Officially halfway through the challenge!
Today is also Easter in the UK so it is relatively busy and, for once considering the recent spate of weird weather we have had, is actually warm and sunny. So I have found myself back in one of my favourite cafes and figured I would go browsing for prompts and happened across this wonderful list of 101 poetry prompts from the site Think Written:
"13. Radio: Tune in to a radio station you don't normally listen to, and write a poem inspired by the first song or message you hear."
So, its not quite radio since I am using Spotify but here's what we got:
Delicate touch of piano key - lost among silence before
joined to its kin.
A voice, alto unhinged as chords swell behind
"Like Atlas I'm burdened"
and here the waltz becomes - enchantment, fissure
of the self; mirrors inside mind's eye
all fractured and falling away from each other and
somewhere, danse macabre;
a swell of that song once more as you question
where it rings from -
as if haunting, as if it echoes through the cavern
of your throat and ringing through your skull...
the fade back to single keys, with a warning:
"Hold it together... or you'll be consumed."
