FOR NATIONAL POETRY MONTH...JUST SAW ON FACEBOOK CANDY CLARK MENTIONED A REUNION WITH CAST MEMBER RICHARD DREYFUSS FROM AMERICAN GRAFFITI AT A SHOWING OF IT AT MANN'S CHINESE THEATER RECENTLY. I THOUGHT OF HOW NICE MEMORIES ARE TO SHARE WITH THOSE YOU WERE WITH AND JUST IN GENERAL IT IS FUN TO SHARE GOOD MEMORIES. I DECIDED TO DO MY OWN POETRY PROMPT USING THE LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET IN ORDER FOR EACH WORD OF THE POEM...IT WAS AN INTERESTING SELF POETRY PROMPT. TRY IT AND SEND ME A LINK TO YOUR POEM. IT CAN BE ON ANY SUBJECT YOU WANT JUST MAKE SURE EVERY WORD STARTS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER...
IT IS ANOTHER COMFORTABLY WARM SPRING DAY SO WINDOWS ARE OPEN AND BIRDS SINGING THEIR SONGS ARE EASIER TO HEAR....TOO FAR FROM THE LAKE TO HEAR THE WAVES BUT I CAN HEAR THEM IN MY MIND ANYWAY....VERY CLOSE TO THE RIVER BUT DON'T NOTICE ANY SOUNDS FROM IT...MAYBE I NEED TO LISTEN MORE CLOSELY...ANOTHER POEM FOR NATIONAL POETRY MONTH
JUST REALIZED I HAD NOT WRITTEN A POEM TODAY FOR NATIONAL POETRY MONTH AND ANECDOTES AND ANTIDOTES POPPED INTO MY HEAD...IT WAS HARD NOT TO WRITE ABOUT THE WEATHER AGAIN BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN TODAY WAS UNUSUALLY SUNNY AND WARM FOR THIS MONTH...IT HAS BEEN THE TOP THING ON MY MIND REALLY ENJOYING IT BUT I WANTED TO CHANGE THINGS UP A BIT...
POEMS ARE MAGICAL BECAUSE YOU FIND IN THEM WHAT YOU NEED OR WANT TO SEE...WHATEVER MAKES SENSE TO YOU...OR MAKES YOU THINK OR WONDER...OPEN TO INTERPRETATION
DOING A POEM A DAY FOR NATIONAL POETRY MONTH...WAS LISTENING TO ARCHIVES IN A PROGRAM I AM IN AND THERE WAS A CREATIVE VISUALIZATION THAT SHOWED JUST HOW POWERFUL WORDS ARE...THE MORAL OF THE STORY... WORDS YOU USE CREATE FEELINGS WHICH CAN LEAD TO HEALTH ISSUES AMONG OTHER THINGS...IT IS REALLY FASCINATING...IMAGINATION IS A POWERFUL TOOL TOO...
