Today I’m trying to capture composure in disquietude and disquietude in composure. For this morning’s shoot I colored a plastic filter in red, orange, and yellow squiggly lines to represent disquietude, and created three different cut filters with groups of shapes meant to represent composure.
2023 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 15
Today’s prompt is to write a poem without pronouns. The prompt inspired me to play with my invented “Jar and Janus” form. I talk about the form in the “Draft” section of my post Revising Poetry: Creating a process.
To Find and Temper Quiddity
Composure wishes for singularity
in the obsessive invention of disquietude
hacking gravity’s properties
like jelly and glue
yearning to find quiddity
disquietude glows allegro zing
in the tin flute of composure
Disquietude flashes nutmeg tension
at dragonfly elbows of composure
drowning in neon-green spirals
of daisy intonations
descending to temper the pod-person bite
composure conquers evil robots
in the rhapsody of disquietude
I absolutely cannot believe we are already halfway through the month. It feels like we just started. This week I got a terrible cold. My face is a mucous factory and it hurts. But maybe this is a good thing. I should have no problem turning my mind off and just letting the words flow, as long as my fingers will keep moving through the fog.
I hope your writing is going well and you are enjoying your novel.
Experience Writing 
You took me there ❤️
