Napowrimo – Poetry Challenge – Day 25 – The Old Reliable
Hey Folks,
One of my favorite things about this whole experience has been the community of poets I’ve come to meet and know. I hope it’s been a bonding experience as much as a creative one for everyone doing Napowrimo. So I brings me nothing but the greatest of pleasure to open up the Poetry Challenge today to
Take it away
This one is in three steps, and it is my Old Reliable:
Your Twenty Fitfh Naporwrimo Poetry Challenge is:
The Old Reliable
- Pick a sense image or something you can see/hear/smell happening nearby.
- Pick (or invent) a verse form*
- Pick a topic you feel strongly about: something important. But don’t hesitate to start writing before you decide.
So you might come up with: pantoum/crap game/live your dreams
or sestina/flame/hero worship
or plum/ghazal/social progress
*One of my best poems had 5-line stanzas, and a very sparse rhyme scheme: abcde fghie jklme – etc.
Have fun!
