Bends low, comes up twenty years away. Stooping in rhythm through potato drills. Where he was digging. You ate that ...

Ideas for Writing
Write a stanza or two containing general images that resonate strongly with one another so that their overall effect creates a powerful atmosphere. Make a general statement and then follow it with a highly specific image that "shows" the meaning of the statement. Create an image, and then bend the image in stages so it becomes transformed into something else. In order to capture archetypal and instinctual levels of consciousness, write out an important experience in which you use elemental kinds of images.

With your bitter, twisted lies,. You may trod me in the very dirt. But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? Cause I walk like I've got oil wells.

Sd the Shotgun to the Head excerpt. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Dreadlocked Dervish of Words. Interview with Saul Williams. Have not been born yet. They are waiting patiently. For the past to die. Were to share a story. With a burning Bush. Where is that voice from nowhere to remind us. That the holy ground we walk on, purified by native blood has rooted trees. Whose fallen leaves now colour code a sacred list of demands? Who among us can give translation of autumn's hues to morning news? The crack of bo...

Black was the heart. Black the liver, black the lungs. Unable to suck in light. Black the blood in its loud tunnel. Black the bowels packed in furnace. Black too the muscles. Striving to pull out into the light. Black the nerves, black the brain. With its tombed visions. Black also the soul, the huge stammer.
