AAUW Writing Group Prompt...

I hosted my Talking on Paper writing group today with the 5-minute prompt being "If You Were An Exhibit At The Louvre, What Would Your Label Say?" (based on this buzzfeed article). Each of the six writers were so incredibly unique and creative with their responses.

This was mine:

"Found in the abstract art section, the unique figurine masterpiece titled Denise, Thank God She's Not Nude is proudly displayed in a sea of yellow hues. These brilliant colors accentuate the giant sunflower which acts as her head. A glowing, rotating sun dangles above the statue, encircling it throughout the day. Cleverly, Denise's head swivels to follow the sun. This epitomizes the subject's quest for cheeriness and warmth.

Interestingly, museumgoers have begun bringing in cut stems of sunflowers to place at her feet. Reviews from visitors state that the joy they feel upon visiting this exhibit is worth the price of admission."

Fun stuff. What would your label say?

and you cannot see the shadows.

It's what the sunflowers do.”
