NaPoWriMo #30: leave a line, take a line

April 30th, 2009 5 Comments

The final NaPoWriMo Read Write Poem prompt was to leave a line for an exquisite corpse and take a line as an inspiration for the final poem. I used Joanna’s line, a handful of feathers, for a modified Fibonacci poem using word instead of syllable counts for each line.
A Handful of Feathers
I

sings into deepening gloom
just before the rain

April 26th, 2009 2 Comments

Several things collided here. I wanted to do a book review of The Hakawati which I am reading for Global Voices Book Challenge. Then there was the metaphysical prompt from Read Write Poem plus their random writing tip of five uses for a spoon!
The Hakawati
What was dipped into the steaming bowl
that caused Fatima’s carpet to [...]
