A quotation from Betty Comden

New York, New York — a helluva town,
The Bronx is up, but the Battery’s down,
The people ride in a hole in the ground:
New York, New York — it’s a helluva town.

Betty Comden (1917-2006) Actress, comedian, screenwriter, lyricist
“New York, New York” (song) [with Adolph Green] (1944)

Pulse kicks, or: Breath locks

One faint buzz hums
out through the dark
pulse kicks hard once
breath locks in place
I know that name
electricity

W3 poetry prompt

For this week’s W3, AJ Wilson encourages us to write about a sudden or dramatic moment, like a storm, a shock, or a big realization. The poem must be 5 to 8 lines long, and nearly every word has to be only one syllable. We may use exactly one longer word, but it must appear as the very last word in the poem.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!
