    Write Out/Daily Create Collaborative Poem

    by
    Yesterday’s prompt for the DS106 Daily Create and Write Out poem was an invitation to collaborate on a tree-themed poem. We used Etherpad. Here is the full poem — thanks to all collaborators. A spark beneath the brittle soil, a seed awakes and stretches out towards the sun above Fibers thread their paths  burrow in […]

Peace (and poems), […]

    Music Themes In Morning

    by
    It’s not unusual for me to use music as my theme for some morning creativity — either making it or using music to inspire writing or art. This morning was no different, with my morning poem (with prompt of “sunshine” off Mastodon) leading to a guitar haiku poem and the DS106 Daily Create (“complete this […]

    Four Poems: Moth, Silence, Flower, Flood

    by
    Here are four poems from today and yesterday. The one above is from the Daily Haiku prompts off Mastodon, where today’s prompt was “moth.” This second is inspired by a poem shared by Terry, along with some explanations and possibilities and the concept of a “silence map” took hold in my mind. A third poem […]

    World Poetry Day: Finding A Poem

    by
    For World Poetry Day, the daily prompt at DS106 Daily Create was to explore poetry of endangered languages. I went black-out with mine, using a collection and some text from the editor. A simple idea: collect poems in endangered languages Help document how poetry exists The conversations and encounters with poets from all over the […]

    Radio Poem

    by
    This morning’s Daily Create was to listen to the radio, and grab some lyrics, and then make a poem. I used an online radio streaming site, bounced around, and grabbed some words. Peace (and sound), Kevin

    A Man Walked into a Bar: humour, space, self-deprecation, #activelearning

    by
    In this post I explore the pedagogy of humour in the context of higher education teaching and learning and begin to realise there’s more to humour in the classroom than having a bit of fun! This was my starting point, … Continue reading ?

    The abyss and the abyss invoked by the abyss

    by
    Flickr photo: Abyss, by lucyroo.

    Sometimes (often, really) we find little gems of text within an already great work of literature. I stumbled in this terrific segment by Writer Gianfranco Garofiglio:   Le cose non esistono se non abbiamo le parole per chiamarle. Things do … Continue reading

    Monsoon Memories: A Poem

    by
    The streets keep gleaming, I can feel the ghosts cheering The sounds that can be heard, Echo in the ear Dripping, dropping, swishing, slashing Life keeps still as calm Thrum of strings Be faintly heard, and Disappear into the night Hopes belong to loves lost long Breaths of life fill the air As minds open; […]

    Monsoon Memories: A Note

    by

The dripping sounds, the quiet and muffled whispers, the damp moods. The raindrops flow gently, […]
