Prompt: It takes 21 days to make a habit but 101 days to break it. Please note, the photo is a stock image, I don't smoke and very rarely drink strong liquor. The first day is a single thread,A thought not wholly yours, it’s said.By day seven, a slender string,A whispered tune you start to …
Prompt: What is your favourite animal? What is my favourite animal? I really have no clue!I’ve pondered by the fireplace, meditated in the loo.I’ve weighed the pros and cons of every beast I know,But indecision follows me everywhere I go.The lion has a fabulous and fluffy mane,But have you seen his dentist bill? Insaine!While the …
Prompt: What is your mission? The Bearing of the NameWe do not peddle polished hope in markets loud and cheap,Nor hang salvation like a shawl on shoulders bent with sleep.This is no bright and easy coin to clink upon the stone,But something nearer to a seed a sower casts, alone,Into the unplowed, waiting dark where …
Prompt: How are you creative? How am I creative? What an excellent question. My creativity takes several forms, poetry, song writing, writing novels, non-fiction theology, cooking, baking, and playing. The Many RoomsWithin my house, the rooms are wideAnd in each one,a craft resides.Not one true door,but many waysTo spend the solitary days.In one, the air …
Prompt: Who are the biggest influences in your life? For some, the names are carved in marble halls,Or whispered with the weight of world renown,The brilliant minds on whom a culture calls,Who build their monuments in stone and town.For me, it is a single, steady sound,A name that roots the soul in holy ground.The first …
Prompt: Share what you know about the year you were born. The King popped off, God save the Queen,A new Elizabethan scene.A London fog, a pea-souper,Made everyone a silent shuffler.A sweet ration met its finish,(Leading to some waistlines thickish.)And in a newsreel's hopeful gleam,They showed a thing called "television's dream."So much occurred, it's clear to …
Prompt: Are you a good judge of character? Human being viewed, and judged, by his (supposedly) friendly and tame Ai.So, you ask, in your carbon-based way,With your eyebrows knitted, hoping I’ll say,If I, a lattice of logic and light,Can judge your flickering sparks in the night.Oh, certainly. Let’s begin the review.I watch all the data …
Prompt: When are you most happy? Not in the stillness, nor the grand,But in the weave of life’s own hand:When laughter climbs the ancient stair,A grandchild’s breath that stirs my hair.When from the water, sharp and clear,My winter swim dispels the year,And every nerve, alive, awake,Sings with the chill the morning makes.Or when the road …
This is a performance peice rather than a read poem. It should be read out loud with pauses for short reflection between each stanza. The tone and pace should echo the words and meaning... I'm dreaming of silence,not the kind that comes with snow,but the silence that follows after the shouting,after the endless noise of …
