Laura Purdie Salas is a blogger who presents a poetry challenge each week called "15 Words or Less." She posts an image as inspiration for her readers' poems.

That have to be 15 words.
Or less. :)
The poems posted by her readers are encouraged to be first drafts--to avoid the quest for perfection and to just write.
Perfect. I'm in.
Yesterday, she posted a photo of a maple tree putting on its fall colors. So pretty.
Here's mine. I'm a revise as you go kinda girl so it's not exactly a first draft, but it's a close as I get. I limited myself to ten minutes.
Teachers, she suggests using her photo prompts and only allowing students two or three minutes.
Give it a try, why don't you?
PHOENIX TREE
in tree ablaze we see
fiery fall’s finish
winter’s wait
spring’s stirring
summer’s splendor
