The Fisherman's Lament

Sailing across the ocean blue  Singing shanties with my merry crew We cast our nets into the briny waters To provide for our wives, sons, and daughters. But when are nets grew heavy and taut We heaved them up to see what we caught. And what did our accursed eyes behold? Fish with scales that glistened like gold. We cheered as our nets burst at the seams. We were rich beyond our wildest dreams! But my heart quickly sank to the sea floor As I recalled the warning we got days before. “Should you ever catch fishes of gold Remember the ancient warnings of old: Release them and don’t be slaves to greed Lest you anger the Merfolk with a selfish deed.” With heavy heart, I reminded my crew Of the solemn warning from Old Ms. Rue. They laughed and said, “It’s just an old wives tale!” And our captain said, “Homeward we sail!” I warned them that this was a foolish deed But my voice was one they chose not to heed.

Creating My First Moodboards

After scrolling on Pinterest late into the night, I saw some moodboards and decided to try making some myself. I heard that some writers use moodboards to get ideas for their stories, so maybe the moodboards I made will give me inspiration for a story or maybe it will give you inspiration for one. 

This is my first attempt to make moodboards. Though there were a couple that I thought could have turned out better, I did like some of them. All of the images used in these moodboards were taken by me.

Mysterious Forest


This one is my second favorite so far. I love how the pink flowers go well with the green leaves of the trees and vines. 

This moodboard gives me the sense that there is a mysterious forest nearby, and within it is a hidden garden with beautiful pink flowers.

Yellow


This didn’t quite turn out as well as I wanted it to, but I did enjoy putting together the images that had similar colors to one another.

This moodboard gives me an idea of a place where perhaps an eccentric personality loves the color yellow so much that she decorates most of her home with that color. She plants yellow flowers, and only allows yellow butterflies and other insects into her little domain. She only makes a few exceptions to her little rule, such as flowers that are the color pink, since pink is her second favorite color.

Red


This one is my favorite. I loved taking pictures of birds, plants, and anything else that seemed to pop in my surroundings. I’m glad these pictures became of use later.

Although some of the images were taken during spring, the red berries, the cardinals, and the red coat give off winter vibes to me. Perhaps in one fantastical world far away from our own, there is magical oasis of sorts that grows spring flowers even in the midst of winter.

So what do you think? Do you have a favorite? Let me know in the comments if you do. 😊
