It's National Poetry Month...
I'ma keep it real,
I had something major planned for y’all for National Poetry Month. Thirty poetry prompts (one for each day of the month) inspired by my own poems and writing process. I hoped we could write together this month. I’ve been missing that community.
But here’s the thing: writing one poem a day for a month straight just isn’t realistic for me, no matter what month it is. You might feel the same way. So let’s not put ourselves through that.
Instead, let’s take it sloooooooow.
Over the next thirty days, we'll write a single line of a poem each day.
At the end of the month, you’ll have a thirty-line poem. Or thirty one-line poems. Or something else entirely. It’s really up to you.
Miss a day? Write a couplet (two line poem) the next day. Or just skip it—it's really up to you. We’re taking it slow, remember. If you’re stressing about it you might be missing the point lol.
Please share your lines with me and others on social media. Use the hashtag #NaPoSloMo and mention me on Twitter or Instagram @ashanticreates to spread the word about taking things slooooow this Poetry Month.
I hope to see y’all around the web!
In peace, Ashanti
