…

If you write something prompted by this, please let me know by sending an email to Judy(at)socket creative.com. With your permission, I’d love to share it on SkyLightRain.com.
