Sorry for missing last week’s prompt. It has been a rough week. I hope you are writing; I am managing only a couple a week. I may try to do a binge day, but the results are likely not to be very useful, even for editing projects.
Rather than using a sample prompt, let’s try to science a poem.
For the first prompt, write a love poem using the following terms: “hydrogen,” “subatomic,” “cloud chamber,” “bubble chamber,” “supersaturated,” “superheated,” “electromagnetic,” “recompressed,” “collider,” “interactions,” “voltage,” “amplifier,” and “positron.”
If none of those words resonate with you, try reading CERN article “Seeing the Invisible: Event Displays in Particle Physics” or the “Bubble Tracks: A Window on the Subatomic” from PhysicsCentral. Or use one of the articles as the subject of an erasure or blackout poem.
Finally write an ekphrastic using one of the images above. What messages or sigils do you see in the patterns?
