#MELLOWYELLOW

Picture Color • Navy

Mellow

My first association with the prompt word was: They call me mellow yellow... 🎶🎶🎶

Then, reading up about the song and it's meaning, I knew what my photo was going to be. 🍌😁

As the triple trouble anon I’m just borrowing a lotta stuff from mellowyellow so pls credit them bc their what I’m getting a lot of this info from but as far as I know Arthur and Audrey aren’t too far off from each other due to some specific parallels (six letter name, both are ‘hated’ by Orin in some way, etc), so if Arthur were to be an MTF it’s very likely that she’d end up being another Audrey, especially when it comes to the naming.

However I don’t think they’d act exactly the same. Arya (tfem Arthur. Name stolen from mellowyellow lol) would probably be less introverted and certainly way more extroverted despite likely sharing many insecurities with Audrey. She’s also a lot more willing to annoy people. I can imagine she’d be twice as annoying than usual to Orin. At the very least she gets a glow up.p

Tfem! Denton personally isn't m' favorite thin', but I can't lie n say it's not an interestin idea.

Featured Poem :

Today’s featured participant is MellowYellow, which brings us a driving, musical poem in response to Day 27’s American sonnet prompt

Glass Heart Sonnet

Photo by Tim Mossholder on Unsplash

once you pity the fig tree because its roots

keep it moored in this unfortunate place

twice you are jealous when you know its branches

take joy in stroking strands of longhaired wind

she is a wild woman, cool and hip and tripping

on acid jazz, loose lipped and adlibbing, freestyle mix

just breathe he says, just drive he says to the fields

the painting is really bodily fluids, life of the artist

as is music and poetry, the amniotic, the vomit

lymph, blood and ejaculate of their spirit, such inspiration

can feel unpalatable, yet truth does not require your appetite

someone sings to the siren across the lake, it is France

birds be dub, be good to me and I won’t bend this heart

it’s made of glass, and facetted like freedom, and reflects

…

Prompt 27th April 2024

Write an “American sonnet.” What’s that? Well, it’s like a regular sonnet but . . . fewer rules? Like a traditional Spencerian or Shakespearean sonnet, an American sonnet is shortish (generally 14 lines, but not necessarily!), discursive, and tends to end with a bang, but there’s no need to have a rhyme scheme or even a specific meter.

FEATURED BLOGGER

The Turmeric Poets (Part III)

BY VI KHI NAO

For myself, I have yet to find an interpretation that speaks of a potent tender rawness of the bucolic, aurous, inviting texture of “Đây Thôn Vĩ Dạ.” The poem holds the lunular strand of my existence on the prismatic brink of sedated, gilded mahogany, that deliquesced beige, dust-like state between disintegrated mortal recoil of a verdant, ephemeral, cognitive afternoon and my muted, ratiocinative love for a distant Vietnam. Despite encountering what many would consider a noteworthy translation by N.T. Anh in Modern Poetry Translation, the translation struck me as incomplete, somehow lacking or overly sanitized. Motivated by this sense of dissatisfaction, a form of constructive discontent, I embarked on the daunting task of crafting my own translation, drawing on the most authentic vernacular of my lexical lineage.

“Đây Thôn Vĩ Dạ.”

Here in Georgic Vĩ Dạ, translated by Vi Khi Nao

Won't you come visit georgic Vĩ ?

And, gaze at rows of newly awakened light

mounted on the areca trees

In satiny garden verdant as jade

As bamboo foliage hyphenates

& shades the field

Wind bands with wind, cloud with cloud

The river glides sadly while the cornflowers sway

Whose boat perches on the moonlit river

Will it escort the moon back in time tonight?

Musing of faraway travelants,

faraway travelants

Oh darling, your blouse so insolently

white, so insolently disguised

Here the smoke-smeared fog blurs the sylph

Mine or yours – whose love has more umami, is more profound?

Đây Thôn Vĩ Dạ by Hàn Mặc Tử

Sao anh không về chơi thôn Vĩ?

Nhìn nắng hàng cau nắng mới lên.

Vườn ai mướt quá, xanh như ngọc

Lá trúc che ngang mặt chữ điền.

Gió theo lối gió, mây đường mây,

Dòng nước buồn thiu, hoa bắp lay...

Thuyền ai đậu bến sông trăng đó,

Có chở trăng về kịp tối nay?

Mơ khách đường xa, khách đường xa,

Áo em trắng quá nhìn không ra...

Ở đây sương khói mờ nhân ảnh,

Ai biết tình ai có đậm đà?

In the act of translating the text, my aim was not to westernize it, but rather to capture its intrinsic 'nghệness' or its 'yellow spice,' endeavoring to extract not just superficial hints but the tunic of turmeric. Unlike the culinary process of taste-testing a dish to ensure the right balance of salt, pepper, paprika, and turmeric, translation is more about the nuanced garment of soul and soil. It involves posing the correct questions for appraisal. I consistently interrogate myself: does this poetic re-concoction contain an adequate infusion of yellow? Does it bear (bà gánh) the right measure of 'nghệ' or 'duende'? Does it appropriately shoulder the precise weight of (xứ) nghệ?

Prompt : Try your hand at writing a sijo. This is a traditional Korean verse form. A sijo has three lines of 14-16 syllables. The first line introduces the poem’s theme, the second discusses it, and the third line, which is divided into two sentences or clauses, ends the poem – usually with some kind of twist or surprise.

You could also write a sijo in six lines – at least when it comes to translating classical sijo into English, translators seem to have developed this habit, as you can see from these translations of poems by Jong Mong-Ju and U Tak.

The Faithful Heart

Jong Mong-Ju

1320 – 1392

Though this body die and die,

though it die a hundred times;

though these bones bleach and pulverize to dust;

whether my soul will be or will not be––

This heart was pledged to my lord:

how could it ever change?

Jong Mong-Ju, born in 1320, was an ambassador, and a poet. He was assassinated in Taejong in 1392.

****

2060

U Tak

1263 –1343

The spring breeze melted away the snow

on the hills and was quickly gone without a trace

Would that I borrowed it briefly

to blow through my hair;

I wish to blow away the ageing frost

thickening behind my ears.

This poem is in the public domain. Classical Korean Poetry: More Than 600 Verses since the 12th Century (Fremont, California: Asian Humanities Press, 1994).

U Tak, born in 1263, was a Korean philosopher of neo-Confucianism and poet. He died in 1343.

Poem Title : Impotence

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

Spring after spring has come and gone with its plum blossom promising

High hopes that rise like frothy waves towards the sky to pluck the moon

Branches bear fruit, waves fish and weed : hopes ebb, fade infertile.

Hello and Welcome , I'm MellowYellow

Crazy thing happend to me this week. I had to get a new debit card since someone got my information.

On a lighter note I just got playstation plus on my ps4 so I can play games with my friends again. I find the game more fun that way. I usually play on peaceful by myself but with friends I'll go to easy or normal mode. It can be a little irritating trying to build things when your playing on hard mode.

What's your favorite thing to do in minecraft? I like to build a small house then explore the world untell I collect all the plants and animals so it's just one big animal garden palace. I'll be happy to play with you if you like just comment your gamer tag. We don't have to play minecraft either we could play whatever your hearts desire I'll just need a heads up just incase I don't have the game so I can order it.

Today I'm feeling EARTH BROWN

Just imagine the feeling of soft powdered dirt under your bare feet while the sun sets and warms your skin.

I hope you had a great week and have a wonderful weekend!
