2022 Creativity Project – Day 17

Barricade

I walked straight into
The wall we made, too high, staid,
I could not scale it;
There was no going through it
Passage impossible met.
Times before I knew
Return tickets would bring you
But this time, worry,
My heart bound with ribbons, twine,
Left alone to never shine.
I was always yours,
You were never become mine;
Broken against walls
I could not soon pass through to
Inhabit your life, present.
A dream, so unreal,
Myself tarnished, so you feel,
I say, “It’s alright,”
When I wake trembling at night;
Once, we were the best, so right.

Prompt
Consider something that arouses strong emotion, embody it in your creation.

2022 Creativity Project – Day 16

Delayed

I thought of going
To church today, but somehow
Time did run away
I was by myself, weathered
In, and ice ridden, forbade.
My dark chariot
Sat like some sullen creature
Dreaming of the charge
But not to travel at large
Lamented duty undone.
The sun his rising
Weak like a candle exposed
To withering draft
Only graying white woolen
Peaked skies became on high.
The crystals shining
Where they lay combining ice
With the passing snow
Winter showering itself
On those who thought not to know.

2022 Creativity Project – Day 15

Random Crows

It is Winter, I suppose,
But as the weather is, who knows?
A scattering murder of crows
Wings away as daylight goes.
Caught in these woods at sundown
Cawing echoes, surrounding sound,
Marking a spot in memory
As the crows escape over the chimney.
Ebony wings go forth, calling,
It is backward, into the past falling
My mind flys to times appalling
But I try to busy be, Love installing.

Prompt: Think of something relating to Winter and create work informing your audience.

2022 Creativity Project – Day 12

Morning and Evening

Morning is not mine,
I only enter when I must
Or through some mistake,
The schedule is made later
If I have any input.
Sometimes it is not
To my advantage how this
Allergy works out,
The world runs on its mornings
It grudges noncompliance;
Keeping its treasures
For those who wake up near dawn,
Stretching forth welcome
Its beauties in fine display
Allowing work, joyful play.

Evening brings me strength
Gives me more agility
In body and mind,
It has become my best time
After the bright sun departs.
I find myself more
Adept in the waning day,
My mind is able
To find solutions to problems
Creating is easier, too.
My life has been this
From the beginning and will
Not let the practice
Go, though I attempt making
Changes over and over.

Prompt
Write about the times that you most enjoy and least like. If you are a visual artist create something that signifies your feelings about these times.

Gratitude List
I am thankful:
1. I have finally adopted a cellphone to a greater degree in my life.
2. I have finished two books this year.
3. The tomato soup at lunch was delicious.
4. For music which helps my moods.
5. I am a writer.

2022 Creativity Project – Day 10

1. The business of the day/Fades away in quiet peace/There is no fanfare/To bid light pleasant goodbyes/We forfeit it with closed eyes.

2. Marketplace wonder/Bounty in every full isle/Pick, choose, satisfy/The need realized this moment/The want not to be denied.

PROMPT – Experience invades and persuades every way each day. Take your day, compress it into some pithy phrases to illuminate what passed for your life. Use tanka or haiku if you like.

Gratitude List – I am thankful: 1. I drove to town and back safely. 2. I got a few consumables to keep body and person together a while longer. 3. Though not synced with average time, I slept.
