National Poetry Writing Month Day 29
Timothy Kimo BrienEpisode Description
What is National Poetry Writing Month?
Welcome, art enthusiasts and wordsmiths alike, to another episode of Create Art Podcast! We are diving headfirst into the enchanting world of poetry as we celebrate National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo). This annual event, which takes place every April, encourages poets and aspiring writers around the globe to embrace their creativity and commit to writing a poem each day for the entire month.
The Beauty of National Poetry Writing Month:
NaPoWriMo, similar to its prose-centric counterpart National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), is a celebration of the written word and the boundless creativity that can flow when one dedicates themselves to a daily practice. Poets of all levels of expertise are invited to take part, from seasoned wordsmiths to those just dipping their toes into the vast ocean of verse.
Create Art Podcast has always been a haven for artists to share their creative processes, and NaPoWriMo offers a unique opportunity for poets to reflect on their craft. With a daily commitment to producing poetry, participants discover new facets of their writing style, experiment with various forms, and explore uncharted emotional territories.
Prompt for today
And now for our optional prompt. If you’ve been paying attention to pop-music news over the past couple of weeks, you may know that Taylor Swift has released a new double album titled “The Tortured Poets Department.” In recognition of this occasion, Merriam-Webster put together a list of ten words from Taylor Swift songs. We hope you don’t find this too torturous yourself, but we’d like to challenge you to select one these words, and write a poem that uses the word as its title.
Poem for Today
Albatross
29 April 24
The chip on my shoulder
Grew legs and wings
And started to strangle me
It fed me regurgitated lies
And was my sole source of nourishment
The weight on my shoulders got so bad
That I stooped when I walked
My head was always down
I was focused on what was behind me
Instead of the path before me
I felt comfortable
I felt safe in my solitude
I felt good that I would be the harbinger of my destruction
But then I got tired of being tired
I got tired of having the weight I didn’t need
I saw others who didn’t struggle like I did
And I wanted what they had
So, I stopped eating the food
I pried off the wings and feet
And I threw the bird off my shoulders
I was able to leap
I was able to find new food
I was able
My back straightened
My steps increased
And I was able to do more
Be more
