Stuffing her fingers into her pockets to keep the wind from pursuing them

]]> 2021-01-31 13:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1145391068 #3 Underlying Pattern: "her glasses hung precariously on her nose" enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1145401696 A common underlying pattern for me is the way I shade my drawings. I've been shading hair the same way for the past few years and it's very therapeutic for me. I make long, repetitive light strokes over and over again for, in the case of this drawing, twenty minutes. I shade the same way I write poems- I write long sentences and they're usually very... weak and non-impactful. I have to keep reworking them and mulling them over to give my words the impact I desire. Sometimes it would take me twenty minutes just to turn my initial line into something I'm content with. I used this in my monostich poem! ]]> 2021-01-31 13:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1145401696 21 years of speaking and I still don't have a voice enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1145638393 I'm not sure what device this is but I've always enjoyed it whenever I see it used (maybe a pun)? I tried to incorporate a similar line in my monostich poem but it doesn't have the impact that Nabokov has. ]]> 2021-01-31 15:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1145638393 waking up in winter enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1146753469 How cold her fingers and knuckles are and the way the early sun warms her back. this art makes me feel very warm and I want to describe sensations like this in my poems.]]> 2021-02-01 02:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1146753469 "sunlight peeking through the trees like paint splatter" enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1146757131 used this in my "one monostich poem" as well! i love the way sunlight pierces through trees]]> 2021-02-01 02:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1146757131 dancing among daisies enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1147452803 I've never pranced through fields of wildflowers for fear of snakes but there's something so elegant and liberating about this... This photo makes me feel more free and closer to nature. It makes me search for beauty in overlooked things like weeds. ]]> 2021-02-01 08:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1147452803 Elie Wiesel enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1152805489 "The Earth yawned beneath my feet". I love the personification Wiesel used here and it inspires me to use more personification in my poems. ]]> 2021-02-02 10:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1152805489 the original guardians enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1152862972 Snow dusted evergreens towering over me. This picture makes me feel claustrophobic but somehow also protected by the trees. ]]> 2021-02-02 10:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1152862972 ivy and moss scaling this tree enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1152869007 like a tree being swallowed by ivy, im consumed by stress
its roots entwined around my brain and scaling down my spine,
coiling around my vocal cords, my protests are suppressed

the roots weave around my veins, tormenting them with every press, 
they branch out into my shoulders, rigid, my movements confined, 
as my arms accumulate with stress

the flowers feebly sputter when i'm at my worst, i guess 
pollinated by the perennial problems that are mine, 
the petals dying, an explosive orange suppressed 

seeds left dormant in every nook and recess,
dislodged by delight, their numbers in decline, 
their sprouting suppressed. 
waiting to be fertilized by stress.

At this angle during my walk, it looked like the moon was being grabbed and dragged down into the weeds so I tried to take the picture as if moon was being pulled down. ]]> 2021-02-07 07:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1172771732 "submerged in valerian nights" enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1172779336 I used this line in one of my poems when I was trying to describe the taste of tea and feeling soothed by it... the name of the flavor of tea I was drinking at the time could also double as a time/experience so I used that description of the experience in my poem. ]]> 2021-02-07 07:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1172779336 bobbing in Cultas Lake enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1172799672 Swimming in this lake and feeling algae between my toes when my feet grazed the ground was the inspiration behind "bobbing in blue- oh geez! algae! squishing between my toes / struggling to stay afloat in seaside memories" (yes I know I said seaside, but I liked how it sounded more than lakeside, haha)! ]]> 2021-02-07 07:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1172799672 "a dead plant means nothing when all the plants are dead" enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1172806300 One of the lines of my monostich that I wrote after a walk. Normally a dead plant makes me sad, but seeing this one in a field full of dead plants, I somehow felt nothing. Its death was meaningless because it wasn't the only plant that died. It made me cynically realize this was the case for any things in real life, where some events are less special/meaningful/important if EXPERYONE experiences it. ]]> 2021-02-07 07:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1172806300 "the cold grip of the forest edge" enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1172827944 (photo by michellerlee) 
This line came from me remembering Pacific Spirit Park and how cold it was under the shade of the old growth trees and how it felt like they were pulling me in. ]]> 2021-02-07 08:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1172827944 explosive orange enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1185950974 the inspiration for the "explosive orange" flowers of my villanelle. The color of the flowers also ties in with the way they blossom in my poem, as "sputtering" usually is used for an engine dying. In my villanelle, it reflects how I put all of my effort into something (explode) and am left struggling to put any more effort in, where I'm sputtering. ]]> 2021-02-10 07:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1185950974 flowers sputtering enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1186002655 the sound of this engine sputtering was the inspiration behind when I said "flowers sputtering pollen" in my villanelle. I was making the flower blossoming motions in my hand and the only word that came to mind was sputtering in the dying, fatigued sort of way an engine does. ]]> 2021-02-10 07:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1186002655 enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1186033615 The light festival I mentioned in my ghazal! I was looking through my gallery for memories I wanted to write about. The one that stood out to me was this light festival! The most memorable sensation from the entire light festival was, surprisingly, the donuts I ate there. I ended up incorporating them in my poem. ]]> 2021-02-10 07:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1186033615 my mood sketchbook enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1190470899 My sketchbook is something that's indispensable to me! Whether I draw in my sketchbook or not is entirely dependent on my mood. Large gaps between dates of drawings indicate days where I was stressed or unmotivated. My sketchbook is a direct physical manifestation of my moods and attitudes! Creating this gif made me realize that I haven't drawn in weeks. ]]> 2021-02-11 03:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1190470899 burning low [#6] enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1190495339 This is a form that I think is representative of how I feel right now. I have many midterms and projects due soon and I've been burning for the past few days. I'm slowly running out of wax and my flame isn't burning as bright as it was two weeks ago. The flame is constantly gasping for air, and at times when I feel most overwhelmed, I feel like I too can't breathe. Luckily, reading break is coming soon and the wick can take a break soon! ]]> 2021-02-11 03:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1190495339 abrupt chaos enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1190563170 a string

She believes that without their leaves, the trees speak to each other and argue over which tree is most beautiful. She feels sympathy for the trees with few branches, as these obviously ugly trees are the targets of harsh bullying from the other trees. The trees with many branches constantly brag to the others about their beauty. My mom tells me this with so much conviction, she can't help but say "aww" when she sees an ugly tree presumably being bullied. ]]> 2021-02-11 04:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1190582408 freed memories enchanted https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1190611980
biting into warm sugar dusted donuts at the Bear Creek Light Festival,
each bite dissolving in my mouth with the aftertaste of vanilla deep-fried memories. 

bobbing in blue- oh geez! algae! squishing between my toes, struggling to stay afloat in seaside memories.

rhythmically rocking on the legs of my chair like a metronome
 as my balding biology teacher draws whiteboard bonds between nucleotide memories.

nature walks with my brother, sunset orange pollen on his nose
 buried in a botanical bed of outside memories.

sweaty palms on stage in a frilly floral purple dress, 
as “Dalia” is called and i’m teeming with pride. Memories. ]]> 2021-02-11 05:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/enchanted/drh2umsk2grwos73/wish/1190611980
