April’s project was something quite different, and it’s been heartening to receive comments about how much it’s been enjoyed and the directions it’s taken people. Here’s an assortment, starting with blackout poems and moving onto more visual. Enjoy!
whispered voices / tested on tongues /
applied improbably chance / in a different weight /
The night closed over / swollen membranes /
in out / the breath of the river
straining sales / the roar of the wind /
the burst of electric storm light / cold light /
My lord? /
The captain looked terrified /
fizzing tongues / edged with blackness /
wizards magic
Tons of blossom / pigeons quietly pick asparagus /
I am going to go and compost food / Oh well /
It was quite a socially distanced / chap on the door
Pacman desperately / holding their breath as they / Organised /
how many days should pass before we know / the worst day
the snake wrapping more than half way /
Inside perspex shields /
and gates at each end /
I have been trawling and even tiny mills have no flour
The sheep year starts
When the tups go out
Balancing things
Looking around
Usually I appreciate what surrounds
They make me smile
Promoting
Singing and
Chattering, especially at dawn and dusk
All signs of a balanced ecosystem
And finally, a page of daily word prompt drawings from Amanda (you’ll find the downloadable templates here):
good good your idea / go for it
mind hand / fresh vital
artistic expression / artistic feeling
beautiful person / witty brilliant
right / great / fearlessly going
