The Gods Have Their Own Party In the asylum of my memory, I could see how the Mystic had used to be.  
 Head wreathed in flame, eyes ablaze with a confident madness, she’d cut a swath through the plebeians, a spot of tie-dye cataclysm awash in a sea of shuffling, faceless grey, so untouchable she nearly floated.   But she had been different then. It hadn’t ground her into nothingness, yet. There is something about that brief post-adolescent age that extinguishes the beautiful little life-sparkle we all have, like our brain’s dreamlobe suddenly becomes vestigial and everything that makes us dries up. Looking at her then, the strawbe The Gods Have Their Own Party

The fineness of dust makes the rain-made mud  a tense kind of slick–sticky, and weighty.  The people walk, and each step makes a triangular bowl  in the giving ground.  The collars of half-dried clay on their feet  leave a trail of distorted haloes  which the mind finds shapes in–  a prairie dog, a zebra, a lion–  marking the dry floor with a trail of myth.  They are all shamans,  
making animal golems as they walk,  each step pressing the creatures into being,  bringing them back from some cold geologic center  whose origins are far removed the matope people

an entire city in tears  walking asphalt  with hands held                  like walkways  between towers,  twisting the wind into whirlwinds of sound  & a red handkerchief flicking on the wind,  whipping & lifting the sound of the wind  & the necks of the crying                  in one motion, one  wa a city in rhythm and jazz -..

NaPoWriMo 2009! --- APRIL 15 & 16

Tue Mar 31, 2009, 1:47 AM
GET YOUR POEMING SHOES ON FOR NAPOWRIMO

Help out by :heart:'ing the article above!


PLEASE NOTE: if you aren't inclined to participate in chat, put us on watch for daily visual and text prompts anyway!




The cruellest month is upon us again!


And *The-Cabal, in conjunction with #Cabal, will be hosting a heap of excellent NaPo activities throughout April.

What's hot at #Cabal

In #Cabal, we'll be holding 20/20 sessions, which are 20-minute blocks of prompted or unprompted writing as a group, after which we share links or paste text for encouragement and discussion.

Regular times for 20/20's are difficult, given that members come from all corners of the globe. It's best to simply hop into #Cabal and wait about for the crowd to gather, and someone to call: 20/20!

Daily prompts will be posted in chat.


What's happening at *The-Cabal


Put this account on watch and check in daily for inspiring text and visual prompts.


You can link your daily poem to us in the comments on the dated deviations we'll be putting up every day, to help others find your work.


Win a NaPo Prize

Join the special privclass in #Cabal or watch this account.

Then link your poems the daily devs posted on ~TheCabal to be in the running for a weekly "NaPoem of the week" prize.


PROMPTS BELOW!


PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING! If you use a picture or link as a prompt, do please add it as a favourite, and maybe even post a link and a thankyou for the inspiration.
