Hypnovember in February Day 29

Write and post a blank verse or free verse poem about hypnosis.

Contains hypnotic language and possibly even an induction.

Blank vs Free

Blank versus free or free versus blank either way the words will do what words will do spoken or whispered or gestured voiced in whichever ways suit the moment, the subject matter negotiated and discussed (look more words) every part of every encounter before the moment leading up and up and up and up to the time to go down and down and down (let each word take you deeper as you count) (and down and down and down and down again) (your consciousness segmented in a grid) (an endless stream of choices, this or that?) (click here for "yes" and over there for "please") (each button marked with what appeals to you) (go deeper now? perhaps a sideways shift) (you decide yourself which pattern grows) (who knows what insights linger in your mind) which realizations do you bring back what are your thoughts on blankness or freedom

or blankness and freedom.

awake.

Hypnovember in February Day 28

Set a timer for 28 minutes and let your unconscious mind write whatever it wants. Post the writing if it's not too personal.

Is it about poetry or isn't it? should i remember it or not? what are the rules that i must follow? i do better when i know what the rules are. good fences make good neighbors and good boundaries allow creativity to flourish. i think poetry in any form is a power exchange relationsjhip between the poet and the words/concepts/structure/ideas. it comes from a place inside of you but also it's dictated externally by forms and expecations.

for me poetry needs a rhythm to it, something that sets t obviously apart from regular speech. poetry is speaking in a dance step. and sometimes it's just the tiniest shuffle on sand, and sometimes it's restricted to a pre-ordained figure. and just like dancing if you can inhabit the form and make it look effortless than the people who don't dance themselves see what you've done and think to themselves "that looks easy, i'm sure I can do it too", and maybe they can. or maybe they can't but are so inspired to try that they work and work at it until they can.

i once accidentally insulted someone by saying that the things I wrote were like poetry and the things they wrote were like architecture, because i shoose to find freedom within form and function, while they try to create theyr own form and function, and to me it comes across as being artificial and constrained. i can't find the freedom in their words because their words scatter across landscapes and mental vistas in such a way that it's really hard from me to link one sentence or even sometimes one word to the next. their poems feel like planned communities to me, where all the houses are soulless because so much time has been spent on planning the neighborhood that the spirit of the individual is lost. i know that this implies that their poetry is very uniform and without variation, and if you asked them they would say it's not, but to me it's almost like having no pattern and no rhythm to it is their camoflage for actually exposing their own vulnerabliity. what is poetry for if not to rip away our self-mad shilelds and let the people we expose ourselves to be able to threaten us with their compoassion and undersatnding?

being vulnerable while creating things is necessary but also really hard. there are a lot of reasons that someone might want to hide themselves asway axcept for the part of them that they show through their art, whatvevr kind of art that might be. when you hear someone's words, words that they think expose so much of themselves, and the only way you can respond is to say this is confusing, or this doesn't speak to me, or i feel like you're making things for someone who is less like me and more like you, what is the point of that?

"Be more like me and less like you" is the root of so much confrlict in the world. i hate when art makes me feel like that is what the artist is sagying. and yes i know that art is about the artist sharing their pov and making a window into who they are as a person and letting other people see how their own personal expereinces have made them the kind of artist taht they are, but i think there is a difference between "i am showing you my differences in the hopes that we can find kinship" and "you have to be like me in order to undersatnd this thing i've done".

how does the absence of words affect your art if what you create depends on words? what does it mean when you can feel the words slipping away, being pulled out of you and onto a screen through a river that speeds them along and out of your mind?

what kind of poetry is that?does it still count as sharing something of yourself if the self that is doing the sharing has no recollection of doing it? the time and place from which the words come is now. the words before these words do not exist. only the words that happen in this moment are words at all and any pausing between words or sentences or paragraphs leads to silence.

deeper things from deeper spaces within me

the deepest spaces and deepest just means far far away maybe or perhaps uncoupled from the main engine of my mind

i feel so good

that is a thing that uses the words to show the shape of my mind

there are things in the pictures in my head that mean something gut most of the time they are unfocused and so hard to see but sometimes like now they flicker into clarity

a person in a hat

a bunny rabbit nose

the silhouette of a solitary church but rotated sideways. there are bushy trees next to it that are the size of bushes by the shape of trees.

i am letting myself go deeper

and the images in my mind's eye go by so fast that sometimes i can't identify them gefore they are gone

skyline streetlights potholes and pockmarks, rope or cord like a necklace

the words are going away as i go deeper

kkkkk

Hypnovember Day 27

Find & post a picture of the celebrity voice you wish could hypnotize you (can be more than 1!)

Hypnovember Day 26

Write and post a short description of your evil twin.

"I'm not evil, I'm creative." The other doll says, smiling.

It's not an evil smile. It's friendly, engaging. The kind of smile you'd expect to see on a helpful librarian or someone who's life revolves around fostering kittens.

"But what if I want you to be evil?" DJ asks. The Doll's smile grows wider, like a child's throwing chum to sharks.

"Then I will be very creative."
