Hi, everyone! I hope you’re all safe and healthy.
It’s the third week of the month! Time for an Ekphrastic #PhotoPrompt. Colleen Chesebro from Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Prompt Challenge chose the beautiful watercolor art piece below.

When I saw this watercolor I immediately thought about dreams. You know, I thought by now someone would have invented a device that could record our dreams. Many of my short stories were inspired by my many bizarre dreams, so it would be a handy tool for me. I hope you enjoy my Etheree.
What are dreams if not our wishes and fears sheer colors slowly spreading on the canvas of our dormant minds forming watercolor shapes delightful and fearsome sometimes inspiring us to jump out of bed and write, write write
Thank you for stopping by. I always appreciate your visits and comments. Also, remember you can pre-order The Rise of Gadreel for only 0.99¢!
I wish everyone a merry Christmas Eve and Christmas! Don’t forget to look to the sky on 12/21/20 to see the Christmas Star! The best time to see it is about an hour after your local sunset time. I hope it’s a clear night for all of us.
Sis, this was a fabulous Etheree. What a great way to interpret the image as dream work. Love it! I ordered the Rise of Gadreel! Can’t wait to read it! ❤

I love the idea of our dreams being recorded. I’ve written a few of mine down too. Some have made it into stories. One of my dreams actually had credits at the end…lol. Loved your Etheree. They really are “canvas of our dormant minds.” I’m very excited about the Christmas Star this year. Happy Holidays xo

I love it that one of your dreams had credits.😂 That dream was meant to be a movie! I’m so glad you liked the Etheree. I’m extremely excited about the Christmas Star! This phenomenon happens every twenty years but Jupiter and Saturn haven’t been this close for 800 years!👏😃✨

Vashti, I love your etheree and it feels almost breathless as you reach the final two lines! Such raw energy and yearning to commit those dreams to paper! Dreams are beguiling and inspiring… but I’m not convinced about a machine to record mine! 😀😀 Too frightening and obscure I reckon I’d break it! 😀
