Not only is Pixabay a fabulous site for finding free-use photos and graphics, it's also a great writing prompt! One of my favorite things to do is go see what picture is being featured on Pixabay's home page and let that be an inspiration for a post. This picture from June 25, 2014 of an evening sky aglow with the fiery color of sunset inspired me to write a poem, if you will:
The sky is afire
With a shivering, shining glow
A flickering shimmer of amber above
Casting warmth on the land below
The trees stand in stark relief
Silhouettes against the molten flow
Are they not consumed by the conflagration?
The rustling leaves whisper, No
The kiss of the wind protects the trees
Even from this fiery show
They will survive years of dawns and dusks
And be just so, just so.

I use images from Pixabay frequently, even though WordPress "partners" with its competitor, Pexels.com.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. You're better at the poetry gig than me!
Thank you, Alex! I like Pexels, too. Pictures are so inspiring to me!
