Using Photos for Inspiration

I came across this photo of a snow-covered beech tree and thought that it could serve as an artist’s model, if you will, for practicing poets. I hope to return to this photo again and again over the next few weeks in hopes of drawing inspiration from it. I hope ultimately that it will spur my imagination and spur my creativity – and hopefully yours, too.
