Horsemen, Rainy Weather
By Edgar Degas
(1886)
For Sunday, July 20th, our SIMPLY SNICKERS poetry prompt includes these key words:
Standing
Still
This week, we celebrate the birthday of French Impressionist artist Edgar Degas (born July 19, 1834). To honor this master artist, SIMPLY SNICKERS offers three favorite pieces to accompany this week’s prompt. Feel free to use any or all the pictures, or not, as inspiration strikes you.
Be sure to come back to SIMPLY SNICKERS by Sunday, July 20th, and leave a comment with a link to your post, once you have published your poem on your own blog.
Please be sure to check out the other SIMPLY SNICKERS entries. What creative writer doesn’t appreciate encouraging comments?
