  • An Exercise In A Word

    The
    writing exercise was simple: write a single syllable word on a piece of
    paper, pass it to the person on your right.  When you receive your
    word from the person on your left start writing with the first word of
    each phrase being the word you received.  After a time pass the
    paper to the right and continue until you receive your original
    work.  Go!

    not

    Not before I met you
    Not that day the clouds parted
    Not the green of your eyes, and
    Not the smile you give.

    Not the end but beginnings
    Not the yes in your lips
    Not forever but always
    Not in the end.

    Cup of my life, chalice adored
    Cup that I drink from
    Cup never scorned.

    Cup that holds us
    Cup from which we sup
    Cup of our hands
    Cup to our lips we bring up.

    Bell of the flower
    Bell of the ball
    Bell which rings forever
    Bell to us all.

    Bell you bring me
    Bell I see you ring
    Bell covered in velvet

    Sneeze and I bless thee
    Sneeze my heart out
    Sneeze when I love you
    Sneeze all of me out.

    Post my notes dearly
    Post our words high
    Post I'll tie around me
    Post till I die.
