I posted my prompt fill for this week. I'm not sure if I quite suceeded at blending 2 senses though but it was fun https://percevalprintpress.neocities.org/writing/muse/

The image in the first few stanzas are so striking!! * __ * You really succeeded in capturing how scent is tied so closely to memory!!

the straightforwardness of this is very clean, very powerful. it feels like a monologue, almost, a warning with weight from the line breaks. i like how it closes and ends with 'you never forget the smell'--giving it the definite article and repetition instead of a description

This new prompt is quite a lot of fun, isn’t it? Or perhaps I spend too much time blending senses in the first place. https://chills.neocities.org/writing/muse

I've loved all of the prompts, but I've been swamped all month! Finished up and posted the piece I started for the feb(!!) echo prompt, hopefully freeing myself from the "oh god i can't read anyone else's before I write my version what if i can never have an original idea" cycle. Looking forward to catching up on folks' writings!

Hey, if it's any comfort, I read other people's pieces all the time before writing my own. It prompts me to think about the prompt in new ways, which gives me a more original idea than what I started with!

hi lovelies ! i have another prompt for y'all 🥰 write a piece in which you blend two physical senses. maybe focus in on the taste or shape of words, or the feel of an old memory. imagine & sink into those sensations and see what comes up.

Looking forward to this- this prompt hits differently when you have synesthesia. :P

new muse entry! i went a bit more metaphorical with the cycle of the seasons and how it relates to my own mental health. https://vagueshape.neocities.org/muse

i definitely relate to the questions this poem asks in the face of seasonal change and wanting to imitate it and at least get some ounce of that guarantee for regrowth after cold devastation

I really liked this piece! The questions posed to the trees are so earnestly simple, so concisely phrased. And I love the sounds of "only whispers what the wind will allow" as well as the idea. Really cool.

explore a life cycle in some kind of writing. for example, you could use metamorphosis, diapause/hibernation, paedogenesis [very weird], puberty, the salmon life cycle, the amphibian life cycle, or something else entirely! you don't have to be direct-- just start here and get inspired.

i'd prefer that you have a page dedicated specifically to muse, as the idea is that we're all able to access each other's writing for specifically these prompts easily ! once you do that, i'll make sure to add you to the members page :]

Added muse entry this morning. I have not touched poetry in a while but this prompt was great. I suppose the muse will get me back into the writing flow.

After re-reading it, I figured ghazl sounds better in Arabic due to the motion of its vowels and lack thereof, but English may still have a chance if the rhyme scheme was just right.

neocities won't post this week's prompt for some reason, so please just check the home page of the muse site! separately, i want to note that i really encourage y'all to comment on this profile once you've finished your pieces ! we don't all follow each other, after all. secondly, please comment on each other's writing ! the purpose of this club is obviously to write, but it's also to find community in writing.
