Inclination

Reclining Woman, 1951. The Henry Moore Foundation

At our Creative Writing Group our tutor this week placed several picture postcards on a table and asked each of us to pick one within 30 second. I picked this one, Henry Moore’s Reclining Woman, 1951.  We then had 10 minutes to write something inspired by this. I wrote this short piece entitled Inclination

 

Silky and smoothly

rounded and flowing

a curvaceous recliner

laid out on a plinth.

 

Highland and lowlands

valleys and dales

a mountainous moorland

calling me home.
