Day 11: Dear Luka letter

Today we had to write a letter to a famous person or yourself and receive a reply. I hope Luka never googles himself. Prompt 11: “Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a two-part poem, in the form of an exchange of letters. The first stanza (or part) should be in the form of […]

Day Ten: America

Today’s poem is inspired by Damir Avdić and his Detroit, and he took me into my old open house. Prompt 10: “First, find a song with which you are familiar … Listen to the song and take notes as you do, without overthinking it or worrying about your notes making sense. Next, rifle through the […]

Day Nine: Nothing to like here

Well, the pigeons are cute. But don’t read. They are waiting. Prompt 9: “Our (optional) prompt for the day is to write a poem in the form of a ‘to-do list.’ The fun of this prompt is to make it the ‘to-do list’ of an unusual person or character.” This will be very short: – […]

Day Eight & Thursday Doors, 8/4/21: Cemeteries

Day Seven: Wordless Wednesday with a poem

In April I won’t be able to keep Wednesdays completely wordless since I am to write a poem a day. Prompt 7: “… But there are many other syllable-based forms. Today, I’d like to challenge you to pick from two of them – the shadorma, and the Fib. … Like the shadorma, the Fib is a six-line […]

Day Six: Hopeful

This post is a token of gratitude to Jeanette Winterson. My poem covers some of the events from my past that made me change my story. Prompt 6: “Go to a book you love. Find a short line that strikes you. Make that line the title of your poem. Write a poem inspired by the […]

Day Five: Human reserve & April 2020

This is my official Calendar 2020 post with twenty photos that I took in my human reserve this month last year, and a poem that starts off badly but has a foxy ending. Prompt 5: “This prompt challenges you to find a poem, and then write a new poem that has the shape of the […]

Day Four: Liminal

Today we have a look at the word liminal, that which exists on both sides. In order to put this word into perspective, I needed a little prefix. Prompt 4: “In honor of the always-becoming nature of poetry, I challenge you today to select a photograph from the perpetually disconcerting @SpaceLiminalBot, and write a poem inspired […]

Day Three: Life in 100 words

Today we were to light a candle, remove people and pets, make a list of 100 words, divide them into pairs, write them on 50 cards a pair per card, and use a few to write a poem. A proper grand slam. Prompt 3: “I’d like to challenge you to make a ‘Personal Universal Deck,’ […]

Day Two: The roads not taken

Today I learn the word hoary and find out that happenstance is only regular in the USA. And yes, it didn’t take long for my poem to address the present conundrum. Prompt 2: “In the world of well-known poems, maybe there’s no gem quite so hoary as Robert Frost’s ‘The Road Not Taken.’ Today, I’d […]
