personal universe deck

I recently joined an online poetry group for APIs. This week’s prompt was to create a “personal universe deck”: a deck of 100 cards each containing words that have meaning and sound good to you, and that are specific. 16 of the words should evoke taste for you; 16 touch; 16 hearing; 16 smell; and 16 sight. 10 evoke motion; three are abstract words; and the last seven, anything else.

In listing out words for my deck, touch, sight, and motion words came more easily to me, and found myself reaching for words conveying smell and taste. Also hearing somewhat. Also had trouble narrowing down to 100 words, so instead made two personal universe decks.

Now to play with the decks…
