Today’s prompt was to find a poem and write one that maintains the shape of the original where every line starts with the first letter of the corresponding line in the original poem.

Day 2’s prompt was to write something inspired by Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken. I didn’t really shoot for the rhyme scheme or iambic pentamer though, just sort of generally similar.

It translates literally to “to blow little ducks”, but means […]

Today’s prompt was to “find a poem in a language that you don’t know, and perform a “homophonic translation” on it”, which is essentially translating the poem based on how it sounds. Decided to “translate” History of the night by Jorge Luis Borges, an Argentine writer whose work we read a lot of in high […]

Today’s prompt was to write about a gift that someone had given to you. Wrote a tanka on a coupon book my little sister made me – I’m still waiting to redeem that free basketball game she owes me.   With empty pockets, Squiggle edged scissors, some yarn And teal card stock, she Crafted with […]
