hi, here's my response to this week's prompt! it's based on that fairytale where the girl has to make nettle shirts for her seven brothers to turn them back into humans (from swans). https://manyface.neocities.org/muse#clothes - j

@caesthoffe thank you so much!! there are a lot of variants of the story, i was surprised to see just how many there are when i was refreshing myself on the premise. i think i know the story from a soviet cartoon?

hi y’all ! sorry i didn’t get to posting a prompt yesterday— it was a Very long day. this week’s prompt is “write about the feeling of clothes on a body— the way it fits & feels, and what each material inspires.” will update the site itself soon !!

I continue to like prose poetry a bit too much (and interpret prompts sideways- it's working, though!). https://owlsroost.xyz/muse.html#break

I really appreciate the honesty and self-awareness of this piece, I especially like how you called back to your earlier poems. I love the imagery of the porch in the middle!

Something I've been doing with Muse pieces in general is callbacks! Usually via metaphors echoing forwards. I find it fun and it inspires me to find ways to connect them.

wrote my first poem in a long while. i saw a prompt about breaking away from things and asked myself why ive broken away from this ritual itself, and many others i set for myself. that's what this is about https://siph.neocities.org/library/muse/

there is a lot of honesty in this piece that is very well-balanced with a certain artistic flair. I really like the format of the Shakespearean sonnet and the rhyme scheme, I think it adds to the musicality of the piece quite well!

incredibly relatable, love your use of Icarion as a word. also, don't know if you did this on purpose but "i pray everyday for my body to align with the plans i fashion in my mind" is very tran/non-binary coded, which i loved.

Sometimes you read the first line of a poem and know it'll be good. This is one of those poems. The rest followed through, but that first line is going to stick with me.

this was wonderful and relatable... i loved the rhyme scheme and the overall sentiment. i like that it seemed to be positive at the end, there is hope! remember to take care of yourself.

posted a poem for this week’s prompt. inspired by my home country which you can infer from the references. i don’t have my computer with me so a simple html page it will be for now. https://melxncholyman.neocities.org/hooves

The fractal horses of all things really connected with me. Gorgeous visuals, and it feels rooted somehow in a way that a lot of poetry doesn't.

eerm ok i saw the word break and engineer brain went brrr, i suppose you could ascribe some repetition to this piece but whoopsies i focused more on the first half than the second in this prompt! https://angelogistics.neocities.org/blog/ariadne im quite happy with how the gentleness of this piece shook itself out, it isn't really the same vibe as my other ones with the technical terms but its kind of neat!

i really liked this one! it really highlights just how panicked one's anxious thoughts can become, and it really nailed it on the head with how quickly it tends to escalate too. i especially like the touch of making it a run-on.

I love the new poem so much - the promise of conformity can feel comforting at times, yet for so many of us it is nothing more than a slow-acting poison. thank you for putting it into words so beautifully, the love and hope in this piece are inspiring!

tehuan's avatar tehuan 1 year ago

you're so sweet, thank you so much! i defiinitiely think the way we ask ourselves to conform can sometimes be euphoric, but also really harmful sometimes, n it was nice to acknowledge that while still showing respect for all the collected knowledge on how to pass, etc

incredibly resonating. its so frustrating when you finally discover who you are, yet instead of being able to bask in the joy of that you have to constantly keep fighting what feels like a losing battle of conformity. oh can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all...

this week's fill! i love the imagery of the oroborous (the serpent that eats his tail) and decided to write a little poem. I'm not great with rhyming so I think it sounds a little clunky, but I would love to turn this one into a song once day, maybe with the last stanza as the chorus! https://vagueshape.neocities.org/muse

I like this, in a sense it feels like an ode to life itself in all its facets through the cyclicality of the oroborous. I think your passion for its imagery shines through very clearly!
