Poetry: Three Sisters

Three Sisters

Three rocks –
these three sisters –
lean against each other
in north Australia country

A prompt at Open Write was to write a 2-4-6-8 poem about nature, using an image for an ekphrastic poem.

Peace (in the north country),
Kevin

Poetry: Cat In The Yard

Bobcat

Something wild;
watching us – watching it –
resting in a sun-spot corner
of a neighbor’s house
on a summer morning
with rabbits wandering, free –
it’s eyes seemingly only on me

An Open Write prompt had the example of a bear in the kitchen, and it reminded me of a bobcat the other day, sunning itself in the neighbor’s yard with nary a care in the world.

Peace (where the wild things are),
Kevin

Remembering The Night Sky

The Daily Create this morning is about constellations and I was remembering a fun, cool project we did in CLMOOC in which we invented new constellations and the origin stories, and then created a night sky. I gathered some of those pieces into this short video.

Peace (gazing upward),
Kevin

Tree Ring Music Remix

My CLMOOC friend, Wendy, had sent me some manuscript music she had composed for clarinet, and suggested I might try to do something with it with my saxophone. But I found it interesting to interpret it for keyboard, in a rather avant-garde fashion, layering different sounds to capture the sense of a tree’s rings and age.

Peace (inside the bark),
Kevin
