POEM A DAY FOR A YEAR CHALLENGE COMPLETED
It seemed like a great idea at the time. On 07-24-17 365 poems that did not exist a year ago now are snuggly housed at postpoems.org/. Some days I was either tired, angry, fed up, lost, pissed off imperially, sleepy, busy, unpoetically inclined, or just lazy - but, I rallied. I had to look up a few, actually more than a few.
.
Some of the poems reflected my mood perfectly - those are the ones that are pretty hokey, indecipherable, or flighty. Several are passionate, some are about kids or love or poetry writing. It offered an opportunity to go anywhere and on occasion anywhere is the locale of the poem.
.
During holidays and vacations I got behind, but caught up when I got back. Still, the task was there every time I called up the poetry site. A few of them are not too shabby, most of them are dashed off prosaic humor or the feeling from items in my field of vision, a dream, a recent memory. A few are pretty good, as poems go. I have a few favorites. It would not make a bad book of verse - ha! 365 poems - most anthologies are not THAT long!
.
While I'm glad to be done, it is kind of sad that there are no more words or phrases to look up each day and write about. So, if you have a favorite word and don't know what to do with it, send it to me and I'll write a poem about it. I've gotten really good at it. (Tee hee hee). :D
