I once came across a mysterious book called Observances by Simon Lewis, which I can best describe as a minimal dictionary written by an alien, a poet, or maybe an alien poet. Each page contains one common noun, followed by an uncommon definition.
Your exercise for today is directly inspired by this book. Describe an everyday phenomena as if you are an alien poet, waking up in the human realm for the first time. We’d love to see your definitions: lovelymadness@ahundredmonkeys.com
This week marks 24 weeks of Lovely Madness. We plan to continue sending out weekly prompts until we reach 50 exercises. At that point, we’re going to do take a step back and decide what’s next. So if you were thinking about sharing with your friends or colleagues, now is the time!
