Quote inspiration:
“Silence introduced in a society that worships noise is like
the Moon exposing the night. Behind darkness is our fear. Within silence our
voice dwells. What is required from both is that we be still. We focus. We
listen. We see and we hear. The unexpected emerges.”
Terry Tempest Williams
Your prompt in task form:
Mute or turn off everything that emits sound or delivers
sound to you off for five minutes.
Be silent.
If you must, turn on an inner mantra that speaks silence. Breathe the
word in… and out… slowly.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Write a poem of these five minutes (or more). Allow the
unexpected to emerge. Write it.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.

Lovely prompt. Hope something unexpected emerges. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm going to sleep now and thinking... the words always come through for us, don't they? Sweet dreams!
ReplyDeleteYour prompt was very timely for me. I re-blogged an old poem, and then wrote a new one as a haiga on your evocative photograph. The two poems make a kind of serial story!
ReplyDeleteI've just created an October Poetry Writing Month board on Pinterest, that we can all pin our poems to, but... I don't know who to invite. Who wants to join?
ReplyDeleteYou can find me on there called Procrastination Coach and follow me (I think I can add followers) or I can add you through your e-mail address (the one you're using for Pinterest I guess).
Making a group board is new for me, so please bear with me if I'm clumsy.
Ah, this might help in finding me: http://www.pinterest.com/dowhatyoudont/
DeleteI am so glad to know this helped you, Viv. Angela - I will check out your board. I think you need to actually send invitations but I'll follow you first because I know that is a part of it. Great idea, by the way!
