Hi all! Here is May’s Peeking Cat Perspectives. Here’s how it works:
1. Take a look at the image below and write something inspired about it. It can be a poem, prose, or just a few lines.
2. Submit your writing by commenting on this blog post. All posts are moderated just so that we don’t get any spam, so they might not appear straight away.
3. You might want to avoid looking at other people’s responses before you write your own, so that you’re not influenced by them. We want to get as many diverse pieces of writing as possible!
There is more information about Peeking Cat Perspectives here. I’m interested to see how art influences each of us differently! Where is this place? Who is in the balloons and where will they land? Who is inside the lighthouse? Tell us.
Over the Sea
We were three
snuggled in baskets
with a view
and the rhythmic
pulse of hot air
and the predictable
lapping waves
and the winking light
wished us a fair
bon voyage.

Will I ever have a turn?
I sigh from my lighthouse post
above the ocean
as the privileged few glide by.
