Red XIII: A Clogyrnach

The Lab Rat Dog named Red XIII

Is something that I’d not had seen.

He’s no Lab Rat Dog

His smile’s not strong,

Never wrong,

Red XIII.

She'll Walk With Springtime Wherever She Goes

Through verdant fields their laughter rings, a budding love beyond a fling. Running through heather both will endeavor to never forget spring.

Femslash February Day 2: spring

This one is more sketchy and Aurora 's hand looks off but I like the vibes 🌸🌷💐

clogyrnach poem

I will climb high up in the trees where my body sways with the breeze where I bring my mind to points left behind and I find I’m at ease.

Clogyrnach... 1

If you knew how I went to sleep, you wouldn’t be making a peep. You’d just let me go to where my bedthrow gets to show counting sheep.

//escapril// NAPOWRIMO: Day 23

There's only seven days left - and that means that things are picking up speed in our narrators life. I am having so much fun writing this #originalstory through #poetry this month for #napowrimo & using those #escapril2022 prompts in the process!

Crystal If only this were crystal clear, a crystal ball can quell my fear; my girls are growing, without my knowing, no slowing! oh – oh – dear…

Might have poem ideas for future clogyrnachs or other poems/stories…Maybe for chronoscope…hmmm…might have to think about these.

Would love to see more trope prompts.

literary & character tropes (pt. 5)

Tropes - themes, motifs, plot devices, plot points, and storylines that have become familiar genre conventions

All writers manipulate language to create certain effects. At the level of individual phrases and sentences, the skillful use of tropes is key to creating writing that’s fresh, memorable, and persuasive.

Ancient Evil: A character, concept or thing that's old and evil.

The Blind Seer: Are blind, and yet they can see more than we can, metaphorically speaking, by using heightened senses, divination, or some type of magical powers to gain knowledge of the world around them. It is a recurring theme in mythology; Justice is blind, Odin plucked out an eye to gain knowledge, and the Graeae had had only one eye among three of them. Time and time again, the sacrifice of sight is shown to result in greater cosmic knowledge.

Bloodbath Villain Origin: The villain's Start of Darkness began with sudden mass murder.

Botanical Abomination: A strange, incomprehensible organism that looks like a tree or other plant, but they came straight out of a forest from your nightmares.

Changeling Tale: Babies who are abducted by fairies and replaced.

Chronoscope: A chronoscope or time viewer is a device that uses images that show past or future events like a television. They can sometimes also cause time travel. They are common in sci-fi, and often take different forms.

Goo-Goo-Godlike: An all-powerful child who doesn't know any better.

Hide-and-Seek Horror: A game of hide-and-seek is played for horror.

The Omniscient: A character that knows everything. Either literally everything, or simply everything worth knowing under the circumstances. Beings with this ability tend to be background characters that the reader is told little about.

Reading Tea Leaves: Tasseomancy (alternatively known as tasseography or tassology) is a form of divination that interprets patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments. The method involves the quarant (the person getting their fortune told) being provided with a cup of a particular drink (Tea, Coffee and Wine being the most common forms). They are asked to drink from a specific cup, leaving a small amount for the leaves and/or pulp to gather. The leaves/pulp then form a variety of shapes, from animals to inanimate objects, even mythical creatures and specific people. These shapes hold symbolic significance, their presence spelling things ranging from good fortune to omens of doom.

If these writing notes helped with your poem/story, please tag me. Or leave a link in the replies. I'd love to read them!

I won’t argue my love again;

I’ll write the letters on your skin

in touch-starved places

with finger traces.

Heart races—

let it win.

I made this for us to fill up-- our nicknames carved on a notebook, pages bound with love--

you must be so thrilled, to then not write a word.

Beer spoke in tongues upon my lip

A familiar tale in a sip

The language of wheat

Bitterness to sweet

Life's a treat

Love the trip

IceWings: A Clogyrnach

IceWings of the winterous lands,

Never living within the sands,

With sub-zero life,

The cold cannot strife,

In the ice,

IceWing bands.

I’m Just Excited Ok

I was published in a poetry anthology this fall and it just came from Amazon! It’s a small indie publisher and I know it’s not huge but this is the first time I’ve seen my own writing in print and it’s pretty cool. Baby steps! 

If anyone wants to read it the book is America’s Emerging Poets (Pacific Region) by Z Publishing, they’re on Amazon as well as their own site. The book is kind of expensive (like $15) so don’t buy it for my sake but if you like indie poetry there’s a lot of good stuff in there! 

There's also an anthology for each region of the US (Northeast, Southwest, Pacific, etc.) so if you don’t live here in the PNW you can look for your region. Maybe you’ll know someone, I surprisingly recognized a couple names in mine.

2020 April PAD Challenge Countdown: T-minus 7

Robert Lee Brewer ||  Poetic Asides  || March 25, 2020

Poem along with the first ever April PAD Challenge Countdown, in which Robert Lee Brewer shares a prompt and a poem to get things started (on his blog, Poetic Asides), in the 10 days leading up to the 2020 April Poem-A-Day Challenge.

And now, we’re only a week from April!

Today’s prompt: write a short form poem.

Following is a list of short forms below (just click on each link to learn more about them). 

But honestly, any poem with fewer than 10 lines, whether it’s a traditional form or not would work for today’s prompt. 

Also, if you don’t consider writing “a form” is enough of a prompt, write about size (large or small) in your poem today.

Here are some short forms to check out and try:

Clogyrnach. Welsh 6-liner.

Dodoitsu. Japanese 4-liner.

Lai. French 9-liner.

Lune. American haiku.

Nonet. 9-line countdown poem.

Shadorma. Spanish 6-liner.

Triolet. French 8-liner.

Of course, you can Google other short forms if you’d like... or not... 

Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want.
