Lilac Deppei

February 2025 marked the start of something I hope to continue, inspired by the FAWMs I've participated in previous years: A daily poem challenge! Here you will find links to each one, clearly titled for easier reading.

Each also contains an Oblique Strategy, a set of ~200 prompts, idioms, and statements from musician Brian Eno meant to help songwriters and other creatives with writer's block. I use them as a sort of musical tarot deck but they're intentionally vague to be used as you see fit.
