October Poems (Poetry, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

These poems were all written, one each day, in October 2020. They are about aspects of contemporary life, in both its humorous and serious aspects. They began about mid-September 2020, when I was invited, by Nancy Bonnington, to join a Facebook group for writers. Within a week or so, she announced 'Writober', to begin on 1st October and go right through the month. She would post a picture every day, and the task was to write a short story, of one to three paragraphs, of whatever the picture inspired in us.

So, on the first day, I sat down with the picture in front of me, and wrote ... and what came out was not prose, but poetry, which I duly posted.
Nancy pronounced it 'Wonderful', and some others were kind enough to 'Like' it, and I was energised, and challenged. On the second day I produced poetry again, and that was it; I challenged myself to write a poem each day, to the prompt, and this book is the result. Some of them have been tweaked; others, like 'Skin Deep', were not the original poem but another, equally valid, and which it seemed a shame not to publish alongside the other

So here they are, in the order in which they were written. Some are better than others, depending on what the picture-prompt of the day suggested to me. They may not be perfect, and I don't say they're the greatest poetry ever written, but they're mine and I'm proud of having written them.

I hope you enjoy them.
