Must be a haiku

earendil was sailing the sea

when a bird fell from heaven to he

in the morning he woke

and— Eru! What a joke!

Not a bird but his wife did he see

Hey friends, I am definitely addicted to limericks and decided there was an unacceptable dearth of appreciation for them in the communities of this accursed site. So, I made one! Join up if you like writing or reading short-form structured poetry that might maybe make you laugh. Or cry? Who knows. Hope to see you there. 🫡🙂

I once flew to Egypt for mummy to settle some pain in my tummy; I learned robbing a grave isn’t all that they rave, and besides, all the goods just get crummy.

Artist Research - Olga Ziemska

Olga Ziemska is a Polish-American sculptor who works with natural materials and blends nature with humanity. An extract from her artist statement goes as follows: "Returning meaning back to nature. Making the human body a part of the whole, not the whole part.  Blending the body in. Showing how easily it can mesh, morph and disappear.  The body is nothing without that which surrounds it."

I decided to focus on Stillness In Motion, one of Ziemska’s most impressive sculptures, Ziemska uses only cut willow branches and wire to depict the silhouette of a woman, with flowing branches extending behind her. This piece piqued my interest due to the materials used and the scale of the sculpture (both factors I learned to look out for by watching the sculpture seminar last semester).

Olga's work and her connection between nature and humans is of great interest as well as concerning my project idea. Connecting nature with people and possibly looking at how nature can take over the human form over time is something I may choose to explore in my upcoming electives.

The Cranberries – Zombie

Hello! If this is a poetry exchange, can we write poetry for it too? Only that, shorter than 1000 words?

If one of the songs or poems you receive as a prompt inspires you to write a poem of your own, by all means!

While your poem does not need to be 1000 words long, we do ask that you put a similar amount of time and effort into it as it would take to write about 1000 words of fic-- after all, no one wants to receive a single 10-word haiku as their finished gift!

Try to aim for at least 200-300 cumulative words, though this total is somewhat flexible, since writing poetry can be harder to quantify than normal fic. If you prefer working with shorter poetry formats, consider writing a series of connected poems! Or, if you're feeling generous, one poem for each of your giftee's prompts (should they submit more than one!)
