For National Poetry Month, I’m sharing some of my faves, both by me and others. If you have poetry to share, I’d love to read it! Send it to me and, if you want, give me permission to share it here. I’d love to have you involved.
You can read and listen to someone read the poem-a-day if you want to catch up on what’s happened this month.
I’m drafting a novel and creating some poetry. What are you writing this month? Let me know!
We can talk about whatever you need.
STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES
Don’t forget, I’m doing a poetry exercise and challenge this month. To participate, email me or sign up at linseyewing.com under the Get Access tab. You’ll also get freebies to help your writing journey.
Neither the poetry nor the novel is going like I wanted. I am, as usual, struggling to enjoy the space I am currently occupying. I wanted to draft. Now that I’m drafting, I want to research. My poetry not only is no good, it’s also like pulling teeth to get a rhyme sometimes.
The answer?
Stop Rhyming.
Focus on the rhythm instead.
Every space has its own rhythm. Notice the rhythm of the space you’re in, and write about it. How does it feel?
What about your favorite song? or the earworm you can’t get rid of? Do they rhyme? What’s their rhythm?
Let me know what you discover and share your poems: Contact me.
