Writing poetry everyday can be a challenge, which of course that is what OctPoWriMo is about. Well at least to some degree. It's about poetry and word awareness. It's about inspiring and sharing poetry with the world. It's about understanding that writing poetry really can be for everyone.
Poetry is emotions transferred to the page. We all have emotions, we all feel pain, love, loss, caring, and more.
Writing poetry can be a traditional form, a made up form, or free form. It can make sense, or not.
Gather your tools, your list of words, your magnets, your books, open to your senses, open to your feelings and give yourself permission to write a poem everyday.
Keep it simple.
What are you feeling?
What are you seeing?
To write poetry everyday, is to relax into the words, to not make it complicated, to allow yourself to write whatever comes up for you.
Come to the page at the same time everyday, or not.
Write in a notebook, on your blog, in Evernote, 750words.com, Yarny or even on Twitter as micropoetry in 140 characters or less.
There is no right or wrong way to participate in this challenge. You can write 31 poems in 31 days, we can do it together.
