Visual Poetry
The last issue of Rattle, a widely-circulated poetry journal, focused on visual poetry. There is a huge range of artistic/literary blends that visual poetry encompasses, everything from the words to C.S. Lewis' rat's tail poem being arranged to look like a tail, to a painting like The Colour of Words.
Two webcomics off the top of my head, A Softer World and my own, Secret Vespers, are in the form of visual poetry. A lot of the grunge typography from the 90s could be considered visual poetry. You can use font type, size, styling, position, slicing and dismantling, plus any range of visual elements, sketches, photos, paint, collage, objects, whatever you like, to mix words with art.
All that to bring us to the Sunday prompt. Either write a text-only story or poem using the picture below as inspiration, or fire up your image manipulation software and write a visual poem using this image (plus any other element it inspires you to use).
