Here are some of my expressive writing pieces written in circle, presented to you as is, in all their unedited writing flow. These were usually written in 20-minute sessions, in response to a particular prompt or poem. (I also write much messier pieces about personal stories and goings-on in my life, but you’ll have to come write in circle with me to hear those!)
Techno/Eco/Parental Grief
My phone will stay lost, in a forest that will not give up its secrets.
The Priestess of Solitude
I would like to be a temple priestess at the monastery of solitude.
Crack House Door
It's a darkness that demands the alertness of the creatures that want to live through this night.
What Have I Forgotten to Say?
I have no idea who made the hole. I can only remember the feeling of the task that was mine, to hammer my peg into it.
Wolfsplaining
The wolf and I are taking a walk together through the forest, discussing our relationship.
Leaping off Whitman
I want us to reclaim the power of the fairy tales written by others and know that we will decide who Rumpelstiltskin is and how her story ends.
