My personal project for #NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) is a tiny little project "resonant whispers" where I will write, short intimate pieces, reflections you could say, capturing the quiet moments and lingering feelings that shape our lives. Ghosts, personal experiences, raw emotions and the subtle beauty of the everyday.

For all of these poems, I will be stripping down my poetry to just two lines per poem, with a / in between each line to offer a breath to strip each poem and moment into its purest form, creating a collection of resonant whispers, poetry to bloom within the sparsest of lines and where I do a direct piece from the official NaPoWriMo prompts (I have no intention of doing them all),

I'll include it beneath with their prompt so you can see how my mind works.

Full archive of both of these projects are here:

“Dancing like a ghost, the words fall out of the actor’s mouth almost like they are speaking about their own lives, half-forgotten like a ballad opera remixed for the modern day, contradicting the play they are meant to be performing.

Basked in the moonlight, – each line a mirror to their soul, warped into a different meaning rewriting the past as much as hollowing out the truth, the play losing it’s meaning becoming more and more like a melodrama instead of naturalist with each step.”
