What calls for your attention
In the dark and dreary night,
Or in morning’s light of day?
What is it that reaches forth
To capture your attention
On an ordinary day?
Grasp it, and record its birth
Within your mind, hands and heart.
Detail it in an artform
To share with all the world.
Syllabic Verse
“Art is born in attention. Its midwife is detail.”
~Julia Cameron, American artist, author and teacher

Prompt: What does attention reveal
#NaPoWriMo–Day 11–Prompt: Poem that blends detail with abstraction
Snow!
So white!
Lightly falling
On the meadow,
Covering the walkway.
Children excitedly shout
“Snow Day!” as schools choose to close.
Traffic slowly moves on the highway.
It’s amazing how snow changes our lives,
And it’s just tiny snowflakes stuck together!
