Update: Writing Poetry

April 9, 2019 at 5:00 am (Poetry)

April is National Poetry Month!

 

For most people that would mean reading poetry, but for writers, it means writing a poem a day. 🙂 (Of course, reading them too. Check out Poets dot org for a different poem every day.)

 

A friend posted a simple prompt for each day in April in our writer’s group. (You can find some online by searching for poetry prompts. There’s a TON out there. Give it a try! You don’t have to show it to anybody else if you don’t like how it turns out.)

 

I started late but so far I’ve written a short poem on the prompts dress, telescope, secrets and book. I was a little surprised by where some of them went and I’m looking forward to sharing them with you. (Hint: Ever looked through a telescope and seen an eye looking back at you? Thankfully, neither have I.)

 

Still working on editing of my novel Earthbound, and my short horror story but I’ll get there! Right now I’m going to go send another short science fiction story out to yet ANOTHER publication and hope they like it enough to publish it.

 

Wish me luck!
