Exquisite Corpse and Other Collaborations - 5. Tapestries of Imagination (a Haibun)
Poetry anchors me to the world around me. When I started to write it, it helped me hold on to my humanity, for life on the street could have easily stolen that away. Prose lets me explore the world—many worlds and different types of characters—from the safety of my living room chair.
The flow of pen on paper, fingers on keys, creates intricate language and landscapes
Weaves a tapestry of imagination to transport Writer and Reader into realms unknown
There we can fly through space, fight aliens and our fears, and learn more about ourselves
No topic is too far-fetched, and we can walk safely for a mile in someone else's shoes
From the comfort of my chair, I explore the landscapes of my mind: distant galaxies, pastoral fields, gritty underworlds filled with diverse characters. Whatever my mind imagines, that is my stage. When I write, my pen becomes a conductor’s wand, intentionally orchestrating the prose.
Words flow from our hands, they fuel our imaginations
Let our hearts sing with joy and feed our artistic souls
Like notes strung together to form a musical composition,
Story-telling incites creative expression and emotional response
Writing has always been an outlet for me. I hope that my prose entertains, my poems make you feel, and blogs make you think, as others' work does for me. I believe the written word can benefit all; even a journal brings satisfaction. I encourage everyone to keep on writing and reading, all our words and thoughts are important.
Like a bridge that spans a river, language connects a population
Uniting people with its profound capacity to raise awareness and build relationships
Words can shatter lives and worlds; they can open your mind and hearts
But a silent pen is a shame, another voice unheard in a world where all voices should sing.
