100 Day Project Three – Day 29

DAY 29 (July 10th, 2018)

BETWEEN TWO DARK SEAS

between two dark seas—
the same dark sea—
soul waters flood a sinuous straight—
We cannot drown or
run aground
on jagged cliffs
or fathoms down.

I boasted once
and called myself navigator,
but verily bound—
the sextant round
plots eerily upright
by some spectral hand.

The 100 Day Project

The 100 Day Project

The 100 Day Project is a creativity excavation. It’s about unearthing dormant or unrealized creativity by committing to a daily practice everyday for 100 days.
Creativity is a skill. The more we practice, the more skilled we become. Practice takes time. Practice takes commitment. Practice is a radical act in this speeded up world. Through practice, we develop a creative habit. Through habit, we reconnect with and know ourselves again as a creative being.

I started this, my third, 100 Day Project on June 12th, 2018. My project is to write at least one first-draft stanza inspired by a poem, a quote, an idea, a painting—anything, really (or nothing at all) and to write at least one hundred shitty first-draft words of my novel. I’ll post the results here.

Enjoy!
