Thanks to @blind-the-winds for the tag!

This is from my novel-in-progress. I'll try not to over-explain, but: it's loosely based on events from my own life (with a lot of straight-up fiction thrown in), and stylistically I'm aiming for something like "if Kathy Acker wrote Jack Kerouac's On the Road." There are the main narrative sections (which hew more closely to the structure of OtR), but then there are all these interludes and meta-fictional weirdnesses and... Anyway, this is one of the main narrative sections.

I buzzed her in, and she said: “And I brought a joint. I thought maybe you’d wanna get high.” Hell yeah, I wanted to get high. “Let’s go out,” I said, grabbing my jacket. I knew we couldn’t talk or smoke like we wanted in front of my boyfriend, who sat noodling around on his guitar in the next room. He’d take one look at Rat Hole and decide she was a bad influence, and he hated weed, too. We headed east on Irving Park Road, towards the Brown Line Stop. Rat Hole cupped her hand around the flame of her green lighter and lit the joint, took a puff, passed it to me. We walked in silence for a bit, passing the joint back and forth, keeping an eye out for cops. Soon everything was a stoned symphony of sound and color, the headlights of passing cars bending and refracting in our blurry vision, their tires wsssshhhing over the wet, salty streets. We got so high we forgot it was still cold; our blood was warm and everything felt like spring. We took the el to Belmont Ave. and it was Rat Hole’s first time on Belmont, and ever after that place became a symbol of our friendship. I thought of my ode to Belmont; the night was like a living version of it. They were all there: punks with six-inch tall Day-Glo mohicans, Jesus People proselytizing, drag queens in their feathers and spangles, goths in their big black boots, suburban spare changers, pickpockets and prostitutes in the Punkin’ Donuts parking lot, and all the sounds, bass booming behind doors of dance clubs, car horns and stereos and hey fuck you, buddy! And all the smells—donut grease, car exhaust, smoke (sewer, cigar, incense), hot dog water, deep dish pizza, grime—an Eau d’ Belmont.

I'll tag @belialjones @endreal @kurnutus86 @hthrrloooo @chucklingpecan @big-low-t @dee-the-red-witch — and any other writer pal who'd like to participate. (But don't feel obligated! And P.S. feel free to use any recent work, be it poetry or prose, fiction or non. I've put poetry in these things before.)

Tag game for the poets and poetically inclined

I was indirectly tagged by @chucklingpecan:

A poem that tends to pop into your mind

One line in a song

One line in a movie

A word you'll avoid for fear of over-usage

One word that is you, metaphorically (no explanation)

My answers:

"See, it was like this, when..." by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and "Scrambled Eggs and Whiskey" by Hayden Carruth.

I'm not gonna get too sentimental / like those other sticky valentines —Elvis Costello, from "Alison"

If I told you I loved you, would you take it the wrong way? —from Foxfire (1996)

I can't think of one I do avoid, but there are several I should avoid because I know I overuse them: moon, train(s), ghost(s).

Gutter. (Pretty sure I overuse that one, too.)

I tag whoever wants to play!

The (very) Unofficial Bob Ross’ Happy Trees Poetry Tools Workshop Day 27 - Aphorism

Today we’re going to talk about another tool that can help us become better poets—aphorism. This is when we write a poem that’s a pithy statement about a truth.

It’s basically a maxim or an adage, but said in a poetic way. Let’s look at some examples:

The truth whispered outside the back door shuffling limited facts @chucklingpecan

hate is a seed planted in the fertile minds of children where nothing else is allowed to grow… @the-silent-troubadour

Why does a poet need to know how to write an aphorism? Because it’s a good way to learn to write short poems, where all the motifs and imagery directly support the theme (day 23). That also means aphorisms contain all the building blocks needed for Imagism poems.

What is an Imagism poem? I’ll explain tomorrow!

Have fun writing happy trees!
