OctPoWriMo 2023: Facing Our Fears
Fear of the Other: Thinking about all the masks people wear, bring to mind someone that you are afraid of. With that person in mind imagine things that that person would never say. What is the mask he or she is wearing when she says these things in your poem? Does imagining that person saying these things make the fear dissipate?
The suggested form for today is a Tongue Twister.

Today’s image prompt is a science fiction illustration by Walter Popp. Who is this woman? Is she emerging or being sucked in? Is she a figment or a parasite?

For today’s Peril of the Real I took a look at some masks available on amazon.com. I thought some of the LED masks looked interesting.

Laura De Bernardi sent this in for OctPoWriMo:
Hi Maria, Here’s today’s poem, responding to fear of the other:
he blew hot
he blew cold
he made sense
he did not make sense
he was intelligent
he was stupid
he was a study
in contrasts

I agree, Laura,
someone who gives contradictory signals can be very scary.

Thanks, Maria! I gave it another whirl, and it now reads:
An Other
he blew hot
he blew cold
he made sense
he did not make sense
he was intelligent
he was stupid
he was sensitive
and lacked empathy
he was a study
in contrasts
he called himself
a poet
