Experimental Gibberish #NationalPoetryMonth

Today’s poem is brought to you by spouting gibberish into my microphone and seeing what Dragon Dictate comes up with. It is an experiment, and I’m pretty sure we can all agree it was a failed experiment. I think using dictation software on poetry is probably still a good idea, but probably not just shouting […]

Renga- The Cooperative Haiku #NationalPoetryMonth

When haiku get long They need a bridge show them How to play together Renga provides such a bridge With fourteen new syllables Bind them together Just like a roll of duct tape Keeping it tidy. Renga — The Cooperative Haiku Okay, I so cheated on the above poem. I wrote the whole thing. Shame on […]

Haiku-a-go-go #NationalPoetryMonth

Let’s not beat around the bush. Poetry is hard. Harder than I give it credit for. I mean, it isn’t. On the surface you can knock out a haiku without even trying. The owl soars higher Bringing joy to the night sky In the morning sleeps See? That’s technically a haiku. 5-7-5. Boom. Let’s knock out another […]

National Poetry Month – A Sonnet about Sonnets

Today’s poem is the mighty sonnet. Strictly rhyming lines and syllable rules Can be added to a good writer’s tools, And you should never look down upon it. When I first learned the art of the verse I studied Shakespeare, Milton, and others. They sat their structure above another’s. The lack of credit, da Lentini’s curse. Sonnets […]

Tired Poetry

Sometimes, I get tired. In my mind, not body. In in those nights, I look away, I find that I am rotting.   April is National Poetry Month (as well as International Fake Journal Month). If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, you’ve seen my previous attempts at poetry. I’m not what one might call […]

Happy Holidays!

  Thank you for a wonderful year of writing and discovery! I am hoping to be much more active in the new year, but for now, please enjoy this example of why I don’t read audiobooks professionally! Enjoy, and Happy Holidays! Save this Link for the MP3

Throwing Darts

I’ve had a pretty long weekend. The Scintilla Project is officially come to a close, and my brain is a little drained and tired now. I figured, if I can’t get something put together that made sense as a cohesive whole, maybe I could put something together from all the random smatterings of thought popping […]

Poetry Break

When I was a freshman in high school, I took a poetry class. As some of you may recall, I’m actually pretty bad at poetry. That’s never stopped me from writing it, though. In my youth, my poetry was all blood-red roses, allusions to suicide and the dark shadows of the world. I’m not saying […]

Pouring it Out – A Poem and a Picture

I decided to face today’s (actually yesterday’s; Sorry I’m behind) task with a bit of free writing. I set my little time and I let myself roll as fast as I could for a few minutes. When I was done, I had a jumble of thoughts and words, things that really just needed to be […]

Creativity – Denied.

Have you ever had one of those weeks? You know the ones when you’re feeling particularly drained and completely useless? Yeah, I’m having one of those weeks. Well, I should say it’s been the last couple of weeks. I’ve just been drained and burned out. You’ve probably noticed that I skipped a few days of […]
