I care about facts, objectivity, science, the truth--but these concerns can get in the way of poetry's appreciation of impression, emotion, experience, The Truth. This month I'm challenging myself to resist the urge to look everything up as I'm writing, and it's working--today I wrote without one urge to look something up!
Prompt today is from
NaPoWriMo: "try writing a poem of your own that uses rhyme, but without adhering to specific line lengths." I also just jacked Robert Hillyer's rhyme scheme from "Fog" wholesale--a technique I saw at Tabatha's blog recently.
And don't miss the Kidlitosphere Progressive Poem, hosted by Margaret Simon of
Reflections on the Teche and carried forward each day by this list of contributors.
