Well here it is March, and we still have blogs about a wedding, visiting villages, and a few other little things from our winter sojourn to India, like to tidy up and post. I can and I will. So that will be the ongoing picking up of the pieces.
Now that spring is upon us, sunshine is mellow, I'm getting better control of health/exercise, and the discipline of writing moves back to the top of the list, esp. the poem-a-day challenge for the month of April. NaPoWriMo.com is the site if you want to learn, read, and/or try the challenge yourself, each day this month.
Because posting my poems makes them 'published,' and thus unacceptable for many magazine editors, I won't be posting my finished poems for you to read this month, but you can find my musings and comments on each day's challenge, my own musings on it, and/or exchanges with other poets, at my blog: www.thelastpageofpooh.blogspot.com with the prefix https://..
Day One, NaPoWriMo 2017
Today's challenge: a tightly rhymed poem, with some interior rhyme, in the style of.a participating poet whose work was given as an example. I take 'tight rhyme' to characterize a certain poetic terseness, as it were, every word a 'meaning' word, the meaning of the total content compressed. Hmm, isn't that something poets aim for, bringing a sense of urgency, wonder, or some significance that draws the reader in?!
Some of my doodling in search of an idea for today:
The house exhales. is exhaling. Next to me a computer is humming. hums
Neighborone or who lives next door
Sueliterally dance-walks her dog every day
Dogs who live on a leash
are intensely interested in other dogs,
especiallythose who eat a common their food and their posts
(do dogs have blogs?),
Generating lines of any significance often will require 'play time'. Today the 'recreation leader' did not show up.
Day Two, NaPoWriMo 2017
Today's prompt is to write a poem inspired by or in the form of a recipe, real or imagined. I do want/need to practice poetic forms, but this assignment gives me pause. Perhaps recipes should comprise a genre of poetry. Certainly not many things give rise to more praise and satisfaction, or speak to humanity's common need, as cooked or baked foods and the love and care that go into them.
Ingredients that might go into a poem about a recipe-as-poem... (This is not intended as a poem, just me
generating ideas for writing one... but, yes, copyright by me, as is anything else in my blog.)
Recipe as Poetry
the naming of recipes
images evoked by food
verbs associated w. preparation,
serving, eating, cautions.
surprises, wonders
quirks, amusements
nutritional analysis
materials needed
genre of food, suitable times,
seasons, time and temperature
tips and pitfalls
measurements, equipment
microwave version
