Prompt!
The atmosphere at the East Meets Words Open Mic can feel much like a constant invitation to be creative and persistent encouragement to engage in artistic conversation. We thought we’d try to cultivate some more of that here with this new feature, Prompt! Every month or every other week (depending on how this develops), a BPRLive contributor will post a prompt for you to make whatever you are compelled to with it. If you’d like to share, post your response (like a poem, thoughts or sudden/micro fiction) or a link to your response (like a blog post, scanned drawings, video, an mp3 of a music composition or photos) in the comments section of the Prompt! blog post. The contributor will (probably) also respond to the prompt and post that in the comments section at some point.
Here’s one to get this feature rolling: What echoes resound in your heart?
Looking forward to your responses!

rain drops like a metronome outside my window
the chaotic-yet-controlled bouncing of a drumstick upon a ride.
Squishing of bare feet as they run through the rural fields of 1950s Taiwan.
the desire to break beyond the barrier of my heart and breathe in the everyday.

The struggle, the change, and the life.
I love your responses! I feel like they present glimpses of unique perspectives I can’t help but wonder about. Here’s my response… Scribbled into a notebook as I rode on the bus a couple days ago:
Autumn lingers in the cockles of my heart, suffused them with cool, yellow afternoons, glowing twilight, blazing foliage and their rustlings that sometimes permeate me when these vestiges of many autumns are jostled by gusts of wind, murmurs of a brook or nostalgic melodies, circulate through my body with every beating, throbbing or surging of my heart, prickling palms, tingling scalp and neck, a chilly, refreshing breeze within.
