kaleidoscope

On the 10th December and the 19th November I spoke about my half-baked 'theory' of the kaleidoscopic nature of creativity - and on the 10th December I spoke about taking dictation from images/objects. I started with art works, random objects, then worked through a couple of Taylor Wessing exhibition catalogues and a couple of photographic books from the library.

It was advice given to Rilke by Rodin, to write from life, the way an artist sketches.

I mentioned on the 10th that I was just getting round to look at Jo Bell's latest poetry prompt (on her site 52/write a poem a week) 'light: everything is illuminated' (week 49 here).  I  thought I should put myself on the line and share one of my dictation processes here. The photo here was taken the same night as 'red frost' and appeared first on my FB page.

I glued together Jo Bell's prompt with taking 'dictation' from the image itself - here goes:


light

at this time of year (bleak

and drear)

still comes

glintglowsmear

out from hiding

to lick the eye

crisp a crystal shout

I am here I am here

to tickle you

pin prickle you

to briefly

shear your heart of doubt
