The most fun I have on Steemit is #Poetryweekend brought to you by the wonderful @prydefoltz. Its starts off with Friday Poets's Exchange, Contest and Community Building.
This week I was ready with The Death of Narrative. Once you write and post your poem that's when the magic begins. There is creative fury that gets stirred up, as the post slowly come in, the comments come and everyone is checking out each other's work, and you are having 3 different creative discussions in 3 different threads.(I want to tap into this energy)
And then Haiku Saturday. and Lastly A Dead Poems Society Production, where we dust off some of our hidden poetic gems. I encourage everyone to check out and support these efforts. Better yet, enjoy in on the fun!
Which brings me back to this Post. Yesterday @momzillanc posted Listen Up!, as I was listening to her wonderful performance, something sparked with in me. We should have The Dead Spoken Word Society!
The Idea is this: pick out some Dead Spoken Word Poems that you have, I will edit them with some background music and some visuals, put them together, and have A Dead Poems Society Production. I have a lot of Dead Spokens Word stuff, also some friends of Imaginarium stuff as well. And we can have a very special 24hr Imaginarium The Dead Spoken Word Production on June 6th.
This is something that just came to me, so it's 'on the fly', still a work in progress. Maybe it turns into a thing, maybe it doesn't. But I do see it turning into Open Mic/Submission (Monthly)Event. It All depends on interest and engagement. It's not really a contest, it's more of a collaborative game. So any SBD that is made with this Dlive Video Production will be shared by all who participate.
The Mechanics of this might be tricky, but If Interested please post a link to the 'dead' spoken word poem that you would like to enter in the comments below. From there, I created a google drive folder, in which we can have a back and forth on the audio/visual edit, and work together on the production of your spoken word piece. Then I will piece together The Dead Spoken Word Mixtape and post it on Dlive.
I would also like to Invite Contributors to The Infinite Imaginarium Discord which we can start having a lot of poetic mischievous fun!
Lastly For those that are not aware June 6th is 24hr Imaginarium. Its a creative holiday. I will like to just keep on encouraging everyone on June 6th to Go nuts with whatever your calling is, take the day off or take a long lunch, or find a way at work, school, with family, friends or on a date to create; paint, sing, meditate, write poetry, empty your mind, provoke thoughtful conversations, whatever sparks your imagination.
You can use tags: #imaginarium, #deepshit #infinitepoetry #deadpoem. You can also watch or better yet join in on the Dlive live streaming of a creative hangout!(more info to come on that but right now 2:30-5:00 pm EST is the first live stream)
Or not and just do your own thing, Really it doesn't matter, if you use #Imaginarium or play around with my 24hr Imaginarium Ideas. It's actually better if you create your Imaginarium and/or Creative Event!
It's not what the Imaginarium can do for you, but what can you do for the Imaginarium that is the question...
I really do wish everyone and anyone to be curious, mischievous and playful on June 6th. This is only the beginning my friends, there is a lot of Cosmic Giggles to be had...
