Destiny Destiny is a fascinating concept: “a predetermined course of events often held to be an irresistible power or agency” (Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary tenth edition). It is human nature to want to have a purpose, to search and strive to find the why of existence. But why try if the course of events isContinue reading “Day Five: Weaving the Allotted Lengths”

Day Two: Beauty Tips
Beauty Dictionary.com defines beauty as “the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).” Notice that it saysContinue reading “Day Two: Beauty Tips”
Day One: Foolish Ambition
Happy April Fool’s Day. I’m not a fan of pranks or practical jokes, so this in not one of my favorite days, but today being the beginning of a poetic journey, I thought of the Fool of the tarot: head in the clouds, not looking where he is going, about to step off a cliff.Continue reading “Day One: Foolish Ambition”
Blogging From A to Z Challenge Theme
The Master List for the A to Z Challenge opened today. This year I’m going to explore abstract nouns through photography and poetry.

Spring Has Sprung
April is coming very soon. It’s a busy month here at Experience Writing because it’s National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), and the A-Z blogging challenge.

HowContinue reading “Spring Has Sprung”

It felt weird, but good, pulling them off the wall and swapping them around, plugging them in andContinue reading “#NaPoWriMo Day 30: When Zeal Returns”
#NaPoWriMo Day 29: The penultimate poem
The poem Total Trickster It’s a complicated relationship but then, isn’t every relationship–complicated We keep it casual He wanders over on a whim takes a nap on my porch either in the chair where I like to read or the cushion on the bench When I notice him, I go out to say Hello sometimes,Continue reading “#NaPoWriMo Day 29: The penultimate poem”
#NaPoWriMo Day 28: When there is nothing but memories
The poem The Best Rooms Are Too X-rated Thinking through the bedrooms so many bedrooms moving and moving trying to make something mine I tried to settle on one to mentally linger, loiter describe in detail like a capsule through time I wanted it to be a happy place full of growth and creative industryContinue reading “#NaPoWriMo Day 28: When there is nothing but memories”
#NaPoWriMo Day 27: Massive Wonderment
The poem A Review of Wonderment At first glance, it can be confusing and a little bit scary the rush of heightened perception opening the senses to floods of emotion when facing the tremendous unknown The impressive beauty of discovery sparking the creative mind to sort through the behemoth array of memories and form newContinue reading “#NaPoWriMo Day 27: Massive Wonderment”
