2022 Creativity Project – Day 26

Novel

Hand in hand
Heart to heart
Ourselves brought
Together though life
In many extremes, tries
Its best to part us.

Starting anew, we two
With bright hopes
Pockets full of dreams
To take us, whatever
Happens to wherever
We share our story.

You and me
Meant to be
Inseparably,
To weather storms
In harmony forever,
Loving as we always are.

Prompt
Create something about relationships in some form in any iteration: Man to Man, Woman to Woman, Man to Woman, Woman to Pet, Man to Pet, Person to Machine, Person to Device, or other. If you can make it comic, extra points.

Yeah, No, Yeah

Dive into the pool
Only where the water is deep
If you can swim at
The end of depths uncovered
By problems made clear as night.

This is not the place,
For hasty sham politics
Freedom still lives here,
Liberty wants no false leads
Kicking up resistance, fear.

Wash the mud, all clear,
Let us sing, here, everywhere
No one chooses doubt
If truth can be puzzled out,
Bringing generosity.

Self-government calls
Each to provide of their best
Against what is past
With discipline so indeed
Progress leads all to succeed.

2022 Creatvity Project – Day 25

Are You A POET?

Do you try in words
To capture the quality
Of light slanting down
On the Many Flavored Dog
Lying on carpet scratched bald?

Or perhaps the pink’s
Shade of the kitten’s tongue which
Grooms the mother with
A constancy your children
Could well affect cleaning rooms?

Do you study lines
Writ by whomever masters
At the moment you
Choose to admire slavishly
Trying to perfect your verse?

Does music matter
Much because of the lyrics
You often harvest
To examine in the sounding
Mind that measures every time?

Are you a poet,
Destined a part to always
Guage creatively
Finding the heartbeat flutter
Each minute frisson avers?

Prompt
Explore your relationship, or the relationship of others, to creative work, in a piece of artistry.

Gratitude List

1) I got some extra sleep

3) The computer has not frozen during this session

2022 Creativity Project – Day 24

I went to town today to get my medicine. A small God Thing happened.

The pharmacy called me and told me I had to go today or they would put the prescriptions back. They misunderstood me when I said I would come and put the drugs away. When they reran them, it halved my bill.

Because I am in a delicate position financially, I felt blessed.

Tempers like wildfire
Range through angry hearts of men
No fence keeps them in.

Love is not easy
Dedication is required
We must share our fears.

Laugh as pain delights
Hide the tears, swallow the screams,
Make light of hurt, too.

I repaired that pen today, and I am delighted. I have not used it in months because the tiger eye portion with the claw would fall off. It is one of my favorites, so yeah, excellent.

No Amnesty
Old wars never die
They revolve their rebellions
Around life, many ways, each day
We think we have fought them free,
But they tangle our laces,
Our learning, being, all we
Trust and whatever runs off
Like water rushing conducting dams.
Old wars remember – lest we forget,
Who fired what, took where, when,
Destroyed which, wanted how;
Winners and Losers
Definitions in futility, insanity,
Because only war gains – humans lost.
Some glorify war
To draw innocents in with zeal,
But killing is never beautiful,
Death is not a swell romance,
The ending is only always cruel.

Frippery
For a moment you
Took space, thought, within my mind,
I wished once again
There could be a place we were;
But you chose no long ago.

SneakyTanka
Life, poetry, prose,
All the writing which we know
Is better when we
Use proper punctuation
With distinct elocution.

Living Love’s Property
The parameters
Of the heart
Ages set apart,
Where dreams start
To confirm
Passions burn,
For those with
Whom we yearn
To entertain
In persuasive part
Set far beyond
Normal time
In such space
Where the heart
Rules without warrant,
But rhythm, rhyme.

We have the love
Given from above
To make beautiful,
In a fortunate way,
Our tender hopes,
Dreams willed to stay
Forever with
Each other
On display.

PROMPT
Read an article or story and catch some meaningful phrase that delights your imagination. Create from there.

Gratitude List
I am thankful:
1. Sometimes, things come together, even without a plan.
2. Broken hearts can speak volumes.
3. Household items have myriad uses.
4. My dogs.
5. Proliferating creativity.

2022 Creativity Project – Day 22

Freedom/Anonymous

We anonymous
Never real to one another
Experience, perceptions,
Family, friends, yet strangers;
Unable to penetrate beneath
The persona presented with
No consciousness of masks
Picked up from some lofty self.
One day we think we will
Discuss our truth but opportunity
Sails away like a liner voyaging
Into some distant port where
What we thought to reveal
Is lost in the marketplace of
Ideas, conjecture, composition,
Suddenly it becomes too late.
We realize we do not have
Complete control of ourselves,
The truth we believed we knew
Is less specific than solidity
Of the objects populating our lives
Riddled with emptiness between
Atoms we cannot but trust
Will continue supporting us.
It all seems a dream, but more,
We build a world around being
Recognizable, though we are
Less known than guessed
Some inkling of spontaneousness;
Even loves, too little comprehend
As lives are shared between
The lines, staving off loneliness
Though together, separate;
Living life anonymous.

Prompt
What are the definitions you apply to your relationships with the world? Create something that illustrates your position.

Gratitude List
1. Daylight
2. Creativity
3. Absence
4. Togetherness
5. Love
