A Calendar of 25 Poems: Advent Of Love
I used mentor poems from my friend, Deanna, and wrote 25 poems each day from December 2 (I wrote two that first day, to catch up, after realizing the first day had passed me by) through the 25th, and then designed this calendar of links to the mentor text poems, my poems, and the visual version (each used an AI-generated image based on the context or words of my poem).
The embedded version of my calendar is compact and might be too small to be useful, so here is the link to the published version of the calendar.
My process: I would read each poem shared by Deanna each morning, mull over the mentor text, find a line or phrase, then build a poem off that idea. Next, I would go into Firefly AI and work to get an image based on my poem, and then use Pablo to layer the text of the poem with the AI imagery. Finally, I would come to my own calendar and update the day.
Peace (and writing),

DS106: Remix Monday (Week 3)
I’m doing a five-week, every-Monday (unless I space out and forget to get it done) remix of a piece of art from the earlier days of DS106. (Read more about what I am up to here). This is week three.
For this week’s remix, I took the text of the image about remix, and used a Black Out Poem tool off Glitch, to find a poem inside the text. The I went into LunaPic and did some artistic layering behind the found poem.
Peace (and remix),

Found Poem: From Five Into One
Terry shared five short poems the other day (Five Easy Pieces) and I found parts in each and then entangled them into one found poem.

Advent Of Love Poetry Calendar

Each year, my National Writing Project colleague, Deanna, creates an Advent Poetry calendar, with daily links to poems on a theme. This year, the theme is “love” and I am enjoying her curation of poems, as I take lines from the poems to inspire my own writing each morning.
See Deanna’s Advent Of Love Calendar and consider writing your own poems.
Peace (and Love),
