Make a bowl of fortunes to use as triggers. You can copy phrases from another poet’s work or perhaps from songs, to make your fortunes.I decided I would use the verses from Psalm 19 and a random number generator. The computer selected verse 5:
It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. Psalm 19:5 NIV
Here is what it triggered:
Impatient at the gate
many times
having trod this course
victory predicted
assured, yet delayed
The bride
broken, bruised
scrubbing stains
endlessly
impatient at the gate
Not time, not time
rejoicing waits

It's often amazing what something like a verse will inspire. Good poem, Karin.
That picture of a bride scrubbing stains. Perfectly disturbing. My favorite part! :)
