Hello!
The prompt for Day 3 of NaPoWriMo instructed:
“First, make a list of ten words. You can generate this list however you’d like – pull a book off the shelf and find ten words you like, name ten things you can see from where you’re sitting, etc. Now, for each word, use Rhymezone to identify two to four similar-sounding or rhyming words”
I enlisted the help of my old pal https://randomwordgenerator.com/ to come up with the initial ten words, then found the ‘rhymes’ as tasked. I have put the original random words in bold throughout my poem, and underlined the ones I chose from those presented as ‘rhymes’.
In a revolutionary (but scary) move
The huge human system
Was given licence
To stop.
Like nature’s subterfuge,
Suddenly our meristems
Were allowed to burst from creative soil.
Without the usual toil,
Some perfect thoughts
Pushed past stubborn egos.
And Spring was seen
For the privilege it always is.
Slowing our usual dictation
And engaging in consultation
With this state of homeo…station
Could be the levelling basis
For metamorphosis.
Well, I feel that was a poem firmly pointing to the present and future, not trapped in the past 😉
What do you think we will learn about our usual way of conducting ourselves through this period of social distancing? Do you predict that humankind will build on any knowledge we glean, or do you think this time will just become a “where were you when…” talking point that loses its introspective spin offs down the years?
As always, I hope you all remain safe and well – and I’ll come back with my response to Day 4’s prompt as soon as I can!
