NaPoMo Dickinsonian Oracle and Writing Exercise #11

In honor of National Poetry Month, and for those interested in its NaPoWriMo incarnation, Brightly is proud to bring to you the Dickinsonian Oracle's Oracular Writing Exercise.

Here is the NaPoWriMo DiOrOrWriEx procedure:
(1) Pose a question to the oracle.
(2) Read the oracle's pronouncement and writing commandment.
(3) Write a bit of poetry

The Dickinsonian oracle utters:

Beware of the man with purple knee-bands

Just kidding.

Here's the oracle:

Oh give it motion - deck it sweet
With Artery and Vein -
Upon it's fastened Lips lay words -
Affiance it again
To that Pink stranger we call Dust -
Acquainted more with that
Than with this horizontal one
That will not lift it's Hat -
(E. Dickinson, 1550)

And the writing commandment:

Who or what is your Pink stranger? How would your Pink stranger answer the question you've posed to the oracle? Now write a smashing poem. Go on; I dare you.
