••> The twenty third prompt for 2010 is a collage by me, Rob Kistner, celebrating the thrill of being aloft, entitled: “SOAR”. (you can click on my name to see more of my collages)

You can let yourself be inspired by the title. What are the levels of meaning one might attach to the word ‘soar’, both physical and metaphysical? A few synonyms of soar are: fly, ascend, climb, wheel, circle, rise, mount, rocket, increase, skyrocket, escalate, and arise. Remember also that spirits, imagination, joy, fear, all these can soar — you can see where I’m going…

Or let the depth and intricacy of the image itself evoke in you the inspiration to write… so many levels of suggestion! Let yourself visually drift into the collage, hold it for a while in your mind’s eye, then whatever it is that strikes you as you view, express it.

So, the title of the creation and it’s many interpretations, or the collage itself — whichever sparks your muse… just let yourself go with whatever it is that moves you to write.

Relax, respond to the prompt when you’re ready — or just leave a comment to say hi! As always, welcome to the the Island!!! 😉
