Purpose in Uselessness Maria L. Berg 2023

Today I’m trying to capture purpose in uselessness and uselessness in purpose. As I made my shape cuts this morning, I was thinking of tools that are created for a specific purpose, but are useless for anything else.

Uselessness in Purpose by Maria L. Berg 2023

2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 14

Today’s two for Tuesday prompt is:

  1. Write a love poem, or…
  2. Write an anti-love poem.

The Poetics prompt at dVerse Poets Pub is in celebration of Spicy Guacamole Day. Melissa provided a list of words and asked us to choose at least four to mix into our poem.

Spicy Guacamole Heart

love is like avocado
always too mushy or too hard
mixed with the right ingredients
it may give some days a little spice
feel ripe with purpose
and mash uselessness
but after squeezing and forking
leaves an empty shell

This morning when I opened the kindle on my tablet, the audiobook function on the Creature Feature stories from Amazon started working. I had thought that was a fun idea, but for some reason the audio button wasn’t showing up for me before. I liked how I could read the story, and then when I was doing something else, like looking at my morning’s photoshoot, I could switch it to audio, and then when I was done picking my images for the day, I could go back to reading, and it kept my place switching back and forth. I wonder if they have that functionality for any horror novels in prime reading. I found a couple of Jeffrey Deaver thriller short stories, but I’ll keep looking.

Happy Reading and Writing!
