From a Professional to a Professional/Creative/Bookworm Shrine

27 December 202128 December 2021 ~ kaye ~ Leave a comment

This is a shrine update post. If you haven't followed this blog for a while: One year into the pandemic, I finally decided to hang the wall shelf cubby that I have had since college and that usually just sits as a prop on a shrine for items. The purpose was to make a professional … Continue reading From a Professional to a Professional/Creative/Bookworm Shrine

For Apollon, the Mousai, Mnemosyne, and Hermes

2 December 20212 December 2021 ~ kaye ~ 2 Comments

In November (or possibly late October), I wrote this poem to offer to the Gods while doing exercises to improve my grasp of formal poetic meter and rhyme — sitting down at my dining table, noise-cancelling headphones filled with ethereal meditative cello music by the artist The Wong Janice. I was reminded in passing, through … Continue reading For Apollon, the Mousai, Mnemosyne, and Hermes

Playing with Prosody

16 August 2020 ~ kaye ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday night, I started reading Alfred Corn's The Poem's Heartbeat: A Manual of Prosody because I want to better my understanding of it.

When I was perusing my old journals to look for content — and when I ultimately decided to release them back into the Earth — on Thursday night, I noticed a few things that surprised me about myself when I was younger: In my mid-teens, I wouldn't eat until I showered and prayed, and I … Continue reading Throwing Out Old Journals

The Cosmos — Void — Night — Radiance

24 July 201924 July 2019 ~ kaye ~ 4 Comments

I. O God, I have no laurel for a crown. The dust of dried leaves lies at my feet in this library whose volumes are countless. Here are the traces of all that I know, yet I open the pages and tear them out. Curled into flowers, strung together, they succumb to perfection as the … Continue reading The Cosmos — Void — Night — Radiance

Sunday Image: An Offering to the Mousai

1 October 2017 ~ kaye ~ 2 Comments

This week, I offered an agalma to the Mousai, which I found on Etsy. I really love it — the artistry reminds me of my childhood because it's in a similar style to The Last Unicorn movie, which was heavily influenced by medieval tapestries. The incense is something I hadn't offered to the Mousai before, but … Continue reading Sunday Image: An Offering to the Mousai
