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 GentlyFeral who gave us this challenge.

Take it away GentlyFeral:

This one is in three steps, and it is my Old Reliable:

Your Twenty Fitfh Naporwrimo Poetry Challenge is:

The Old Reliable

  1. Pick a sense image or something you can see/hear/smell happening nearby.
  2. Pick (or invent) a verse form*
  3. 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!
