Poetry Prompts: 5 drabbles, 5 fandoms
A variation on an exercise from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
thisbluespirit. Here are the steps.
1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.
2: Visit this site to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER [Note: Random Poem is the fourth tab from the left]. Write down the 5th line. Repeat five times and - you guessed it - list them in alphabetical order!
3: Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble for each fandom (try to do it all in one sitting), using the line from the poem as a prompt. You don't have to include it in the drabble - it's just inspiration. [Note: I did a full drabble for each]
My fandoms:
Agatha Christie
BBC Sherlock
Good Omens
Jeeves & Wooster
Sherlock Holmes (ACD)
My random poem 5th lines:
He never misses a Degree— [Dickinson, “The Moon is distant from the sea”]
His thoughts were bare, his words were brittle [Robert Service, “Rose Leaves”]
That sowed the flower, he preferred— [Dickinson, “Although I put away his life”]
through wire and fog and dog-bark [Charles Bukowski, “Love & Fame & Death”]
--"You left us in tatters, without shoes or socks, [Thomas Hardy, “The Ruined Maid”]
