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. Here's the poem:   Photo credit: Sebastian Kopf on pixabay
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.  |
