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 last prompt of the year – optional, as always! Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem in which the speaker is identified with, or compared to, a character from myth or legend, as in Claire Scott’s poem “Scheherazade at the Doctor’s Office.”
Poem for Today
A Dark Elf (Drizzit)
30 April 24
For ages beyond measure he has existed
From a race of those who shunned the light
He stood out from their accursed nature
He became a hero to some
A traitor to his people
And when he tried to pursue his natural instincts of life
He was abandoned by both
When I first read of his travels and adventures in Icewind Dale
It wasn’t his fighting prowess that I admired
It wasn’t his abilities I coveted
It was his ability to stand up for himself
In the face of what others said was right or wrong
The light that comes from the darkness
Is always brighter than the light that comes from the sun
It has much farther to travel
And more dangers to overcome
