Poems – Stolid.

The dictionary.com word challenge continues. Next up is ‘stolid’, which is ‘not easily stirred or moved mentally; unemotional; impassive’.

Our world is pretty jaded, and the simple beauties around us are so powerful and so plentiful, that they’re almost impossibly complex. Think mountains or the sky. The way the sun hits the horizon as it descends toward sunset, or the way the stars glow on those dark, brooding nights. Visually simple, but so amazingly complex.

Poems – New Project.

I’m using dictionary.com’s word of the day to help shatter a writing slump that I’m currently weathering. Today’s word is ‘slake’, which is ‘to lessen or allay (thirst, desire, wrath, etc.) by satisfying’, and my goal is to write a brief piece using that word. No hesitation, no waiting, no perfectionism. Wish me luck.
