Use all of the following seven words to construct a poem, short story, or prose:
proprioception, hallucination, indignant, cranial, juicy, hazy, ridicule
Kristin’s Entry:
I feel hazy in my hallucination
This cranial experience of juicy proprioception
Brings me
Deep into my brain-thought body
My legs and arms and toes that ridicule
That seem to laugh at my perceived experience of feeling.
I am indignant
And yet awe struck
Awe filled
By the power of my mind.
Tabby’s Entry:
It’s all a hallucination, or is it? I sit, stretching towards the heavens but nothing feels. The proprioception of myself with respect to my surroundings fade together as I attempt to define the undefinable.
I am. I am indignant and forceful. I am witty and loveable. I am cranial. I am stretching. Who should ridicule me if not me. Who should take my path and consume it within themselves, like a juicy deceptive apple fallen from its keeper.
Ariella’s Entry:
I tune into my proprioception a little too late this time. Indignant and fire red, I think: here’s the answer to her question. This is what anger feels like: a quick sharp pinch and I’m gone. Some hazy mess moves around me as I spin inside myself again.The line between cranial awareness and hallucination dims. I’m so close I can’t even see it; this could be a hallucination and I wouldn’t know. What I name it is ridicule. What I call this feeling is juicy, some small knives at my centre.
