I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty.
Edgar Allan Poe, poet
NaPoWriMo has finally come to an end. Let's talk about my experience.
My review of the month
- It was fun. I got to write a lot more poems than I thought I was capable of writing. I wasn't able to carve out as much time as I wanted, and it did affect the quality of the poems, but I'm glad I got them out in the end.
- I learned that poetry is about beauty. Always aim for beauty when writing poems.
- I read a lot of poems. More than I think I have in any other month.
- I read a lot of lyrics. From rap, to battle rap, to rhythm and blues, to jazz, to spoken word, I listened to the music and read the lyrics. It's interesting to see how they all obey the laws of poetry and scan well.
- I've enjoyed the rap beefs between some of my favorite mainstream artist. Very entertaining to see how words can be used to build up and tear down!
Bottom line
I would like to thank you the audience. I'm happy I have a place to share my ideas and poems globally to all who are interested.
I don't really care about how large the audience is, I'm just grateful for the few that visit. Thanks! 😊
More poetry to come!
