Prompt for Monday: liminal
Because You Asked about the Line Between Prose and Poetry by Howard Nemerov
Evolution by Linda Bierds
The idea for today is to examine the nature of the liminal-- what it means to be neither this nor that, but something in-between.
Contemplate an axis on which you fall in the middle. What does it mean to be in that liminal space? What would it mean for you to slide to one extreme or the other?
Consider, as Bierds does in Evolution, an unanswered question of our time. How does that question resonate with the world? With your sense of self or emotional reality?
Incorporate one of the following phrases into a poem:
"There came a moment you couldn't tell"
"not long before supper"
"Halfway along the taut wires / that hummed between crime / and pardon"
