Hello, Word Artists and Admirers! It's times like these that I am grateful for my tea practice. Things have been feeling jarringly chaotic of late, so time spent with my fellow tea students (or practicing an abbreviated version of it on my own) goes a long way towards helping me stay sane.
This week's optional prompt is all about finding "joy in the chaos". As always, poetry and prose are welcome, as are fiction and non-fiction. Just please be sure to stick to one entry per person and 369 words or fewer.
Next week, Rosemary will ask us to 'rewrite one of your not-quite-working pieces by transcribing it backwards, and then following wherever that leads you. (Tip: try it on a fairly short poem, or else it could become too tedious and time-consuming.)'
Thank you Rommy!
ReplyDeleteYou are quite welcome!
DeleteI can imagine how your tea ceremonies must be calming, and a restoration of order.
ReplyDeleteThey are an oasis of much needed calm.
DeleteThe title is quite literal. These are a bunch of poetry fragments from my little beat up Moleskin...joy in chaos.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful to see you here again, Brother Ollie!
DeleteLOL, that's a joy I can appreciate!
DeleteGood day, poets & storytellers!
ReplyDeleteAh, chaos, plenty nowadays. Joy, hope to find it in poetry. :)
Always a great place to find it.
DeleteSeconded Rosemary!
