NaPoMo Dickinsonian Oracle and Writing Exercise #15
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 sputters:
Drab Habitation of Whom?
Tabernacle or Tomb -
Or Dome of Worm -
Or Porch of Gnome -
Or some Elf's Catacombe?
(E. Dickinson, 916)
And the writing commandment commands:
Choose some architectural element of a building, and write a poem that brings this element into nature (either fatasized or more literally depicted). Be a spy in a tree; describe what you see.
