Blogpost for The Rules of the Poem : https://blog.illestpreacha.com/napowrimogenmo2025dendo3

For the 13th Poem of #NaPoWriMo/ #NaPoGenMo 2025, DendroGramOfSenses3 contains rules and prompts coded in #Python. This is done by having two shuffled arrays of subject matter and creating a Dendrogram that every branch represents the amount of words allowed in that Line. Each branch is then followed by the subject they must correspond to.

#Poetry

Squinting To See
Sounds Are Loud
Sounds are Around
Twisting Inner Abilities
As the images are Small
Adding to the Internal Pressures
From these Aura Creatures
Emitting its Inner Thoughts
That contains Spiky Textures
To See

Photo: regal looking black cat lying on blue tablecloth with one leg extended over the edge of the table. His head, to the right, is turned away from the camera as he considers visitors to the bird feeders outside. This is Frankie, big man of the house.

Photo: three cats eating in triangular formation on a wooden floor, with wood wainscoting. Along the wall are two cats with a beige water dish in-between them. One cat is in the foreground, back to the camera. The holy trinity of black cats.

Photo: a black cat crouches on a windowsill, head toward the center and next to a leafy plant (oxalis). Above, a flat duck and a metal teapot ornament sit on the window's central ledge. Beyond, a bright morning sunlight.

Photo: a black cat standing, head to the left of the image, appearing to sniff the floor. The sunlight coming through a paned window to the left out of view, makes a criss-cross pattern on his back and the floor

Photo: late spring snow fall covers the yard, the conical shrubs and the red barn and outbuildings. The hills recede in the snowfall.

photo: as seen mostly from above, a gardenia plant with many (eight!) blooms sitting on the windowsill. Not in photo - the heavenly fragrance

Photo: two black cats in a cat bed. The edge of the bed, with a brown and tan geometric design is seen in foreground. The smaller kitten is at left resting his chin on the edge of the bed while the much bigger cat at right leans against his head

Photo: a single black cat curled up in a blue cat bed, under a window. Her head is slightly to the left and her fur is highlighted by the window's light.

NaPoWriMo 2025 Day 8 https://quiltr.com/?p=25012 It is tiring • and I wonder if this is • how it felt for Eve • as the door closed … #birds #dothework #haiku #NaPoWriMo #news #poetry #process #RippedFromTheHeadlines #snow #weather

Photo: mystery prints in the snow near the bird feeders, with a black resist button for scale. The button is about 1.25 inches wide, black with bright yellow letters spelling out RESIST. The tracks are about 3 inches long and appear to have two toes joined and one separate facing forward and one toe facing back.

Photo: Two birds sit atop a two sided "shepherd's crook" which hold two bird feeders. The scene is snowy and there's snow on the roof of each feeder. To the left the bird is an American Goldfinch and to the right is a Dark-eyed Junco. In the background is a snowy yard and woods.
