WiP - Another 366 Days of Poetry: Celebrating a Thousand Words of Poetry

Image
 In May, I decided to challenge myself to doing a thousand words of poetry a day. It's a lot harder than it sounds, is all I can say. I wrote this to celebrate the first day of success, not knowing how many more days there would be. A thousand words of poetry And my soul fills with strange joy At the sweet delight of melding words Into rhythm without ploy A thousand words of poetry, And this is but Day One Of experimenting With the different forms In which such verse may come A thousand words of poetry And I did not think I’d make it through The first day of this small attempt To stretch syllabic acrobatics O’er more than a verse or two.
