TRILL gave this group an interesting split between actual sound and figurative voice. Diana turns it into the fractured sound of boardroom nerves, auntie jj arrives at a warbler’s trill through close attention to the natural world, and B-lu uses the remembered song of a chickadee to carry loss. Jonesy adds gulls to a lively beach scene, while Lari and Mark push TRILL toward tone, confidence, and individual expression.
What worked best was when the sound had something specific to emerge from—a bird, anxiety, a voice, a physical moment. TRILL is already a vivid word; the stronger poems gave us a reason to hear it.

lithe INTEL, a TIDAL surge —
the soft TRILL of her
