Giant UU Climate Convocation on Saturday; so many last-minute details like oh-yeah-we-probably-need--a-moderator-for-the-consensus-discussion-and-what-about-"Blue Boat Home?"***
So dear Linda made it easy for us with this:
Write a poem from your O-L-W for 2023
Or
Find a piece of artwork that has a word(s) embedded and write an ekphrastic poem inspired by the piece
Or
Go to Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day (any similar site) and be inspired by a word from there
Or
Just write a poem–about anything that needs to be written
Et voila here is a definito that is definitoly linked to my OLW hashtag CHANGE:
****Bonus "Blue Boat Home"
Ah, love "each delicate fluctuation", yes, must watch so carefully for that change. Best wishes for those weekend plans, Heidi.
ReplyDeleteEvery moment slightly new. Again and again I am mesmerized by your word spacing. It's something I want to be able to do...effectively.
ReplyDeleteOh, the word choice!! "numerous, cumulous, nucleus, nuance" and "watch, catch" and "delicate fluctuation." SWOON!!! Your form is the perfect container for your craft!!
ReplyDeleteLovely focus in this poem, of cloud nuances. It really made me think about clouds and how they change second to second. Thanks, Heidi.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely poem. my favorite parts are #change and the final line.
ReplyDeleteI love the shape on the page, too, Heidi. So delicate and cloudlike!
ReplyDeleteoooooh, each "delicate fluctuation"...is perfect! The way you meet challenges amazes me. I love this definito.
ReplyDeleteGenius, as always... "your nucleus of rain" - you nail the definito in both the english and science depts!
ReplyDeleteI really love "numerous cumulus!" It's just a delight to say.
ReplyDeleteI agree with so many others - your word choice is fantastic. Your poem packs a lot of information and delight into a small space.
ReplyDeleteI love every word of this, Heidi! How I love watching those "delicate fluctuations" on a lazy summer afternoon!
ReplyDeleteI love those cloudy nuances! Ruth, thereisnosuchthingasagodforsakentown.blogspot.com
ReplyDelete"your every cloudy nuance" — which could apply to so many things. Love this, Heidi.
