Poetry Prompt: In the world of well-known poems, maybe there’s no gem quite so hoary as Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken.” Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem about your own road not taken.

NaPoWriMo : Day 1 (April Fools?)
Use the poetry prompt or wing it? I thought I would get a head start, so I crafted my first poem yesterday. The given prompt was to use a piece of art to inspire a poem – I may use that one later. So, here we go. Day 1. I will be posting my poemsContinue reading “NaPoWriMo : Day 1 (April Fools?)”
NaPoWriMo Eve: That’s National Poetry Writing Month!
It begins tomorrow. I’m still plugging away at NaNoWriMo so I guess I should call it National Novel Writing Months. I’ve also done Inktober – that I finished. Not sure what to expect. Will my creations be poignant? Perhaps. Humorous? Good chance of that. Cynical and sarcastic? What. Moi? I may experiment with different formsContinue reading “NaPoWriMo Eve: That’s National Poetry Writing Month!”

New Poets
Are you a poet? If you write poetry, then yes, you are. You don’t have to be publish or even share your creations. Keep them close to your heart if that’s what is needed in your life. Release them into the world like a flock of doves or a bunch of balloons when you areContinue reading “New Poets”
Weird Wednesday: More Miniscules + Creatures.
Continuing the evolution of my “artistic” side. Some ideas are poignant, others come from everyday situations, the last one was inspired by all the sports repeats in 2020. You can see that I haven’t figured out where to put the web link: I started a “Miniscules: Origins” movie. I got as far as a trailerContinue reading “Weird Wednesday: More Miniscules + Creatures.”

Song lyrics, onContinue reading “Music Monday: Music and Poetry-The Connection”
