TSL #Prompt 29 : Convocations
Convocations in five parts divided into ‘Meditations’, ‘Lamentations’, ‘Revelations’, ‘Celebrations’ and ‘Incantations’ based on Sufjan Stevens latest album. Write one or 5 poems using the 5 words in it.
Prompt by : Dr. Ampat Koshy
Some people aren’t romantic
As for me I’m not spiritually inclined
My meditation practice
Consists in counting to fifty
Without being disturbed
By the widely chatting monkeys
Inhabitants of my mind
No luck so far.
Lamentations are in a constant
State of Flux within my mind
More on the lack of possessions
Than the on the lack of grace.
You can imagine the poor revelations
Following this absence of expectations
They are quasi inexistent to date.
Celebrations are kept simple
To breathe each day is enough
More a question of gratitude
Incantations if any
Are that it continues.
But as I said before
I’m not spiritually minded
Hoping I never receive a convocation
That would be awkward
To say the least.
