NAPOWRIMO Prompt: Write a poem based on a “walking archive.” What’s that? Well, it’s when you go on a walk and gather up interesting thing – a flower, a strange piece of bark, a rock. This then becomes your “walking archive” – the physical instantiation of your walk. If you’re unable to get out of the house (as many of us now are), you can create a “walking archive” by wandering around your own home and gathering knick-knacks, family photos, maybe a strange spice or kitchen gadget you never use. One you’ve finished your gathering, lay all your materials out on a tray table, like museum specimens. Now, let your group of materials inspire your poem! You can write about just one of the things you’ve gathered, or how all of them are all linked, or even what they say about you, who chose them and brought them together.... I walked by the crick and back home up my street and snapped some pics. Then I photoplayed and created a wee scene... A Drunken Tale (At the Local Watering Hole) Wise turtle tells me tall tales of ye old Captain Fundas
who’s quite known for his specific brand spitfire sass. He lives at his lighthouse, never raising his brows when the fish fan outwards, away from the birdy buzzards, for frisky frolics further upstream. Was it all but a dream.... in a little fishing town, a little further down than that other nifty place, where I saw your pretty face? (conceived April 24, 2020, recrafted and finalized April 25, 2020) It’s a nonsense poem, not really saying anything, But it’s whimsical And quirky perky:) Rules of the Triolet Form... The requirements of this fixed form are straightforward: the first line is repeated in the fourth and seventh lines; the second line is repeated in the final line; and only the first two end-words are used to complete the tight rhyme scheme. Thus, the poet writes only five original lines, giving the triolet a deceptively simple appearance: ABaAabAB, where capital letters indicate repeated lines.

... And then I had a bit of a creative tantrum, which was super cathartic. I feel much better, thanks. |
