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”

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. This year, since I photo-illustrate my posts anyway, and was so inspired by one word daily prompts last fall, I thought I would add a photo-challenge to the mix. HowContinue reading “Spring Has Sprung”
#SoCS: Splicing the Frayed Ends
Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt “rope” inspired me to get out and take some pictures. Living near water and boats, rope takes on a special meaning of securing connection. Here’s an excerpt from my journal this morning: “I was tied in knots. The rope fraying, unraveling, the rope tossed, wasn’t fastened at the otherContinue reading “#SoCS: Splicing the Frayed Ends”
A Year of Finishing Novels: Surprises & Set-backs
This week was both surprising and challenging. My daily writer’s meditation and novel writing habit almost got me through some very freezing weather and surprise snow, and my feeling of impending doom from world politics.

Blackout Poetry Art Day
This is it, the penultimate post of my daily photos and poetry. It’s fun that I will reach day 100 on a Stream of Consciousness Saturday. Yesterday, I got a rainbow of both chisel tip and thin Sharpies for putting words on the world, so I thought I would continue my found poetry project withContinue reading “Blackout Poetry Art Day”
