About This Author
Guten tag! My name is Jessica and I'm 19 years old. I obviously love to write; I have been writing since I was six years old, but I became an avid writer in sixth grade. I also love listening to music and studying history. I am obsessed with Civil War, World War II, Russian, Romanov, German, and Norweigan history. I listen to mostly metal, some country, and grunge.

Wind and Anxiety Through Your Hair
Our prompt for the day (optional, as always) takes its cue from Arkansas. Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem inspired by your favorite kind of music. Try to recreate the sounds and timing of a pop ballad, a jazz improvisation, or a Bach fugue. That could mean incorporating refrains, neologisms and flights of whimsy, or repeating/inverting lines or ideas – whatever your chosen musical form would seem to require! Perhaps a good way to start is to listen to your favorite piece of music and “free-write” for the duration of the piece, and then use what you’ve written as the building blocks for your poem.
I fly through the air,
arms flailing
the fear racing through
my hair,
like the cold April wind.
Shut down,
no rinks in the foreseeable future,
but a playground will do,
maybe?
States painted on the concrete,
uneven, cracked,
is that a loose screw?
What if I fall
and knock out my piercings?
Like a new sappling,
you fall quickly
to the ground, on your knees.
Piercing is okay,
you get up,
try again,
ever so lightly,
wind through your hair,
small circle around-
it's a start;
Corona will be done soon. |
