National Poetry Writing Month, or 'April,'
as it is otherwise known, has come to a close for another year. I
perhaps could have knuckled down with it a bit more. I managed to
upload a poem on 3 out of 4 Wednesdays, and I have a small handful of
poems still to put up.
I
had a lot going on this month, and the prompts that the site offered
often just didn't really sit with me. But I had my own ideas, and
I've worked on a few creating a number of other drafts. I'm going to
get them fed back at Writers Connect before uploading
them here every Wednesday.
One
of the setbacks to poetry is the time it takes to make lines rhyme,
if that's what you're planning on doing. I've wanted to write a few
rap verses. I managed one. It takes a lot of patience to say what you
want to say and match it to vowels in other words. A blog post like
this one, that I'm bashing up as quickly as possible, I can upload to
the blog as fast as I can think and type the thoughts. Poetry takes a
hell of a lot longer, so the output is a lot smaller.
I
still want to work on rhyme though, so stay tuned for more.
