Blueful

A friend sent me this link today: http://www.blueful.com/

If you have half an hour or so and would like to experience a really innovative combination of creative writing and the internet, follow the link, follow the instructions, and follow a trail of creativity that weaves its way across the web, through various transformations and incarnations. It's part interactive poetry and part treasure hunt.

Although it's not entirely creativity for creativity's sake, I think you might enjoy it.

More Poetry

A little something from Shel Silverstein today, one that I think calls out especially to writers...

INVITATION

If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer . . .
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire,
For we have some flax golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!

~Shel Silverstein

Today's Refrigerator Poetry

While we were on vacation last week, I picked up a new set of fridge poetry magnets. Now we have twice as many words to play with, so it was not surprising that some new poetry appeared on the fridge today. In a household where the ages range from 8 to 44, with many comings and goings by friends and family as well, it is always interesting to see what turns up. They are, as usual, anonymous.

bring me books
to show your love
these strange devices of
spine and page and word
story chemistry
language mystery
beautiful worlds
and I will open
the library of my heart
