• NaPoWriMo Day 26 – Indian April

  

  Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that contains at least one of a different kind of simile – an epic simile. Also known as Homeric similes, these are basically extended similes that develop over multiple lines. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they have mainly been used in epic poems, typically as decorative elements that emphasize…

• NaPoWriMo : Day 25 – Goddess of the Sea

  

  Today’s (optional) prompt is based on the aisling, a poetic form that developed in Ireland.

• NaPoWriMo : Day 23- ‘Home’

  

   Today I’d like to challenge you to write a poem in the style of Kay Ryan, whose poems tend to be short and snappy – with a lot of rhyme and sound play. They also have a deceptive simplicity about them, like proverbs or aphorisms. Once you’ve read a few, you’ll see what I mean.…
