NaPoMo Dickinsonian Oracle and Writing Exercise #13
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 announces:
My best Acquaintances are those
With Whom I spoke no Word -
The Star that stated come to Town
Esteemed Me never rude
Although to their Celestial Call
I failed to make reply -
My constant - reverential Face
Sufficient Courtesy -
(E. Dickinson, 1062)
The writing commandment:
Image that a star is your best friend, giving you advice about the question you asked the oracle. Write. That. Star-spoken. Poem.
