Poetry, Day Two: Face

* For today’s poem, take a single face you know as your point of departure. It doesn’t even have to be a real-life, flesh-and-blood face you’re writing about. Faces are everywhere in the texture of our daily lives: from portraits in the museum to the banknotes in our wallets, and from billboards and street art to online profile pictures.
* If you’d like to push yourself a bit further today, give alliteration a try — it’s a handy poetic device that involves repeating the same consonant sound multiple times.

Techno Granny

Techno savvy red-haired granny
Plucking her phone, working fingers to the bone

“I am no nanny and I don’t want a scone!
Young lady, don’t give me that tone!”

Um, I don’t know

“Is it a dog, frog or a hog?
I should not have had that last grog!”

“I only see fog,
Or maybe it’s smog?”

“I need to write my blog
And then go out for a jog”

What, no treat?

Bull faced doggy with his mouth quite soggy
Was right on treat time when the clock struck five

“I won’t leave this spot,
Until you gimme all you got!”

Day Two: “Mystery” — Manipulate Light

* A photo can create a mood and communicate an idea that transcends its subject. At this performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival, there was a sense of anticipation, enhanced by dramatic lighting that revealed silhouettes on stage.

“Oh, the summer night, Has a smile of light, And she sits on a sapphire throne” Bryan Procter

Red Light 

Red, red light
Shining oh so bright
In the middle of the night
Well, alright!

Red Light 

Something extremely mystic?
Or a red light district?
In the midst of suburbia?

“That is very unheard of”
The elderly lady scoffed

“I will surely get a hernia
Unless I leave for Serbia!”
And, she was off
