Nov 28 09: Desert Dreams
Musings from the Newly Hatched —
Authority: 128
I’m feeling a bit sad. Today is the last day of my vacation, and I feel the weight of Monday. And my dream last night was powerful: I had a job I loved, but complained and blew an assignment. Message? Shut up and do it. It’s one I needed to hear – not pleasant, but important. This poetry month has been that ...7 hours ago -

Today’s Poetic Asides prompt was “ to write a thankful poem,” not surprising on this day. I like my mother’s new version of our greeting – “Happy Giving Thanks Day.” My sheets are worn and clean; I feel your back pressed warm to mine. And in your breath I hear the ocean swell. I wondered ...2 days ago -

This week we had a short fiction piece by Donna D Vitucci with photography by Jeff Schmuki and I was so concered about getting their names spelled right on all parts of the video and text that I accidentally tansposed two letters on the title screen. Blargh! But I didn’t want to lose a video that already had 25 ...5 days ago -

Musings from the Newly Hatched —
Authority: 128
Staving Off Sleep comes from the Poetic Asides prompt that ask us to write a poem about noise. I’m an introvert and a HSP (who has learned to cope quite well), so noise is a big issue for me. I need isolation frequently to recharge and can be overstimulated by activities that most people find boring. But ...5 days ago -

Today’s prompt asked us to write an emergency poem. As usual when presented with a prompt that could go anywhere, I dried up.* But not so dry that I couldn’t write about a storm. Haiku-style. *It’s my vacation. It’s sucking the imagination out of me. And it’s so worth it. strong winds drench old ...6 days ago -
The Writing Process

We all have one whether we are conscious of how it works or not. Mine has migrated over the years from all my writing being handwritten to all on the computer and then somewhere in between depending on the genre. I’ve never been one who can really only write in a specific location or in specific circumstances but I ...1 week ago -

Vacation! Staycation! Or as my Canadian friends have told me – Balconyville! No excuses for not writing prolifically, except I’m so busy doing nothing, ahh… Today’s prompt (Aren’t you tired of this yet? I promise to write something different when this month is done.) is to write an invention poem . I was a ...1 week ago -
Nov 20 09: And then we were none
Musings from the Newly Hatched —
Authority: 128
Today’s Poetic Asides prompt is as open-ended as you can get: “take the phrase “And then (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make that the title of your poem, and then, write your poem.” Good enough. It’s a goddamn revolving door, the one that guards the passage to my heart. The ...1 week ago -

So, to lift your spirits (and in accordance to the prompt “ write an attachment poem “), I offer Sever the Line . Tell me you haven’t been there. Go on – I dare you. (I know it’s not really a spirit lifter. Unless it makes you want to to imbibe.) Sever the line, you say, just do it. And so I do. I ...1 week ago -

First, let me say that all of you are way too nice. (Don’t get me wrong – please keep it up.) And your consistent support, even on my bad days, is more appreciated that I can express. Second, here’s another damn poem. The prompt? A “slow poem.” Moving Move your head slowly to the right, ...1 week ago -

Today’s Poetic Asides two for one prompt was to write about implosions or explosions or both. (A sweet example of the “two themes in one” is here .) An image came – puffs of air coming out of front doors – the exhalation of family drama. (Hmm. Now that I write it, I’m taken with it all over again.) ...1 week ago -

Do you ever crash after a sugar buzz? I gave in to a box of chocolate last night (this is rare for me – to have a lot of chocolate and to eat it with abandon) and woke up with a chocolate hangover today – cranky! But I’m managing by remembering that I have five days of work left and then a vacation. It’s a ...1 week ago -

Here’s my excuse for not posting on Poetic Asides’ prompt yesterday – it was Friday the 13th! How can one possibly write on such a densely superstitious day? The poem is bound to be fated. Buy it? Yea. Didn’t think so. The truth is I never saw the prompt; I was traveling for work, and didn’t read it ...2 weeks ago -
