100 Day Project Three – Day 4

DAY 4 (January 9th, 2018)

TRUE WORDS

True words—
petals plucked from the air
delicately
with pillow-soft fingertips
and a dancer’s alabaster wrist
bent just so—
yielding—
like a forlorn lover’s kiss

Petals


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 January 6th. My project is to write at least one first-draft stanza inspired by a poem, a quote, an idea, a painting—anything really. I’ll post the results at www.bradseverance.com/category/100-day-project-number-three/

Enjoy!
