I am in the 2nd week of writing daily and boy,oh boy, have I met some challenges.
Day 8 - Blue Bird Thank you little blue bird for coming to the front and using the bird bath because you came to mind again and I was inspired to write a ballad. Of course, I still didn't get your picture!
Day 9 - Mindless Games The next night I was playing games on my mobile phone and wondering what to write. Then when I played Wordscape, I wondered what a word meant then I played Cryptogram and I had a plan: Write about "Mindless" games being enriching endeavors.
Day 10 - Belling In The New Year The following day, I read the news about the Tik Tok Ban and decided that I would incorporate into my next poem. I also incorporated lines from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Bells" and a line from Dylan Thomas' "Do Not Go Gentle Into The Night."
Day 11 - Cryptogram Daily Challenge For the next poem, I went back to my inspiration of playing games on my mobile device. Although I thought it was nice and I could have written maybe another poem on the origins of Santa Claus for Nuutupukki, St. Nicholas to Haddon Sundblom, I realized that I needed more diverse topics to really embrace this experience.
Day 12 - Bomb Cyclone So, I challenge myself next to use some found poetry techniques where I found an article then traced the map of New England on it and used the words from within New England borders.
Day 13 - Floating Space Work then panel discussion in the evening limited the time to create so I reached back to a time when I felt vulnerable and alone then someone made me feel welcome.
Day 14 - Dansa in the A.M. I have been emailing and texting people to go to the Tupelo 30/30 page and peruse the poetry. A back and forth text chat inspired a poem.
