Ode to Fall in Seattle--Guest post!

Heater stopped by as I was sitting down to compose my daily, and started offering suggestions, so I made her write a poem of her own.

Our warm grey blanket

Shrouding us with damp protection

Then dim light

Breaking through the clouds

Slanting through the trees

Orange, red, soggy flames

Grinding into rich hummus under my feet

As I plod home in the dark

Oh, I like the "soggy flames" metaphor. Very appropriate for October in Seattle.

About This Blog

The BlankaDay Collective is a supportive daily practice community for artists who could use a casual venue to keep them producing. Philosophically, this is the equivalent of morning pages, whether it's morning sketches or morning poems or morning comics or morning photos or plays or videos--the primary thing is to get work out there in the world daily, not to worry too much about quality, and to check in on each other to keep each other going.

If you'd like to join our community, send mail to foolissa at gmail dot com.

How the game is played

Joining means you:

* get an author account on this blog, to post your work

* have an intention to post fresh work here daily (or on a regular schedule)

* retain your copyright on anything you post here, and can take it down/edit whenever you want

* aren't averse to occasionally commenting on your fellow artists' work, so they know someone is out there looking

* agree to abide by a fuzzily-defined code of conduct that mostly involves being nice to other people, of which Alissa is the final arbiter, and acknowledge that Alissa reserves the right to revoke your membership if you do not comply with the fairly permissive but completely subjective standards in her head. (ie don't be all "that sux, beeyotch" on anyone, don't be dropping child porn here, don't be getting all bigoted about race or gender or religion or orientation all over the place, and we're prolly cool.)
