Here is the image for the August Poetry Invite to Write!

The Red Cloud, Piet Mondrian, 1907. ARAS Record - 5Ka.132

Mondrian's The Red Cloud was painted with confidance, feeling and a sense of freedom. The dramatic red flare in the sky feels apt right now as we continue on in a heatwave in some parts of the world this August. What does it evoke for you? A personal fire/heatwave? The strangeness of a vivid red swath in the middle of a sea of blue? If you are inspired by this image to write a poem, please share it here in the forum or email it to . We would love to see what you come up with.
