As I do periodically, I am gathering together poems from the previous days … some are from prompts of Mastodon, Daily Create, Open Write and others came from other places.
Peace (and poems),

Poetry: Fulcrum Point
Saturday Morning: Poems and Music
A few things emerging from a creative Saturday morning … the poem above is from a one-word prompt (“exceptional”); the comic poem comes from Grant Snyder’s Comic Poetry Month daily prompts (“messy”); and the music track was something I tinkered with, liked and completed, and the title (“In An Otherwise Odd World”) was strange enough to generate an interesting image via Adobe Firefly.
Peace (making it),

Assorted Poems (A Remembering)
Poem: Rain Fills The Gaps
Collection of Digital Poetry
A friend was asking me more about Digital Poetry, and so I gathered together a collection of some of the video and animated and text and art poems that have been gathering dust over at YouTube into a Digital Poetry Playlist.
I added 129 poems (most are very short), a number that surprised me.
It was quite a journey to return to some of these pieces — some I didn’t remember at all, and some were rich moments of a return to the composition and construction.

Poetry: A Word Goes Walking
This poem comes via a prompt from Open Write this morning about taking a word for a walk. I used the word “synchronized” and it was a tricky bit of writing here, making sure the six lines with six words had the word moving systematically through the poem from first-word position to last-word position.
Peace (in and out of sync),

Write Out Poetry: Wind Whispers Song (multiple version)
This morning’s Daily Create prompt for Write Out was all about the sound of wind, and the music it makes. I did a few versions of my morning poem, including the regular text, a visual with Word Art, a video with the word art and just music, and then a final version in which the words are blown by the wind, with narration of the poem itself.
Peace (listening to the song of the wind),

Why I Write … Poetry
Poem: Park Bench Poet
This morning’s Daily Create prompt for Write Out is all about Pocket Parks, and I wrote a poem about a bench in one of these tucked-away places.
Peace (In Parks),
