Prompt from NaPoWriMo.net: I’d like you to try your hand at a minimalist poem. What’s
that? Well, a poem that is quite short and doesn’t really try to tell a story,
but to quickly and simply capture an image or emotion. There’s even an extreme
style of minimalism in the form of one-word and other “highly
compressed” poems. You don’t have to go that far, but you might think of your
own poem for the day as a form of gesture drawing. Perhaps you might start from
a concrete noun with a lot of sensory connotations, like “Butter” or “Sandpaper,”
or “Raindrop” and – quickly, lightly – go from
there.
Your calling
Never written, only felt.
