Greetings to all my many invisible admirers, silent supporters, and mute cheerleaders. Greetings to all those to blip onto my page for just long enough to record the view, but not long enough to actually enjoy or read anything on the page! And hello especially and with the most enthusiasm to those who actually DO read my rants and poetry and more rants. Because you're angels and I love you and that isn't sarcasm, I promise!
Anyway, I have here this little print out of 30 days of poetry prompts. And I thought since I had so much fun doing it years and years ago, maybe I could have fun doing it again?
Anything to inspire a little motivation to do ANYTHING would be welcome, honestly. You know how long it took me to get into my Carowyn Cosplay the other day!? Good Lord I sat in bed for like two hours just dreading the idea.
I could tell you why, but we don't have all day and I'm sure you are not entertained by my rants as much as I am.
IN any case. None of these are likely to be any good. At least in my opinion. But hey, you might like them, who knows!
Day One. "When you meet a Stranger..."
When you meet a stranger,
what do you notice first?
Small things?
Tidiness of cuticles, or perhaps
manicured level of their eyebrows
or maybe the printed brand of their clothing?
Or do you notice bigger things?
Warmth of their smile,
courtesy given in passing,
or how they just can't stop peeking over at that well-behaved dog in the corner?
When you meet a stranger,
do you ponder their outside trappings,
or do you peer until you get a glimpse just beneath the surface?
This brings back strong nostalgic feelings of Cubbyhole open poetry mic nights. *pours one out for the cubbyhole*
