Hi.
Thursday. Make it wikems time.
Thursday. Make it wikems time.
Wikems = Wikipedia poems.
- Each Thursday (usually around 8a.m. Eastern) I post a link to a Wikipedia article, a quote from it and my wikem inspired by that quote.
- I invite you to explore the article, searching for a quote that clicks with you. (You are free to use "my" Wiki quote if it happens to be the one.)
- Once you've found your quote, use it as an epigraph, write your wikem and post a link to it in the comments below. (You are welcome to post your wikem directly in the comments if you prefer.)
Let's play!
A very talented young woman Maria Popova and her essay on the importance of storytelling in the age of information and (lack of) wisdom led me to today's wiki prompt:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storytelling
Explore. Search. Find. Write.
Here's my wikem.
“People
have used the carved trunks of living trees and ephemeral media (such as sand
and leaves) to record stories in pictures or with writing.”
we draw our stories
on
the ephemeral sand
ebony
of space
we
record ourselves
on
the carved trunks of birch trees
ivory
of clouds
we
imprint our song
on
the world filled with echoes
parchment
of all time
Thank you for reading. Look forward to your wikems.
Live for the Love of it,
Sasha A. Palmer (a.k.a. "Happy")
