My poetry challenge today was to write a response to a poem I'd written in the past. I went pretty far back. Over a year ago, it was late February and I was thinking about having guests over. What a difference a year makes.  No matter what kind of butter. Coconut butter, sun butter, peanut butter, dairy butter. Nothing better than butter.  I love science. I love poetry. I love evidence. I love art. I love logic. I love love.  Are you familiar with blackout poetry? You just "black out" the parts of the original text that you don't want to keep to create a poem. It can be complete different subject matter, the same subject matter, whatever you want. I tried it using Wikipedia's article on Wisconsin today. Let me know what you think.

It's a fine time to think about the greatness of the couch.  Here's a poem that appreciates something we get every day.   Photo credit: S. Hermann and F. Richter on pixabay
If we get smart, if we take action - we'll make it through.  The prompt I selected for today is really a prompt I do often "write about something mundane". I chose flossing.  I'm using another prompt from Amy Kay Poetry on instagram again! Today I selected "write a letter to your heart".   Photo credit: Conger Design on pixabay
Shout out to another Amy Kay who writes poems, Amy Kay of #amykaypoetry on instagram (not me!). She recently posted some poetry prompts to "help us get through this strange time" and I picked one of her prompts for my poem today. The prompt I chose was "write a poem about rest" and it actually goes along with one of my favorite yin yoga poses, snail pose. It's reflective, curling inward, private, insulating, and restful.

The world feels in disarray and yet I think we'll be okay, someday. Two poems for you today.  I think the aftermath will reveal a lot about ourselves.  I've been watching good movies, putting together puzzles, and eating a lot.  PSA: Don't squash possibility. It doesn't feel good.  The world is constantly changing and I wonder, is the world changing right now?  So you get a poem about hiccups. Really though, does anyone have as rough a time getting rid of these as me? I know as a yogi, I'm supposed to be able to do breath retention and I think sometimes it just gets in my head.  Spring is for the birds, and I mean that in the best way. I love birds and I even have a pair of goldfinch tatooted on my back. Another bird that I admire for it's plumage is the grand-looking blue jay.   Photo credit: Scottslm on Pixabay
Ever notice an eavesdropper? Asking for a friend.  I've been reading about the ills of fast fashion and so I took my birthday month to Clothes Mentor today. I had a brilliant time. Came away with 9 items at less than $12 each.  |
